Music is my coding buddy

People do have a different kind of stress reliever when it comes to coding. Whenever I want to breathe and keep my head clear, I listen to music. It smooths my mood and aura to keep me going every day.

According to Dr. Masha Godkin, “Music activates both the left and right brain at the same time, and the activation of both hemispheres can maximize learning and improve memory.”

Somehow, it's like a magic wand that can help anyone to feel relax and good. As a programmer, you can rest for a while. Take a deep breath. Maybe a good 5 minutes so you can restart and find a new perspective. It really helps a lot. :)

I'm a fan of the following music genre:

  1. Rhythm and Blues
  2. EDM (Electronic Dance Music)
  3. Country Music
  4. Jazz
  5. OPM (Original Pilipino Music)

Let's wrap up things!

Whatever your profession is, music is something you can really depend on. Have it try sometimes, you'll see.

HAPPY CODING 🚀

I totally agree—music can be a game-changer when it comes to staying focused and clearing your mind while coding! 🎧 It’s amazing how it can help you reset and come back to your work with fresh perspective. It’s like a mini mental break that does wonders for productivity.

Your playlist is pretty diverse too! I can imagine how Rhythm and Blues and Jazz can help with focus, while EDM gets the energy going. I’m curious, do you have any favorite artists or specific tracks that help you stay in the zone when you're deep in coding?
