Such a random post! But I just felt in the need of sharing my favorite playlists while coding/working. I am always looking for new playlists to boost my productivity and help me focus.
I have recently started working in an open-plan office. This sounds nice, but the ugly truth is that I get constantly distracted by the noise and chatting. So I have bought a great pair of Bose Headphones with noise cancellation, which I found them to be a great invest (quite expensive, but worth it).
On the other hand, I also tend to get distracted by music in my own language (Spanish), and also by pop music. Probably because my brain forces me to sing along.
So, these are my most played Spotify playlist for working:
Tomorrowland Official Playlist
Inception OST
Focus Coding
Pure Mellow Jazz
Orgánica
This is Hans Zimmer
What about you? Which are your favorite playlists?

Music where the bass don't go like "bum bum bum buuum bum bum bum bum bam bum" but more like "buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumm" you'll hear what I mean

I work from home now. But as recently as a few years ago, I was at a decent-size company in town that moved to a brand new spiffy office building. When they did, they got rid of our cramped, sweaty, stinky "scrum rooms" (that the devs LOVED), and they replaced it with the dreaded "open floor plan". I told them, as soon as we moved to the new building, that you could easily walk around the whole (open) floor and tell, immediately, who was actually doing any real work - they're the ones with the headphones on. They kept crowing about the open floor plan as a harbinger of "collaboration". But anyone who hoped to accomplish their tasks wasn't collaborating with anyone - they were blocking out all the random noise with headphones.
