Read a couple comments that highlighted the use of YouTube music while working... It seems to me that listening to YouTube, even though it gives you an infinite selection of songs, is not ideal, primarily due to the lots of advertisements. I am a high school student and I am sure that I do not spend as much time coding for personal projects as the professionals here, but still, many times I have found myself suddenly distracted by an annoying ad playing over and over again.
Also, I have some doubts on whether listening to your favorite artist is something that should be avoided while working;catching a phrase and clearing your mind for a couple minutes is an interesting recipe for increasing productivity...
I also think that YouTube is not the best solution for me, but if it works for others - why not? I also believe that the ads can distract and, depending on the playlist you find yourself skipping songs a lot which means distraction from your primary task.
Yeah, I most of the time do not listen to my favorite artists while programming. Again, this is personal preference, and I love reading all the comments about how people approach their programming sessions.
