Do you listen to music when programming?
I find that classical music is great for concentration, but can lull you into a sleepy state if it's a graceful, smooth song.
That's why a song such as Aragonaise from Bizet's Carmen is a good choice- it has a rather upbeat tempo.
Military marches in particular are quite good because of the regulated beat and morale boosting effects.
There's nothing quite like elgar's ``Pomp and Circumstance''.
And of course, those loud, booming classical tunes like the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah or Ode to Joy by Beethoven.
Such a song should be saved for when finishing something, as you revel in your own glory and the code's magnificence.
The genre of ``Lolicore'' is quite good when you need to stay awake and keep your heart rate up, but it's a double edged sword- often lowers your concentration. I can't recommend it to amateurs.
But by far my favourite song would be the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky. The booming brass, the shrilling strings, the banging drums... it all makes for a brilliant background when you're finishing everything off, and it all works as expected.
