Developers play air guitar to Megadeth | The Register
Someone in the UK did a study on musical preferences and discovered developers enjoy listening to Megadeth, Slipknot and Iron Maiden. Wow! I fit right in. I first heard Slipknot on the knac.com when I was working on a Java servlet and JSP-based system for the Chaplaincy department at a local hospital. As soon as I heard "Wait and Bleed", I started typing faster and faster. The music increased my development efficiency and I credit it (in part) for allowing me to finish the system in a month and a half. (Only to have it entirely wiped out by a virus that attacked our production server. But that's a story for another time.)
My co-worker Rocky is buddies with a member of the venerable Slipknot. He recently put the kibosh on his blog - so now we won't be able to hear about his trials and tribulations of being a part of the IT scene and the rock scene at the same time. Rocky - bring back your blog!!!

"Symphony of Destruction" causes me to delete stuff and check in bugs, so Megadeth is not always a good thing to be listening to while coding. :)
ReplyDelete"Seek and Destroy" by Metallica makes me want to ferret out the bugs and destroy them. It's really a morale booster.
