If you haven't coded to Infected Mushroom, then you haven't lived. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLWXSsYJoWY&feature=list_rela...
Too distracting, unnecessary high energy prevents to get in the zen mode.

#242Am I the only person who can't listen to anything while coding? My attention goes straight to the music, and I can't concentrate on the task at hand! When I was in high school, my math teacher would play Mozart during tests, claiming it would help us. It would drive me crazy, and I doubt that my grades improved as a result of the distraction. For what it's worth, I have a BMus in Piano Performance. I love music... bu…
My wife and I have ADD in different areas/amounts. The difference between us in the way we use and react to sound is, in my rather biased opinion, fascinating: Me: Single source only, absolutely can't listen to music while trying to code or read. I have used https://mynoise.net/ and the Android app to drown out environmental noise when I'm working around others. I'm very easily distracted by noise, especially things…
I've actually never really thought of this and I find it rather interesting. For years I've used a combination of ambient and post-rock music and services like mynoise to focus. I've never thought that it could be a distraction for people. Thank you for posting this, gave me something to think about.

Same for me -- EXCEPT for certain Brain.fm tracks, and my carefully-curated "flowstate" playlist consisting of a few dozen familiar tracks w/ no lyrics and a steady beat. These are only sort of "music" to me; they're _strictly_ for use as background for focus, w/ noise-cancelling headphones, and I don't listen to them for any other purpose.

#244Soundcloud has an endless supply of great music to listen to while working. There's a podcast from the Netherlands known as "Deep Electronics" that has gotten my attention recently. Give the latest episode, #257, a try: https://soundcloud.com/deep_electronic

#245I found The Social Network soundtrack works decent for me. Of course I also like Retrowave/Synthwave and Eurobeat. They may not be the "best" for concentration and working, but I like them and they seem to help.
I wonder if there is some sort of placebo-like effect that quite a few programmers tend to like this music that was used in a movie glorifying someone like them.

#246I like the idea of such ASCII GUI's for prototypes and internal IT oriented apps. It has a fun retro feel. Does anyone know of a JavaScript library for building such?
https://terminal.jcubic.pl/ is fairly good, but somewhat older and out of fashion.

If the world is silent, then not listening to anything is better (for my programming).
In the noisy clusterfuck of sound our open office is, listening to music is a soothing balm.

#248Would be great if there were also Spotify playlists. This way you could play/pause from the keyboard, find albums, related artists, skip tracks, etc.
If you like using your keyboard to browse the web, I'd like to introduce you to Tridactyl ( https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl ).

#249There's a guy who makes a playlist on Spotify called Programming with a coffee emoji, I listen to it so often I even found his Twitter or something and reached out to him to show appreciation. Turns out listening to Scandinavian Rock (melodic and lyrics I can't follow) is really good for productivity lol
Link for anyone interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2mtlhuFVOFMn6Ho3JmrLc2?si=...
Thankyou
