I was having a conversation with someone about this yesterday. I actually have two different modes when programming: Theres times when you're just trying to get a bunch of shit done and there it's mostly about getting you amped up and to stop you from getting stuck on trivial shit, and there's times when you have to think about something in super super detail and then distraction is a killer. And I have different music for each.

For the former, I have stuff like this:

and

https://play.spotify.com/user/infralite/playlist/1SpbGdZGmno...

For the latter, I go for quiet personally, or turn the volume way down and put on something chill that I know really well. When it's familiar my mind doesn't get stuck on the music too much. I like Ephemeris from H.U.V.A Network, or some Boards of Canada or some Darkjazz (like Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble or Bohren & Der Club of Gore).

Also, counterintuitively, there is a lot of metal that goes well with this too. Here is one example:

I love music suggestions so feel free to reply with some!
