I just spotted a co-worker listening to classical music and I thought it was a good idea. What kind of music or podcast motivates you to work?

I usually listen to guitar or piano music. These music are relaxing and allow me focusing on the code.

@davidtranwd yes instrumental is great to concentrate on tasks such as coding :)
A carefully curated playlist of songs that I grew over years.

@angrigoryan__ that's interesting! Did you use any specific tool to achieve this playlist?

A friend of mine listens to classic jazz music. Very soothing and relaxing while working.
As for me, I listen to light rock music, mostly 80s-90s music. Keeps me thinking about the good old days, nostalgia. It also allows me to concentrate on my tasks.
@arjayosma 80s-90s music is the way, definitely.

@kiraieigh you deserve a high five 🙌
Depending the current task: when I need to have a huge focus, I listen to no-lyrics music. Sometimes jazz, mathrock, or movies soundtrack!
Night core works fine for me and couple of my teams mates also listen to it :)
I can't listen to anything with lyrics, it's too distracting. I like ambient and jazz but also Japanese drone / minimalist artists like Sawako (my fav) and Seki Takashi.
@cica_laure_mbappe I find them all on Bandcamp! And then the $ goes to them directly.

@kristinides sounds interesting! Will definitely check out those artists.
Depending on the task I am working on and my mood! However, prefer music without lyrics :)
I listen to 80s-90s music. Mostly goth bands from the 80s, sprinkled with some Grimes and Rico Nasty. MSI for those hard work days.
I love questions like these, where anyone can answer and it's a bit fun.
I don't listen to anything, but that's mostly because I'm worried I'm going to miss a notification sound or something haha. If I'm less anxious about it, then I'll put on some indie punk or a relaxing playlist from Spotify. If it's a really light day, then I might even put on a show I've been meaning to watch in the background.

Joe Satriani! His guitar effects and melodies are just awesome.
I listen to chill-out music.
