We’re launching a cool feature globally for Premium users. It’s called Offline Backup, a custom playlist based on your own listening that automatically appears when you are offline (like when on a plane … or deep in a Swedish forest). That way, you never have to be caught without downloaded content on Spotify. Check out below for more details. I hope you like it!

It wasn't until I'd *taught* algorithms a few times that I finally understood why sorting is in the CS curriculum. Unfortunately, most curricula don't explain this! It is NOT because sorting is an important algorithm to learn to implement...
As a 41 year-old software developer do you know how many times I've had to manually implement QuickSort? Zero. Maybe we should test for more useful skills like taking a slow SQL query and optimizing it.

We’ve been testing out a new feature called "Your Offline Mix" - a playlist designed for those times when you might not be online ✈️ What do you think?

A reality that most devs working at large companies take time to appreciate: Personal connections tend to make things easier: the larger the company, the more so. The larger the company, the more noise every team has to cut through. These connections help cut through the noise.

What I wish more tech companies/scaleups big on A/B testing codified: Not everything needs to be an experiment. Experimenting has value add, but doing it too much has the team forget their vision, and people focus on experiment results over building something meaningful.

In a company with 100 employees, 10 will produce half the work. This is Price’s Law: 50% of the work is produced by the square root of the total employee base.

An interesting term I learned today: "borderless engineering." Referring to the practice that engineers can - and do- "float" to other teams to help out with work for as little as a few days, or up to a few months. Especially relevant unblocking large, org-wide projects.

On this day in 1938, Hitler annexes Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland. "It is the last territorial claim which I have to make in Europe," the Nazi leader assures the world.

Band members in Gothenburg are a fun-loving bunch who often wear animal onesies for their Friday get-togethers. So when we expanded the office in 2019, we wanted to create an environment that matched their playful spirit!

Oh look, my favorite app Spotify being slow! Also it’s 1 am meaning it’s the best time to do some performance profiling. Thread ⬇️
Replying to @geoffreylitt
Not to pick on Spotify in particular, but it's interesting how slow some "desktop apps" to do things like switch between playlists that are already loaded on my machine. Feels more like a "website" than an "app"
