In a past life I used to do mindless work that allowed me to listen to podcasts all day, but once I switched to being a programmer I quickly realized that I couldn’t work and listen to anything that demands your attention.
At first I tried rain noises and other forms of white noise but that gets old fast. Then I moved on to ambient music. I can’t listen to anything with pianos or guitars in it. There are guys I work with that listen to EDM all day, I don’t know how they consintrate with that blasting in their ears.
These days I’ve moved on to something new: Gregorian chant, because I don’t understand Latin I can tune it out and focus.
