A good pair of IEMs. Headphones still leak outside noise even with the best noise cancelling. A good seal with a good pair of IEMS pretty much cancels out any ambient noise in the room. This is the #1 distraction remedy for me that helps

I found out around the same time as you that I was a victim of identity theft. I live in S.F. and this punk lives in Las Vegas Nevada. The person(s) in question opened several accounts using my Social # and my name. They applied for loans

What I have found that helps with this behavior is to listen to my content instead of read it. It is like a safety net to stop my mind from wandering. The part of me that is prone to wander cannot - because the podcast I am listening to wo

I really don't know how I feel about this but in a sense I think it may be good for the company and bad for others who weren't privileged enough to have rich parents to send them to a top CS school.

I second the Beyer Custom One Pro's - they are bass cannons and are the best sounding headphone I have purchased (I have many 200 dollar headphones lying around).

The Flex community (before steve jobs killed it) had the same issues - every week a new client-side framework would come out and try to re-define client-side MVC. The best framework I found back then was RobotLegs, which was an MVC(s) frame

I fell in love with Courier Prime as a great throwback to when I first started coding. However, I was bothered by the lack of distinction between a zero and an O. Thus, I put slash in it. I'm curious to know how others like this font(

Well I suppose I could start with the fact that you called SublimeText a better editor - but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that when you said "or something" you meant emacs :) The thing is, people like to avoid usin
