we were happy and we didn’t know it

The fact that they changed the default library view from playlists to a random mix of playlist, artists, albums and podcasts without the option to choose just one category is baffling. I’m all for user options, but not by taking user choice away

One of the main reasons I still pay for Spotify is because it is very cheap in my country, specially when splitting a family plan. However I noticed that the user experience has gone downhill over the past years.

I remember when I could seamlessly switch playback devices, from my car to my phone, to my computer and them a Chromecast almost instantaneously. Now I’m lucky if my devices recognise each other even if they are on the same network.

And if you have a poor internet connection, the app is near unusable because it tries yo grab online content first before checking whatever is downloaded. Time and time again I have to put my phone on aeroplane mode just for the main menu to load, it is so frustrating and this didn’t happen some 5-6 years ago

I’m glad they’re back to in person events, their online stuff didn’t kept my interest over the past couple of years.

Looking forward to this event

I just reviewed a PR today and the code was… bad, like unusually bad for mycoworkers and left some comments.

Then my coworker said he used chatgpt without really thinking on what he was copypasting.
