Here is a link to a 14 min NPR Pod Cast about Music and our Brain
Listen to get the idea about this question
Earworm neuroscience: why some songs stick in our brains : Short Wave : NPR[^]
Now for the relationship of all this to coding
In Nov 2019 I wrote a JavaFX project that used a DataGrid
if you have used this control you all know that setting the width
and adjusting for the vertical scrollbar takes some finesse
To overcome this issue at the time I just added a small blank column at the end
I have not been coding till this month.
Slow forward to today I am writing the same project in VB.Net and trying to
deal with the DataGridView issue with the scrollbar. Then I remembered what I did
when working with JavaFX. What trigered that memory?
So do any of you listen to music as you code ?
And if so when coding what triggers a memory of what you did in another language?
Yes I know just look back at the older project code.
I have a Code Bank application to store novel code snippets so that is my solution.

Well, no. That's distracting.

To be fair, there was a radio in the office, and sometimes I would absentlyminded sing along. Not my most productive environment.
At home I close the shutters, so no outside lights. No phone. No big clock. No distractions. Just this one thing that exists

I like music but agree listening while coding takes away from the joy of the music
and is a distraction to codding
I am a little slow on the uptake but the C# looks like the product of listening to music
and coding It has taken a while to learn this but walking away from the problem you are
trying to solve and think about it with NO Screen or Keyboard is very productive for me
vb.net
If problem LIKE veryBig Then
Just Walkaway RENE = True
ElseIF problem < verBig Then
Hello RENE = True
End If

I mostly get PTSD when listening to music while coding.
Honestly, I've seen so much code it all just blends together in matrix-like data streams, and I rely on IntelliSense to translate what I'm typing into the right language.
In all seriousness, yes, any pattern that gets stored in brain can be clustered with useful information.
But because we're bio-mechanical logic engines enslaved to a cabal of gut-bacteria getting consistent high fidelity is typically an issue. Don't think about it too much.
You can increase fidelity to useable levels by training your rote-memory on a finite data-set, and piggy backing on that as an encoding scheme instead.

I like to, but I do it like 50%

Not the music

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I guess at 76 I am always astounded at what I remember
and I agree it is easy to LIKE and also too much like ButBook and ClockTok
So Thanks to every one for the feedback

"Bumping" your question is not tolerated. What makes you think "bumping" it in a forum which explicitly bans programming questions would be any better?
Looking at your post, you haven't asked a question; you've just posted a link to your actual question on another forum. Another big no-no.
Edit your question to provide some proper details, and somebody may be able to answer it. But if nobody can, don't spam the other forums with links to your question. If you've provided as much information as you can and still haven't had a reply, then you have to assume that nobody here knows the answer to your question.

No I did not link to my own question.
I linked to another guys question.
And I stated that the answer given to him did work for me.
I also stated that users from my region have no access to that relevant forum.

And that makes it OK does it? 
If you have no access to that forum, how do you know that the question you linked to is related to your question, or that the answer given there doesn't work for you?
And what makes you think that everyone here is going to have access to that forum to read a question that isn't the same as yours?
If you're going to post a question, then POST A QUESTION. Posting a link to something that's sort-of like your question on a different site is NOT acceptable.

Hey!
So, I'll go there ... (hijaacking a "thread", as mentioned by RD) ... in light of the idea squeezed out daily through the through the in the NYT, taxing the rich (scheesch, it must some sort of agenda by now, right?) ... I THINK that the rich should just up sticks and move out of the country avoiding all the through the through the in the country. I mean after all, taxing the rich to give money to the uneducated/unevolved poor bastards so that they can have more children to push ahead and improve their physiques in the offing ... is alot like punishing the gun manufacturers for making guns used by idiots to kill both idiots and sane criminals.
Like, I mean, same thing, right?

Caring less would require effort, and I don't care enough to exert that effort.

On the contrary, caring more is what requires effort.

I was beginning to worry!
Thank you and YAUT.
My sources tell me that piquant and pungent are synonyms, and define piquant as "pleasantly stimulating or exciting to the mind" which is my own little tribute to six years of TotD. 
The clue was inspired by RETROMINGENT last week and the GENT bit in particular...

Although I got it as soon as I saw it ( I didn't look untill 11 ) it made me smile when I realised the OG reference - what was the original clue ? I've only seen the one with added clue
