I can’t focus on work when the music is too good. So back in the day, the dumber the better 😄 Ideally Polish hip-hop, or even better — Polish reggae xDDDD
These days I’ve mellowed out a bit and listen to 80s Japanese pop instead. Highly recommended! 🎶
I think I’ve heard Polish hip-hop, but Polish reggae?? Now I’m curious 😄🤣
You don't know Polish reggae? You know nothing about life! 🤣 (I hope I won't get banned for sharing this xDDD)
I just play whitenoise 🤣 its a the only way to focus its not distracting plus now silent
Ambient electronic for thinking, Daft Punk for shipping, and existential silence for debugging. The playlist practically writes itself. 🤖
Recently started listening to Djo and I'm close to being addicted. Somehow it pairs perfectly with coding.
Markus Alexei - Burn and learn.
Monotonous music helps to focus.
Lo-fi when I'm writing code. Silence when I'm debugging. Metal when I'm fighting a merge conflict.
Although I mostly listen to the Daft Punk legend, sometimes I prefer the music from tv show intros 🫠
For me lately I've been trending away from the "intense focus" type music and more to more melo and relaxed... I've been really into Noah Kahan as my background music lately.
Curious what other people are listening to!
I tend to listen to the same music for 5+ hours straight. However, I have two soundtrack I listen to most often on different occasions.
If I am coding like working on Forem or other projects, I listen to "UNDERTALE - Hopes and Dreams / SAVE the World". It gets me moving, especially at a point where you feel like you almost "fix the bug" or "finishing the project". There are remixes out there but I preferred to listening to this specifically:
Other occasions (Like going on Dev.to, homework, or other things) I listen to "Nine Sols: The Path for Us All (Yi's Theme)":
Not the best songs to listen to when you are in intense focus, but it does get me moving.
Yiruma, Mozart or beethoven depending on the time of the day.
Nice
