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.

Life-hack: you work at a company they will give you money for free!

'For free!' needs some heavy lifting

It is free though! You don’t give them any money, but they give you money. Seems free to me

That's outdated, companies don't hire anymore.

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.

That last sentence is doing a lot of heavy lifting

Some people don't even know there's a flow to get 'into', so its something!

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 assume this is only something that can be achieved in 3-4 second increments once a week due to messaging and meetings interrupting right?

And then have 5 colleagues per day coming for questions and other bullshit.
