Best Coding Music | 2023

Edinburgh-based .NET developer, Spindogs employee, GitKraken Ambassador, and Umbraco MVP Owain describes music as a useful way for developers to reduce stress, improve focus, and shape their working mood. He chooses different genres for different tasks, using musical theatre soundtracks to lift his spirits, familiar Megadeth albums for complex problems, and acid house or Ibiza-themed music for repetitive work, while also serving as his agency’s Friday playlist curator. The discussion recommends several types of coding audio, including instrumental, high-energy electronic, movie and game soundtracks, white or brown noise, and customizable ambient sounds such as café noise through Coffitivity. It concludes that music preferences are highly individual and encourages developers to explore playlists across streaming services to find the sounds that best support their concentration and workflow.
