What are you listening to?

[mantyjaska]

I do listen to chiptunes (especially Amiga demoscene stuff) when working:

Amiga music: Esau - Jesus On E's On Speed (Dolby Headphone)

but once I’m off the clock I’ve been listening to Necro Weasel:

Usually listen to instrumental music working and often find myself putting on Carbon Based Lifeforms for coding or writing sessions.

Lately musicForProgramming has given me headspace.

One of my favourite bands just released a new album
Have seen them live twice, hope this will be possible again…

I Used to Walk Alone

[finner]

what podcasts @jsonify ? I listen to Rich Roll & sometimes Rogan.
Any suggestions in the tech/ development space?

[finner]

Hi @Hallski - Carbon Based Lifeforms sounds quite good, I just randomly selected a time and it reminded me a bit of Aphex Twin. I will try it out one of these days.
If you like Post Rock (instrumental rock music) you might want to check this out. Some good rocking tunes on this mix.

Oh, I love podcasts like Swift by Sundell, The Daily Show, American Innovations, Something You Should Know, Hacking Humans, The Inquiry, and Life Kit…to name a few.

I highly recommend Reply All (https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all). Although more in the general internet side than tech / dev side.

/off-topic - awesome beard Jaska I wish I could grow one but I can’t stand the itchiness

[mantyjaska]

/beard-topic - To be honest, it’s never itched. At least that I can remember. I’ve had full beard for… gosh, for almost 20 years? Although have shaved it off on few occasions.

Funny story. When I started dating my wife, I once shaved the whole thing off “to clean up a bit”. She did not recognize me and made me swear that I’d keep it. Now I think it would shock the kids if I shaved.

thanks @mantyjaska - just listened to episode 171 - Account Suspended, will be listening to more episodes.
Have you listened to the short podcast series Rabbit Hole from The New York Times?

[mantyjaska]

No, but I need to take a listen. Looks interesting!

I can’t recommend this Reply All episode enough; https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/6nh3wk/102-long-distance
They actually track down a scam call centre

Haha I’ve seen videos on YouTube where the dad shaves his beard and the kid doesn’t recognise him

Lol just checked and there’s loads like it:
