I cannot hear anything when coding. My coworkers learned if they needed a question answered to tap me on the shoulder and wait while my brain loaded Japanese from disk, since coding pages it out.

That actually sounds like a great work environment.

Kinda like coding at a Starbucks, where there's nonstop conversation on all sides, but a near certainty that none of it will be directed at you. White noise + Social Energy = Productivity in my experience.
