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
