We're actually going to have a show with the woman who developed the Go plugin for VS Code, in a couple weeks, I think. That's gonna be pretty awesome. I want her to give us a tutorial. So that's one thing... |
Another part of my flow is the \[unintelligible 00:30:28.00\] that I can just move windows around with a couple shortcuts. I can't live without that. |
I need to have headphones on my ears. I don't care if there is music playing... Sometimes I don't realize if music's playing or not... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Really, like \[unintelligible 00:30:41.06\] That's funny. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, it's a comfort thing. It doesn't matter if it's over the ear, if it's my Apple headphone... I need to have them on. Sometimes they're not plugged, they're hanging on my side, because I move around, I unplug, and then I'm like "Oh, it's unplugged..." |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That is so funny. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** \[laughs\] Yeah. But I do listen to music... House music is very good for me for coding. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Do you use Spotify by any chance? Or do you curate your own list? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, Spotify. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I've gotten into [brain food](https://play.spotify.com/user/spotify/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWXLeA8Omikj7?play=true&utm_source=open.spotify.com&utm_medium=open), personally... For me, (on the music front, at least) I will listen to some type of electronic music. For a while I was just listening to electro... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** "pum-chick pum-chick pum-chick." |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Maybe it's like this. |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[32:01\] That reminds me... Do you guys remember the Strong Bad episodes, the little cartoon online? The one where he answers an email, and it's something about... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** You lost me. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I'll look it up, it's hilarious... He starts [imitating how techno music goes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4gqsuww6lw).. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That's so funny though, Carlisia with the headphones... Like, even if there's no music, you've gotta have them on. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I gotta have them on. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I loved hearing that. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** It's like "Concentration mode. Headphones go on." \[laughs\] |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Wow... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I think that's pretty cool. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** And also, talking about things that I don't have - I'm very aggressive about turning off notifications. I don't get mail notifications, I don't get Twitter notifications... If I'm looking at it, it's because I took the time to go look at it. So it's very important for me not to have stuff popping... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Nice. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I'm with you on that, for sure. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So Adam, what's your focused mode look like? And then I have a question to add to this, that kind of came up in this discussion. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** My focused mode - it kind of depends what I'm doing... I can't compare it to coding in Go. There's lots of times where I'm writing code, there's lots of times where I'm in Sketch, designing something, there's lots of times when I'm in Adobe Audition editing something, or face in front of a mic recor... |
But focused mode for me is definitely, like Carlisia said, turning off notifications... Basically just closing down Slack. I don't have email notifications, I silence my phone... I have stopped answering the phone, because basically I get nothing but solicitor phone calls. If I get a phone call, it's nine times (at lea... |
But music, though? I'm a little bit there with Carlisia - I've gotta have some music on. If I'm doing something that requires me to get into flow, to get into the flow of doing it and doing it well, I find myself struggling if I don't have music going on. So if I feel myself kind of dragging, I'm like "What's wrong? Wh... |
So that's kind of focused mode for me - notifications off (I do not get email notifications), close things that I'm not paying attention to, and I'm a big fan of focus, and that's what I do. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, the music thing helps a lot, too. I have ADHD too, so it's hard to get focused sometimes, and sometimes just kind of like getting in the groove of the music is enough to set you on track. So the question I had to add to all of this that sort of came up was styles of music, because this is act... |
The weird thing is is there's usually always something, and EDM. Almost everybody's like, "Death metal and EDM." |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah... I like breakbeats a lot, I like the dubstep stuff - I like that kind of stuff, but then I will easily go and switch on Guns 'n Roses. I'm a huge fan of their first album... I think it's Appetite for Destruction. So I'll easily go back and just turn on Paradise City and start doing my moves..... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[36:21\] You're close, but not quite... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Who's your number one? It's my number one too, but I haven't said their name yet. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Dream Theater. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Dream Theater, I knew it. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** There is no other band. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** There is no other band. That is the best. If you haven't listened to Dream Theater in a while, it's the best. Did you all know -- this is a side topic, and I'm sorry to take it there... But [Katrina Owen](https://twitter.com/kytrinyx) - her husband (or boyfriend, I'm not sure which it is) is a pheno... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** No, I did not know that. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** DrumQuake... Look up "DrumQuake" on YouTube; if you look at that video, you will be amazed, amazed... This guy is phenomenal. He's got a great resume, and he could totally hang with Dream Theater... That's how good he is. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's big. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah, it's big. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, how about you, Brian? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** We just did mine. Dream Theater. And honestly, it's probably the same reason that people like EDM. For me it's the complex beats, complex rhythms, complex key signatures... I need something to distract a part of my brain so I can work, and that's what it boils down to for me. I have to distract some... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** For me, I'm not super educated as far as music goes and styles, and I'm sure that there's styles out there that I would love, but I just haven't looked yet. I don't geek out on music so much, just because I wanna be practical... It's like, "Oh, this works... I don't have time." But I cannot liste... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Nice... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** \[unintelligible 00:38:19.22\] I mean, who doesn't love that band...? That to me -- they're the first one \[unintelligible 00:38:31.26\] Their first album? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I don't know... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** It's amazing! It's death metal kind of stuff, or at least the early '90s version of death metal, I guess... It's amazing. I would totally rock out to that. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** So now, if I'm doing something super repetitive, then it's the opposite... It's like, "I wanna listen to a podcast", because I don't wanna pay attention to what's happening... \[laughs\] It's so boring, and I don't wanna pay attention. I can do it, and then I want my brain to be out of focus from... |
