If you're looking for background music for doing concentrated work like programming look for video game soundtracks. They're amazing!

My recent favorite in this realm is the soundtrack from slipways. It's a neat calm game and the music really adds to the atmosphere.

You can find the original soundtrack on YouTube, but I can also recommend checking out this bandcamp site for a better listening experience without ads. You can also pay the creator this way, which is a nice thing to do.

I was browsing the datasets subreddit when I stumbled upon this post. It turns out that some people actually take the time to scrape data so that they can sell these as bundles on Etsy.

I don't know to what extent this is a common practice, but it was the first time I ever saw it.

By the way, I'm not suggesting anyone actually pay for this. It's not clear what the source is so there's a good chance that this might be a scam. But it's the first time that I saw an etsy boutique for downloadable datasets.

This image is an inside-joke over at the office that I didn't want to forget about. Too many fun puns.
