When I’m developing usually I listen 24h news channels in background, to keep myself informed about the world. Otherwise I listen my jazz bebop playlist: https

  That's interesting, I usually find people talking/singing in a language I even partially understand to be highly disruptive to my coding/writing work. It sort of short-circuits my language centers. I wonder if people locate developing into different brain centers?

    At the beginning was not easy, is like -for me- to listen a podcast in English and read text in Italian. You need to get a bit used to it, the important thing is that I don’t “listen/follow” really the news in Italian when I’m developing in English, I only keep it in background as “a companion voice”.
