If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

For me music has the opposite effect. It help me focus by drowning out everything and everyone else.
And in my world nothing moves without the music.
My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

I am definitely in the No Music camp.
I read a study 20 years ago that associated listening to music with decreased task performance, particularly when the task required the creative centers of the brain.
If it gets too noisy in my work area, I have a pink noise loop I will play to drown out the distractions (without distracting me).
I will listen to music if I have to do a large batch of brain-dead, repetitive tasks.

I'm with you...my ideal coding environment is one where you could hear a pin drop.
That's partly why I have my beefy VM host with the loud fan in another room, and only have an Intel NUC on my desk to remote into my development VMs. It's not fanless, but the fan never comes on, given all it has to do is display remote desktop windows), and I never hear it.
(yes, I work from home)
If there's outside noise I can't control (ie, neighbors), I've been known to play white noise over a pair headphones to drown it out, although I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for extended periods of time.

My choice is Native American traditional such as The Dream Catcher, Pow Wow Radio or Native Voice One (KLND). I am not Native American, but I find the music calming while at the same time stimulating.

Nope, I have some in my mix. For me it's the rhythm. I can get some really fast typing done when I have the drums going in the background.

You might enjoy this then.

Steve Roach and some of the other ambient brotherhood did a series of these North, East , South , West Kiva. All damn good. Cant for the life of me find the others in the set

And NO, R&B is not Blues.

Thanks. The key of "A" is one of my favorites for playing guitar.
|
|
|
|
|
Key of G might be even better, although the key of A (5th fret) is the guitar's sweet spot IMHO
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, there are good spots for "G". Also like "C", and "E".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I know. But I like how the 9th chords sound up there when playing a little jazzy blues.
|
|

Jazzy blues; now your talking my language (Joe Pass, Wes, Barney, etc.)

Unfortunately for you, according to NPR this morning, the Blues is a dying genre. See David Brancaccio

Joe Bonamassa
Beth Hart
Walter Trout
Eric Clapton
Robin Trower
Keb' Mo'

Johnny Lang

I put it on where it is barely audible. I suppose the 1/4 note kick drum keeps me going.
Any louder and I begin to focus on the music and not the thing I'm working on at the time.

|
Same here, but the music I listen to is minimalist and ambient, which means I have something like white noise in the background. I guess it's like meditation.

Trance is amazing for long coding sessions.

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.
