What's a song that illustrates your coding journey?

For me it's the Pokémon theme song. When people ask why I'm not doing something I'm already good at, I tell them I just feel like Ash Ketchum.

Well, I don't need to be "the very best that no one ever was", but I want to be the best version of me 😀

What's yours?

Getting into software development for me was a big step in my life, and I didn't have a lot of clarity before that.

I literally took a ~28 hour train ride to New York City with no job lined up, no money and only the idea that there was something out there for me now that I had this skill.

On that note, this song is how I felt:

The subject matter in the song is much heavier than what I was dealing with, but in terms of the journey, this is metaphorically big for me.

Thanks for sharing. I have been listening to this and it is a very relatable song. And I had no idea that this was Tracey Chapman after hearing it in so many bookstores and cafes.

Hahaha, that's like one of my most favourite song that I wanted to listen when I was a kid during a Saturday morning. Which probably exposed me to rock music as my favourite genre.

Anyway back to to the topic, I think to feel my whole coding journey has been a wild ride starting with my internship at the startup I'm in.

So I believe It's My Life By Bon Jovi is the song I will pick for life is an adventure by taking a risk since we have just one life.

I really like listening to soundtracks when I code. I think the social network and inception provide some great backdrops!

Hand covers bruise from the social network gets me started!

I really enjoy the Tron soundtrack and also the Drive one. I can’t stand Drive the movie though.

[Ian Rathbone]

Haha!! It’s a little frustrating I understand ;)

For its sheer mayhem and the song title: We're Where we Were - The Voidz. Always feels like I land back where I started 😆

Some days it felt like this kind of chaos:

This is the song that plays in my head whenever my code doesn't compile or my tests fail :P

As a newbie dev I've coded lots of probably hard to maintain code over the years, but they do work when they need to. So probably Leave out all the rest - Linkin Park
