Hey! I've noticed that in this post you use "guys" as a reference to the entire community, which is not made up of only guys but a variety of community members.

I'm running an experiment and hope you'll participate. Would you consider changing "guys" to a more inclusive term? If you're open to that, please let me know when you've changed it and I'll delete this comment.

For more information and some alternate suggestions, see dev.to/seankilleen/a-quick-experim....

Thanks for considering!

Time for this topic again?

I listen to music I like depending on my mood although it's usually guitar oriented, usually in the alternative realm. This week I mostly listened to Johnny Marr, Sarah Shook, Starcrawler, Larkin Poe, Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile and Janiva Magness.

I tend to get really distracted by music so I don't listen to a ton during work, but my two favorite stations on Google Play Music are:

I like instrumental and electronic music, usually quiet and slow, while I'm doing tasks that involve brain sweat

Digitally Imported channels are my default go-to whether building, debugging or absorbing:

  • Liquid DnB, Melodic Progressive = energy to straight-up write code, build and achieve flow.

  • Atmospheric Breaks = distract from a noisy office to remain productive.

  • Deep Nu Disco, Indie Dance = mid-energy, general purpose work tunes.

  • Downtempo Lounge, Chillout Dreams = slower paced, deliberate thought tasks like planning, troubleshooting, documentation, etc.

  • Ambient, Space Dreams = reading and comprehension.

Mostly (all sorts of) Metal, Synthwave and Jazz for me, which is really just my usual music. I don't have a specific style of music or playlists for when I code, although I prefer something with high BPM when I work (more stimulating).

Right now I'm listening to Tokyo Rose.

Spotify's daily mixes are my go to when I lack inspiration though.
