I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
Sometimes I do. Other times I don't. I have no idea if there is anything in common with when I listen to music and when I don't. Probably random. There is a scene in "I want a dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown" where Rerun asks Snoopy how he decides whether or not to bark at someone. Snoopy responds by flipping a coin and then barking once (rare case when he isn't silent). That's how I decide whether or not to listen to music while programming.
Almost always. I don't code professionally, so nobody minds if I can't hear them because of my headphones :P
As for what I listen to, it often doesn't matter. I like to switch it up when it gets boring. Sometimes it's TheFatRat, sometimes songs from Fast and Furious, sometimes Spanish songs. Occasionally I'll listen to classical music.
Brazilian Fullstack Programmer. I think English is the language of the world, so this profile of mine aims to provide quality content in another language that is not my native language.
I'm a passionate Software Developer
I'm still learning about technology and leadership since I was 15 years old. I like to code valuable solutions and help people to learn and improve their skills
Most of all the time, buuuut i get disctracted with the music I love, so, to get focused on my tasks I listen some lo-fi playlist (like The Jazz Hop Cafe).
I like taking notes when learning something new and more complex and so I decided to write articles that help me to get better understanding of what I'm currently learning.

Admittedly, not a coder, but I do often listen to music while I work. I also share a post each week called Music Monday — here's a link to the series.
This week we're sharing our favorite cover songs if you wanna join in!

I have a hard time without. Though I have a hard time figuring out what works for me, so I change up genres often.
You're not the only :)

I can't code while listening to songs that have lyrics, so I listen almost everyday things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MJi7T4lX80&t=28183s&pp=ygUXbWVkaXRhdGUgbGlrZSBhIHdpdGNoZXI%3D

I like techno sets, if you find a good one you have music for a whole hour. Like this:

I Like Martin Garrix !
Coding and music are meant to complement each other!
That's the way it should be!
Well said
Usually, yes. Something familiar and light to block out the noise
I often listen to instrumental music, such as baroque, healing, ambient, and natural sounds, at a very low volume to help me focus.
I am the same way. Instrumental/ambient and very low volume helps me focus.
