  1. What would Steve Jobs think?

  13. Ask HN: How does Spotify select songs for auto generated playlists?

    I was recently looking at the "Viral 50 - Ukraine" playlist automatically generated by Spotify. I'm wondering how the algorithm works to generate such a playlist. Because it seems like it's possibly gamed for various…

  23. Ask HN: What has to change? I'm sick of it

    4 days ago(a Saturday!), I received a completely cold email from a Chewy.com recruiter telling me "we're seeking passionate and driven engineers to join..." As far as I know I've never expressed any interest or given…

    So it's that time of the month again and I'm generating a whole new set of personal access tokens for all of my dev machines. Every time I get to this page(https://imgur.com/a/V9gGI0y) I just feel a sense of dread. It…
