Just curious. I personally dont because it distracts me. But i see a lot of people do

Do you find it helps? what kind of music do you listen to when coding?

    Morgan Wallen. There's nothing more encouraging than some slow, sad country music.

    Yes. Depends on the mood: sometimes I go for more fast-paced music when I need to spam code, but usually I do a mix of city pop & random youtuber drama videos.

    Currently have this on repeat and have been fairly productive in the past 2 days: Looking Too Closely (Official Music Video)

    What has worked for me is to pick one song and just play it on repeat 🔁

    Spotify had a coding mode Playlist, I played it every time and since it's been repeated over and over. I knew I was in the zone by the 3rd or 4th song on the Playlist. It helps me because putting on headphones also signals my brain to sit longer. Sometimes I would repeat a song.

    I find music generally distracting, although some brain.fm playlists have helped my concentration rather than detracting from it.
