What’s the Best Thing to Listen to While Programming?

I've been programming for years, but I’ve never truly enjoyed the work I do. Sometimes, it feels like a cloud of depression is hanging over me. I wonder if programming was forced upon me or if I chose it myself.

Back in high school, I was passionate about computers—installing software, troubleshooting, and the like. So, when I found out about the Faculty of Computer Science, I enrolled right away. But then reality hit me—programming was hard, or maybe it was just the college experience that was tough. I kept failing subjects, but strangely enough, I never failed programming languages except for C++. That was only because the professor was arrogant and unapproachable.

Anyway, I got off-topic. What’s the best thing to listen to while programming?

If we think about it logically, calming music that helps you focus and relax might be the perfect choice. But I believe experts might have a different opinion.

🎧 1. Music to Boost Focus:

  • Lo-Fi Beats: Relaxing and soothing music that’s great for concentration, like Lo-Fi Hip Hop.

  • Instrumental & Ambient Music: Wordless music such as albums by Hans Zimmer or Brian Eno.

  • Binaural Beats: Sounds designed to enhance focus and productivity.


🎙️ 2. Podcasts & Audiobooks:

  • Self-Development & Productivity Audiobooks: Like Atomic Habits by James Clear.

  • Programming & Tech Podcasts:

    • Syntax: Covers JavaScript and general development.

    • Darknet Diaries: Cybersecurity and hacking stories.

    • Developer Tea: Short tips for programming and career advice.


🧠 3. Natural Sounds (White Noise):

  • The sound of rain, ocean waves, or a forest.

  • Café Ambience for those who enjoy the vibe of working in public spaces.


📖 4. Audio Programming Courses:

  • Listen to programming courses and new technologies while handling routine tasks.

  • If you’re working on a specific project, find lessons that match your current tech stack.
