I wouldn’t go as far as calling it “exceptional” and HOLY MOLY what a nerdy article, but well worth a read. Don’t miss John Carmack’s comment. [via]

A series of mixes intended for listening while programming to aid concentration and increase productivity (also compatible with other activities).
I have complained about random noise at work over and over again, mostly because I have yet really to solve the problem. I am now giving musicForProgramming() a try, so far it is supremely weird and creepy with a lot of droning sounds and random bits of instrumental music thrown in. I am not too sure how well I can concentrate on work while listening to it.

Weekend coding
I’ve spent this gray and cloudy Sunday afternoon doodling around, putting some of my recent ideas into small rapid-prototype kinds of code bits. And it was fun.
Once in a while I notice how the daily work with code clouds my memory and makes me forget that I chose this profession mostly because it is so much fun. I shall try to not forget about that again.
