I had a colleague that liked to hear Christmas songs while programming, ANY type of music as long as it was Christmas-y. Very odd, but the dude was amazing at programming, so...

Some good stuff on here at first glance. I often go to movie soundtracks when coding, and I see some nice selections from Uncut Gems artist Daniel Lopatin.

I'm not a huge fan of Christmas music in general, but A Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi is one of the only albums I will put on repeat while coding.

The best song for me to get things done is 'Magic Fly' by Space. Haven't found another song like that.

I've put hundreds of hours into a Hayley Westenra Christmas album. I liked it for coding because it was generally happy music but it didn't take any mental cycles away from me thinking about code. For other catchy tunes, I generally find myself singing along, which distracts me from work. But Christmas music is just background noise....

I switch between doom metal albums like Bongripper’s Satan Worshiping Doom and random YouTube videos with titles along the lines of “mind numbing adhd focus music 10hrs”

I was doing soundcloud via the paid Daftcloud App Store app. But switched mostly to the poorly promoted but growing "Dj Mixed" collection of edm on Apple Music.

A couple of my go-tos are Solar Fields and Infected Mushroom. Both are electronic; former is calm/ambient focus, latter is energetic/driving focus. Both have huuuge discographies that you can just put on shuffle

Solar Fields actually did the Mirror's Edge game soundtracks too, if you've played those. Really nice mix of ambient, almost meditative sounds. Often there's a super long, repetitive, pulsing buildup to a brief higher-energy section at the end of a track

Infected Mushroom is a wild mix of heavy Israeli dance-electronica, trance, and even rock, with a dash of metal here and there
