While vibecoding, you sometimes need some background music. But music can also be a massive distraction. A summary of my journey in finding the per...

You backed into something real here! Strategy-game scores are written to loop forever and deliberately avoid a climax, because a soundtrack that peaks would yank your attention every few minutes. Same reason film scores make terrible work music and game scores make great ones: one's built to spike emotion, the other to hold a flat, alert mood for hours. If you want more in that vein, the Factorio and Civilization ambient tracks scratch the exact same itch. 😇😊
You hit the nail on the head – This! Oh Civilization and Factorio are amazing too. Just also rediscovered Witcher 3, Kingdom Come Deliverance and Elder Scrolls. ⚜️
Funny but true. The environment affects the work more than people admit. For AI-assisted coding, anything that keeps you in review mode instead of passive acceptance mode helps.
Yes, absolutely! And because Vibecoding (done right) is more architecture and management work, which requites very-long-horizon planning and very-very-long-context managing, imo you need something that keeps you on the edge but doesn't take away the focus.
Yes, that's a good way to put it. The music has to keep a bit of forward pressure without stealing the planner's working memory.
For agent work I care less about "relaxing" and more about stable energy over a long context window.
Ha ha thanks
techno is my fav
Techno is nice too, but can't do architecture or deep-thinking with it. 🫠
Hah this was such a good read. I personally play alpha waves in the background. Not that I think that's compulsory, but just for the vibes
Thanks! Yea, Alpha Waves can work, but I feel like music keeps me more alert 😅 if you want to have deep-dive you could also look at something like 7hz, in particular: youtube.com/watch?v=X7iO_tSNwCA
Don't mind the weird title and description of it, nothing special, but it helps to get into a deep state of consciousness imo.
I love that one
Thanks :)
Red Alert (1&2) have excellent sound tracks for programming.
That's true too! :)
