> it was a skill issue on the part of the Spotify engineers writing the internal system prompt for their slop DJ
Spotify are currently making a big deal about not writing any code - I attended a webinar this week where one of the slides proudly trumpeted this fact:
“ 0 lines of code
Spotify's best engineers have not written a line of code since December.”
December? I would have guessed it’s been longer than that.
A full decade since spotify wrapped was released and we still have the grand unified … menu with a seemingly randomized list of actions that takes hundreds of milliseconds to load depending on network conditions. And buggy jams that desync constantly. And it’s way too easy to accidentally clear the entire queue. I could go on, wonder what the hundreds of PMs are doing?
Bunch of clowns coasting on their moat instead of building an actually good product.
