Somewhat opposite experience for me. I can’t listen to anything with words while coding. TV, podcasts, songs with lyrics all torpedo my ability to parse code. Instrumental music especially with a strong beat seems to help though.
Same. I play some 90s Goa trance on my headphones if I really want to get stuff done, but anything with lyrics completely throws me off.
I've noticed that I make more errors while listening to any kind of music. But, upon further reflection, it's probably because I tend to listen to music when I'm in the flow, writing large amounts of code.
I’ve had the same experience. I’ve talked to my coworkers about this before and it seems like we all have different experiences in that regard.
I'm reading this while listening to music.
I constantly read and program with music including lyrics. Music tracks I don't know would probably be harder.
