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.

🧠 3. Natural Sounds (White Noise):

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