Always the fucking suits.
Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI

Please someone give me a decent non US alternative to this company.
Make transfer easy for a family group.

Deezer or Qobuz. Both are French.
And you can use Soundiiz to move your playlists.
bluemite@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve tried both and like Qobuz better because I can actually switch devices and it’s aware of what I was listening to on the other. Here’s an interview with someone from Qobuz talking about their service and music in general.

I dunno where Tidal is based out of so I’m gonna recommend Lidarr

US (Block owns the majority)

I would love to set the arrs up but I dont have the time or skill

Spottube will play your music, but still depends on spotify-free to generate them

Reads as: we here at Spotify are a bunch of naive and gullible halfwits who have diluted themselves into being proud of it.

Ah man, in my mind I was definitely thinking of some weird sci-fi experiment that has developers in jars with liquid…

So glad I dropped Spotify and moved to Deezer.

Spotify lies as naturally as it squeezes musicians.

My first thought for the title is thinking it’s because they fired their best/most expensive developer and kept the AI baby sitters.
sturmblast@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean… how much are you really changing at this point anyway?
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Spotify is a subscription radio station. I’m sure their development team is large and doing great secret, next-level things. /s

Thankfully I dumped this shit platform last year.

I bet they have developers not write, but I guarantee you that those are not their best devs…
jjlinux@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Lol, as if I needed another reason to stay away from them 🤣
Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Well, if you are a top developer, you don’t write lines of code. You leave this to your underlings.
On a building site, the architect is not laying bricks, either.
theherk@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Okay but your best masons are. Architects and developers are different.
dustyData@lemmy.world 2 months ago
In what I’ve seen, the best masons are on construction sites planning the work before hand. The inexperienced and newby masons mix mortar and carry bricks around. The top elder guys lead the prep work planing when and where stuff needs to be for what is being built. But once the machine starts mixing the cement all those guys do is lay bricks.
They don’t shovel, they don’t mix mortar, they don’t carry materials. Just laying brick after brick until they run out of materials or the construction is done. It’s quite mesmerizing to see a good contractor working efficiently, rare but fascinating.
Darkenfolk@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I wouldn’t trust an architect even with making mortar(or a sound building design to begin with), but I would expect a top developer to be able to code.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 months ago
To be able to code is what brings a developer to be on top. But from a certain point, you mostly herd junior programmers.

Prompt: On line 23, between the words fn and close, write close.
Bookmeat@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Vibe coding by experts can actually be effective. It’s the junior developers that really fuck it up.
EvenOdds@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Depends on what you call vibe coding. AI tools in the hands of experts can be effective, but definitely not fully hands off.
Kissaki@feddit.org 2 months ago
If it’s only vibe coding, going by vibe, being an expert makes no difference.
If you go for thorough reviews and corrections, supposed code generation efficiency gains are typically offset by review and correction effort.
madjo@piefed.social 2 months ago
It can give me a starting point, but I’d never use it for anything production worthy.
Doorbook@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This seems like a warning sign. If the dev are not innovating new system and algorithm that AI cannot produce then this product will not evolve !
banshee@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Why would anyone think this is a good thing? You’re actively telling the world that your product is likely full of bugs and hard to maintain.
jj4211@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Or even to true believers, they can just vibe code up just as good of an app.
It basically declares point blank that the technology does not matter, it’s their marketing and music rights only that matter.
