Agree, "Angry dev coding" could easily be "Working with XML".

or CAPSLOCK on vim

If you use vim you SHOULD remap Caps Lock to Control.

Wow. Funny idea! :) But honestly, I'm not sure if there is a less-soothing sound than someone cranking away at a keyboard. Takes me right out of my zone of concentration, and there is a reason I put on headphones :)

Actually, I found the sound to be comforting. I miss working in an office with a team on site. Of course, I still can't go hang over their cubicle and ask them a technical question, but I only expect so much of that site. ;)

Kind of off topic but where can I buy a Happy Hacking Keyboard outside the US?

From here http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=pfu_keyboards... http://elitekeyboards.com/support.php#2

Thank you! But damn, that's expensive. Better find some used one...

Burst out laughing when I clicked "Angry dev". Nice.

If you use a decent text editor (aka Emacs or Vim), XML will be no trouble to you, I'm sure :)

It's also ridiculous, you don't have to spend more than 100$ for an excellent hacking keyboard, don't buy the brand, buy the feature.

Cute! You should add the sound of "Happiness & Zen coding" (someone coding Ruby) and the sound of "Despair" (someone coding PHP), etc. :)

Except that happiness and despair haven't got much to do with the language. It's the work you do and the environment you're in that make you happy or unhappy.

Exactly. The tools themselves are rarely the source of anguish.

I'd MUCH rather write a language I don't enjoy in a clean, well-architected project than use my favorite language in a bandages-on-"quickfixes"-on-bandages project.

Interesting, I kinda liked it. But given I am a keyboard freak, the sound of an apple keyboard makes sad. Add a mechanical keyboard in there too, there's the real programming sound :). Anyhow, great job!

Cheers!Happy you like it. I've totally got to get the sound of a mechanical keyboard :)

Great, I am looking forward to that!
