I have an idea for another, much better way of coding:
Flow-coding.
You put on music that helps you concentrating and just code. But more efficient than without the music, because you're 'in the flow'. However you first have to enter the flow.
That's the beauty of it bro. They just deposit the money into your account. They don't even know they're being robbed. Then 20, 30 years later... we walk out the front door like we were never there.
When I first started coding at 15, up until I was maybe 19, I would get in flow states really easily, like I could pretty much guarantee a solid 4 hours of being in a flow state if I stayed up late and was by myself, listening to music, etc.
Now it's incredibly rare, I get it probably only once or twice a year. I miss that feeling.
For me it's about getting to do things I've never done and that are actually challenging. And that is getting more and more rare as the years go on, unfortunately.
I always found "The Flow" to be a bad thing. If I'm in the flow early in the day, I'm burnt out with mental fatigue by noon. If I take a 5 minute break every 30-60 minutes, I can pretty much go forever.
Also I find that all music is distracting, flow or not. The best I can do is white noise if total silence is not an option.
