Ask HN: Which songs make the ultimate deployment playlist?

by evolve2k·1y ago·2 comments·view on hn ↗

We all know the moment, you've been slaving away for ages and it's finally time to push up that major release.

Remembering back to my early coding days, in the Melbourne web dev scene in the early 2010's (shout out to inspire9 folk).

We had a special play list that went on anytime someone was ready to push live a big release.

So HN, I want to know, what are your key recommendations for the ulimate deployment play list. Any special thoughts on the song order?

Respond with a comment, a list of songs, one epic song and why or even a link to your existing playlist.

May the deployment (rock) gods shine over your future releases

1. Push It (Salt-N-Pepa)

2. The Final Countdown (Europe)

3. Under Pressure (Queen, Bowie)

4. Pressure Down (John Farnam)

5. In Motion "Coding Facebook song" (The Social Network)

6. Pocket Calculator - 2009 remaster (Computer World)

7. Livin' on a Prayer (Bon Jovi)

8. We built this city (Starship)

9. We are the champions (Queen)

Push It is such a banger and gets everyone in the mood, and following a confident first few songs I love that around 30 mins in, if your still going, that Living On a Prayer plays with the line "oooh, we're half way there..".

We Built this city is the follow up, bringing back the confidence.

"The Ride of the Valkyries" seems to be a choice, maybe its associated too much with some war movie tho
