In creative mode, I solve complex issues that require all my focus. I shut down my music and give all my brain can give, but I can't maintain this state for 30+ minutes
In productive mode, where I code large chunks using techniques I already master. I don't need that much focus and I love having minimal techno/trance in the background, that's necessary for me to enter the flow state and stay there for hours
I write about coding, coder, coder's mindset, and in-between. Follow me if you want to be a better coder. Together we can share our journey and experiences ✌️

Well it depends on the mode

Exactly Nino.
There's also the impact of the genre on the code I produce
If I listen to long minimal techno mixes I'll be able deliver massive amount of code and stay in the flow state for a long time
But if I plug some ambient electronic music I'll be able to get very creative in the patterns I use and code things I couldn't code in a silent room
And if I listen to hard eurotrance I'll be able to sit through coding a feature I don't like (・`ω´・)
That's correct Nino. I agree with you
