Please add to the following:
Music to code by

    gentle distraction
        enough distraction to keep from getting stuck or bored
        not enough distraction to keep one from coding

    one person:
        person is to drown out noise coworkers and roommates
        instrumentals only, lyrics are distracting
        foreign language lyrics are not understood,
        so not distracting and thus OK

    another person does not care about lyrics,
    so is not distracted by them

    several folks need silence
    one folk needed silence for difficult coding,
    but music was helpful for most of other coding
    hard metal, no lyrics
        lame
        Animals as Leaders

9 folks showed up
that is how many years until the next square root day

There was strong correlation between those who had read
Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintainance
and which side of the table they sit on.

There was also a strong correlation between those who needed silence
to code and those who music helped coding.
