Had a convo with a top Spotify developer getting paid really well. He was, I thought, incredibly arrogant, he talked about Spotify as if was OpenAI or something.
He was open in discussing how they only want the best candidates and how hard their interviewing process is, he explained that is why they are so successful.
I pointed out that Spotify is losing money at an unsustainable rate. The whole thing to me was comical. Spotify exists in a space that is a complete commodity at this point. I switched to YT music recently (because I didn't want to see ads) and to me YT music is as good or better.
Spotify had a sort of first mover advantage but drastically over hired like Twitter and everyone else did. I guess we'll see if they can get to profitability.
