Does anybody listen to any particular music when there are on, say a 30
hour coding spree, barely any sleep? Fwiw, I remember listening to this
old video game music from Final Fantasy II back in the 90's during code
adventures for sure:

Just wondering... :^)

 
I started my bedroom coding journey on a ZX Spectrum+ (BASIC and machine code)
listening to Tangerine Dream and Jean-Michel Jarre.

 
I stared with BASIC as well, on my Atari. Then I got my hands on an
Apple IIGS, and it had that light weight assembler built in. I started
learning bits and pieces of assembly language, and where to poke and
peek wrt BASIC. fun times! There is a fun emulator here wrt AppleSoft Basic:

The music was recorded to
cassette from CD, as our only CD player was in the lounge Hi-Fi stack. Through
my Commodre Amiga, SGI IRIX and GNU/Linux coding years I would still listen to
TD and JMJ to get into the 'zone'. My TD and JMJ CDs are now ripped as flac
files on my GNU/Linux PC and played using cmus.
To quote Galen Erso, "It's a peaceful life."

 
Nice! This sounds great, Tangerine Dream - Best of:
