you've listed eight different software doodads I'd need to accomplish what my one Spotify app that gives me access to everything I need for $15 does.

Why I stay:

1. family plan that I run. my parents and siblings all use it.

2. social. Sharing playlists matters to me, and everyone else uses spotify. This is also important in my romantic pursuits.

3. It has 10+ years of my listening history; the recommendations are decent, and my playlists go that far back.

4. whatever UI issues it has (and I can name a few off the top of my head), I don't find it difficult to use at all, and I'm used to its quirks.

I definitely enjoy Wrapped. But also something that keeps me in Spotify is the social aspect. If I want to make a playlist for someone, 95% of people I know use Spotify, so I need to have Spotify.

Why do you think you need to take action on how other people raise their children?

this is counterbalanced by somewhat talented products of nepotism getting in, like Stella Lefty

Who the hell uses GitHub socially?

Using LLMs for prose that matters is already a perversion of writing.

Robert Martin, the author of Clean Code, is a caustic dick defending a book full of spurious commandments. I don't put any stock in his takes.

> I break about 1 USB-C plug a week.

That's a you problem. I have never done this, and neither have any of the dozen people I just asked in my office.
