Your headline is more accurate and descriptive, but this headline knows its audience a lot better. This a lesson about marketing in there somewhere.

Yea I know. Apparently I should be adding hacker, programming, Ask PG, ycombinator application etc to everything I post :) I think though I did just get a lesson in what makes people click. Kinda like when I see "Kardashian's body and photoshop" headlines in my FB feed...

Also dont you think this headline is a bit misleading?

My go-to for programming music is Groove Salad on SomaFM, a San Francisco institution going on 12 years. http://somafm.com/play/groovesalad

I was all about Groove Salad until I found http://di.fm/

DI and The Crystal Method were my gateway into electronic music. Over a decade later and I haven't looked back.

Fun to have a little play around in, although I'm not sure how much programming I'd get done playing with this ;).

1) Go to pandora 2) Start a new channel 3) Type "abakus" 4) vote up/down as desired 5) go on and be productive with an awesome, low-key background soundtrack

Alternatively, grooveshark.com for people currently outside of the U.S.

I can hack/design for hours without even knowing it while listening to Kap Slap. It also helps you run a 5K faster than you might have originally imagined :) Anyone who likes remixes/house/dubstep I'd encourage you check it out! The spring break mix is an hour long and it's full of goodies. http://soundcloud.com/kapslap/kap-slap-spring-break-mix p.s. I'm only evangelizing this stuff so much because honestly if I set…

Love this, any more recco's?

This is what I code to, when I'm coding for it: http://www.audiogalaxy.com/mix/11997-The%20Coding%20Zone/

Why outside the U.S.? I'm in the U.S. and it seems to work fine.

I absolutely love upbeat electronic music and it's awesome to know I'm not the only one on Hacker News! For over six months I've been scouring the music blogs and accumulating a playlist on Spotify. I think you'll love everything I have in here - feel free to subscribe!

I'm partial to http://8tracks.com. Users have posted a ton of "study" mixes and "workout" mixes that I find perfect for when I an designing or coding.
