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.

I almost always listen to music while coding and I also tend to like instrumental stuff. Lately I've been listening to:
State Azure - perfect programming music for me
Progressive Trance music generally, when I need slightly more energy.
Nier Automata OST some days I just listen to it on loop, minus a few slightly annoying tracks :) it hits a lot of the right spots for me in the right order.
I'm currently going through a SE bootcamp, so I have a relatively short experience to pull from haha. So far I love listening to lofi reggaeton/hip hop beats, but tbh any chill music does the trick! Otherwise, I just start singing along and no work gets done lol.
I'll for sure be checking out those recommendations!
no lyrics music
I like listening to relatively heavy and rhythmically complex music. It creates sort of a wall between me and all the things and thoughts that can distract me from writing code. Usually it is math metal, metalcore or, for example, AI-generated djent: youtu.be/CqvmUnG25dA
Video game OST and anime songs.
Example
Chill with no lyrics, electro and electro pop. And for INTENSE sessions of dev, I listening electro type festival 🕺
somthing classic like Chopin pavaroti or some rap I know its a weird mix
Vampire the masquerade bloodlines ost
Last of us ost
Days gone ost
The last samurai ost
The witcher wild hunt ost
Hardstyle for most of time or any Synthwave/Retrowave music that recommended by a streaming service
Classical
