My list sometimes I use this What do you listen When you code?

Read full post

For many years I've listened to techno/dubstep while programming. Now I mostly listen to retro video game soundtracks and remixes. I love 8-bit Arcade!

However, I always choose to work outside and listen to nature when it's nice out and the neighbors aren't mowing.

For light coding where focus doesn't matter I listen to podcasts.

For more concentrated work:

Code radio is awesome, classical is always great, mellow beats playlist on Spotify is great too, and some days nothing is better than good heavy metal!

I try listening to my surroundings. I like working in cafes/coffee shops/food courts/libraries. There's always something going on around to pay attention to when I need a break.
