    How Music Helps Me Code Better

    Music is my constant companion when I code. Whether it’s late-night assignments or experimenting with a new React project, I always have my headphones on. For me, music is more than entertainment—it’s a way to focus and stay creative.

    I usually listen to instrumental or lo-fi music while coding. It blocks distractions and helps me enter a state of flow. Sometimes, when I’m stuck on a problem, just taking a break with good music clears my mind and gives me fresh ideas.

    Music also inspires creativity. I once designed a small UI project while listening to classical Indian music, and it surprisingly influenced my design choices. Music connects emotions with creativity, making coding feel less like work and more like art.

    How AI Assistants Help in Coding Assignments

    When I first heard about AI coding assistants, I thought they might replace learning. But after using them, I realized they act more like mentors. For my M.Tech assignments, I often used AI to understand algorithms or debug errors. Instead of just giving me the final code, it explained where I was going wrong.

    One of my toughest projects was in Data Structures, and GitHub Copilot gave me code suggestions that saved me hours. The key, however, is not to copy blindly but to use AI as a helper. Asking “why” and “how” is what turns it into a learning experience.

    AI coding assistants are also great for experimenting. I used ChatGPT to generate a sample React component, and then I customized it for my project. It saved time and made me more confident about writing clean, structured code. For students, AI can truly enhance productivity when used wisely.
