There is a funny (as in wierd, not as in haha) passage in the clean coder where uncle Bob describes being given his own office, where he can put a record player in. He then gets 'in the zone' while listening to Pink Floyd. Weeks later he comes back to his code and find his comments are mostly lyrics of The Wall, and then proceeds to criticise the process of being in 'the flow' listening to music while coding and 'commenting code'. Really, he means having discipline and focus, but it really comes across as 'my comments were trippy as balls that day so therefore music while coding and comments in code are objectively bad', which IMHO is a bit of a reach.
