Abstract:
Listening to music is a common phenomenon among software developers in today's work environments. Music can reduce stress, improve happiness, and even increase performance. We conducted two surveys with 2,242 professional software developers and found that between 63 and 88.2% of participants listen to music at work at least some of the time often when writing code or doing repetitive tasks, and that these listeners tend to be more extroverted.
