We all constantly listen to various music: at work, at home, in transport, etc. Music affects our mood, performance and a bunch of other factors.
To programming as a type of activity with particularly strong brain stresses, you need a special musical background. Looking at myself, I noticed that I can’t concentrate if I listen to Russian-language music, because the words constantly fit into my thoughts.
There are no such problems with foreign music (since I do not have a strong knowledge of the language), but it is still distracting.
For myself, I found a project that plays in the style of ambient. Called Biosphere. I noticed that under these electronic overflows and noises, you can achieve excellent results, besides sometimes it all creates very interesting sensations for perception.
Probably this will not work for professional programmers, they have a bunch of their secrets. I would like to know if anyone would have a similar experience, and who prefers this kind of activity?
