I think every one of us has our own Dungeon Mode". It could be in the dark, it could be with headphones on, or whatever. In the end, it is what you mean by *Dungeon. It's a way to be focused at all with no interruptions.
In my case, I used to have YouTube in the background with different kinds of music. Sometimes something more relaxing, sometimes more hard. It depends on the tasks I'm doing and my mental status.
We have to find what is our Dungeon Mode and use it. And, it probably will change during our lifetime as well.
Thanks! You're right, everyone has their own version of an optimal environment that helps them enter that flow state, and different things work at different times. I do wonder if the nerd-in-the-dark stereotype "dungeon mode" we see on movies and tv just magically works for any/all developers. I didn't think it'd work for me, but somehow it organically grew into that, I was surprised that I ended up working like that.
If anyone tries I'd be curious to know the results! And thanks for your comment :)
My dark mode is at night. I don't if natural darkness combined with the silence make me be more focused. It's a different way of being in the dungeon 😉
