During the work week, I tend to listen to a Spotify playlist while I work.
Somedays, I feel like it's a missed opportunity.
Why not listening to a tutorial or something related to the dev skills I am trying to learn in my free time?
What do you all listen to while you work. Music, technical tutorials, podcast or something else?

Almost 100% music . with a strong emphasis on Progressive Trance and House (Above and Beyond, Yotto, OliverSmith, Seven Lions, Andrew Bayer, Jason Ross, etc). I like hip-hop every now and then too, been going through a bit of a sadboi phase involving way too much Lil Peep.
I can't stand tutorials or video content...they don't hold my attention or move fast enough.
I tend to fall into listening to lo-fi either on Spotify or Youtube. Something about instrumental beats in my ear while working keeps me focused and productive. Here's the Spotify playlist open.spotify.com/user/spotify/play...
I have a podcast I host, which you can find here (if interested, no pressure): elevatdlife.com
I second the lofi beats, this is my favorite channel: youtube.com/watch?v=hHW1oY26kxQ
I posted some podcasts I like at dev.to/politedev/music-vs-podcasts...
And sometimes I listen to audiobooks if I'm doing something that doesn't require a ton of attention.
I could not concentrate on my actual work if I was listening to a tutorial or podcast in the background. I find I have to focus on one thing at a time, so I tend to listen to Spotify myself.
Recently, I've been listening to Japanese (& other) Lofi Hip Hop Beats a lot when coding.
This one's good
I've got to listen to music. Usually local FM radio or my iPod.
