    My ability to close a door and sit, focus, and develop in silence makes me not only more productive, but also happier. I’ve done some of the best work of my career over these past 3+ years. I used to wear headphones 50+ hours a week, now it’s only when i go for a walk every morning.

      Being happier directly leads to better productivity. I’m not going to try hard to do what I don’t like or what doesn’t help me to do what I like

      There’s really nothing like sitting in a darkened room with music blasting, code pouring out of your fingers while you have an out of body experience from caffeine overdose and lack of sleep. I’ve spent my entire career chasing that high.
