Mostly ProgMetal/Djent. Some artists inspire me a lot while coding: - Plini - Intervals - David Maxim Micic - Arch Echo - Animals as Leaders - Polyphia - Scale the Summit - Angel Vivaldi - ... etc – a.k.a. their related artists There's also this album I used to listen to while reading Blood Meridian and nowadays while coding: - Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method by Earth Hope they inspire you too ;-)

You and I have similar tastes. I'd also like to through in some names for this genre... - Cloudkicker - Pomegranate Tiger - The Helix Nebula

Outside of this, I really like video game music while coding. Anything from the Playstation 1 era, namely the Final Fantasy 6-10 soundtracks, both OST and orchestra versions. Nobuo Uematsu is incredible.

Ambient, lo-fi, chillstep and garage is the best. I love these so much that I produce music for coding myself. These are my best playslists https://open.spotify.com/user/1167646885/playlist/0adabJ0Yu4... https://open.spotify.com/user/1167646885/playlist/04uAJE4hhK...

And my own EP https://open.spotify.com/album/40Td5u6cbC8iApy1VMopCu?si=uqv...

I'd like to add in Cloudkicker, which sounds a bit different than straight Djent, but has gotten me through a lot of college.

Glad to see this here! Modern Day Babylon are great for those looking for instrumental work in the same sphere as the above. Disperse as well - Jakub Zytecki is a fantastic guitarist and features on a lot of David Maxim Micic's work.
