Loved the UI/UX of this page. I wish more apps were developed in a simple way like this.

Re: Music for Programming
#172I've always described myself as a person with zero ability to multitask. Always have been, always will be. Every time I cook, my wife about has a panic attack watching me fumble around, forgetting things, looking for things, oh god that's burning, etc. Back on topic, I absolutely cannot listen to music with words when I code. I'll intermittently type lyrics instead of what I was intending to do. Anyone else cursed wi…
Check out my comment, you might enjoy it as an alternative to classical/techno.

#173multi-tasking decreases intelligence--there are a number of studies on this. One paper says up to 15% decrease in IQ.
And work without music temporarily decreases my IQ by 50% so I could live with the 15% decrease

#174I've really been digging house while I work lately: https://soundcloud.com/moodindigo72
House is the best for coding. I have a playlist on spotify that I always listen to, but I gotta start using Soundcloud more since there's so many great sets there. The UX kinda annoys me tho.
Yep yep, my friend is really into house and he was the one who got me onto Soundcloud because Spotify is definite lacking in that department.

#175Reminds me of Nine Inch Nail's Ghosts. I really enjoyed listening to it at work, and one day I tried listening to it while driving... I just couldn't.

Is Ghosts the one that has "Corona Radiata"?
There's two pieces of music I can't. One is Tchaikovsky's Cappricio Italiano, the other is "Corona Radiata". I'll break down sobbing and eventually wailing and I don't frakking have a clue why.

#177I sometimes refer to Every Noise at Once when I'm looking for the right music as background when I want to focus. https://everynoise.com/
For me the music has to hit a balance between being engaiging enough but not too abrasive, sometimes lyrics can completely derail my focus but I focus better when I have something to listen to to drown out the sounds of conversations and people around me when I'm trying to read.
If I'm doing something that doesn't require too much focus, like cutting things for a collage or cleaning, I can listen to podcasts and songs with singing. But if I need to read, write, or think about what I'm doing I generally cannot have the sound of someone saying something I can understand, sometimes if it's not a language I understand it can be fine though.

I love that site, discovered it a decade ago.
Integration with spotify is also very cool - whatever genre you find, there's a spotify playlist filled with songs of that genre.

I've been enjoying "datawave" which a subgenre of synth music that has a pretty strong tech/retro-future vibe.
Datassette, who put together the Music For Programming site, shows up a lot on the playlists.

Game sound tracks may be a good option, because to they are designed to be in the back ground, and not to be grating on the ears even after much repetition.
Yeah instrumental only is a must for focus.
