I started with JS about 10 years ago and I fell in love with it (even though it can be weird 😅). I had step backs in my career that ended up being good. Currently I'm a passionate front-end developer.

It is hard to tell what I listen when I code, because I listen to a lot of music, but when I'm the mood I put some motivational upbeat music from my “Motivate Me” playlist, if you need some motivational songs:
Instrumental classical and jazz playlists from Google Play Music.
I also don't listen to my own music all the time - we have music playing in the office at low volume and I like the ambient noise. I tend to put my headphones on when I really need to concentrate hard for an extended period of time, or if I find myself getting distracted by what's going on around me.
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.

Gazelle Twin, Disasterpeace, Andy Stott, Headless Horseman, soundtracks that fall into the "weird electronica/ambient" category (e.g. Arrival, Mr. Robot, Stranger Things, We Know the Devil)—I figured out a while back that I do best working to music that's like... slightly jarring white noise that's minimally distracting but not too soothing.
Either that or really bright upbeat K-pop. I don't really have an in-between, ha ha.

Either soma.fm or /r/listentothis.
On soma.fm I usually listen to sf1033 at work, which is ambient electronic music mixed with public service (read: police) radio chatter.
