Coders and code monkeys…. Do you code to music?

• I actually code in silence. Music distracts me. I know I'm going to be in the minority on this one...

• Trance, techno, classical. Basically any music without lyrics.

• I like anything without words that is a little mellow. Mainly to block out my coworker's voices though.

• either bach (piano) or chopin (nocturnes) work for me

• I always have the best intentions of putting on some music while I'm working, only to look up 3 hours later and realize that I forgot to press play

• I actually listen to some Swedish music, Swedish lyrics that is. But that's just when I'm stuck or writing somethings I've written a million times before. If it's a new problem I listen to the music until I get an idea of how to fix it and then I turn the music off until I'm done writing.

• "Irish" playlist on iTunes works pretty well for me! :D

• It depends. Usually I put headphone while coding.. for concentration. :)

• Daft Punk or System of a Down and staple code-music for me... I know the words, so I'm not being distracted by them... and I can't hear over the music - so not distracted by everyone else.

• I code in silence too, but my go to Music is on loop. Arrival of the Birds by The Cinematic Orchestra
