In this edition of Web News, we dive into our personal coding companions — from chill playlists and brain-boosting podcasts to TV shows that keep us motivated (or distracted 😅). Whether you're team lo-fi, true crime, or total silence, we've got takes. Plus, we explore how background content affects productivity and creativity.

Show Notes

Matt and Mike have wildly different approaches when it comes to getting into the coding groove. While one thrives in total silence and structured focus, the other embraces a more relaxed, ambient vibe—sometimes even with a show playing in the background. In this episode, they explore the balance between deep work, personal productivity styles, and the surprisingly strong opinions developers have about what belongs in their ears (or on their screens) while working.
