What kind of music do technical folks usually listen to?
by•
I’m curious. Do you usually work with music on? Do you have go-to songs or playlists that help boost your energy and creativity while working?
Personally, I like starting my mornings with chill instrumental piano music to ease into the day. Later on, I switch to R&B, pop, or something more upbeat to keep the momentum going. Recently, I’ve been vibing with:
Love - Keyshia Cole
So Easy (To Fall in Love), Man I Need - Olivia Dean
Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush
End of Beginning - Djo
Moonwalkin’ - LNGSHOT
Damn right - JENNIE, Childish Gambino, Kali Uchis
Keshi’s playlists in general
What playlists or songs have you been listening to lately while working? Really curious to discover what everyone else is into

I usually keep it lyric-light while coding — lo-fi, ambient, or movie/game soundtracks. Hans Zimmer, lo-fi beats, and sometimes Tycho when I need focus without distraction.
Its not really music just instruments - On spotify, i have a playlist called Deepfocus
It plays really relaxing background instruments and it helps me focus

@oprincew Yeh you're right. Soft instrumental music always helps us focus better.
Definitely depends on the mood for me and the assignment itself
