What Kind of Music or Podcasts Do You Listen to While You Code?

Do you like to listen to music or podcasts while you code? If so, what kind of music or podcasts do you prefer?

Our team has a preference for instrumental music or lo-fi beats to help us focus on intensive projects. Some of our favorites include Nujabes, Lo-Fi Girl, and Tomppabeats. As for podcasts, we enjoy listening to tech-related shows like "CodeNewbie" (of course!) and "Syntax" to stay up-to-date on industry news and learn about new technologies. “Radiolab” is also a particular favorite here at DEV.

What about you? Share your favorite music or podcast recommendations in the comments below!

Today is a good day to Code what with the bloody rain and the bloody wind.
Extra points for knowing the Movie Quote I subverted there.
So it's Soft Guitar music off of Amazon Music.
Got a new kitten and he likes the bass from the subwoofer.
The older girls are protesting by staying outside!
The new kitten is objectionable to their sensibilities.

Many developers enjoy listening to music while coding as it can help them to focus and stay motivated. The type of music people listen to can vary depending on personal preferences, but instrumental music, such as classical or electronic music, is often preferred as it is less distracting than music with lyrics. zeeto.pk/daihatsu-boon-price-in-pa...
