Re:Ask YC:What kind of music do you listen to? by porfirion on Monday June 09, 2008 @07:50AM (#212704)
20 minutes of free jazz or grindcore before hacking and time passes a lot slower.

Expanding on this: I don't listen to music while programming. If it can be treated as background music, then it's too boring to hold my attention when I need to get distracted for a moment. I try to listen to some challenging music before programming to get focused, and it seems to be working.
