Yeah.

Anyone knows about similar resources for, say, the EU? Or it just varies too much by country here?

Very cool concept and PoC of both Spotify and vscode integration to learn from.

It has opened my mind to a bunch of cool things to do now that I know that the /v1/me/player/currently-playing API endpoint exists.

But I'm having enough trouble concentrating as it is, this seems like a terrible idea :D.

Maybe for the more chill vibe codng sessions...

Edit: Also, cool to learn about https://lrclib.net/, will come in handy if the music industry paradigm shifts and we need to yet again sail the high seas.

This is one of those things that are terrible, but not because the tool is terrible in itself, it's just that the world in which the tool operates is terrible, and the tool just a natural conclusion.

Any context on this? I see lots of recent works. Is this just an extension of the sci-hub concept to just everything?

I've wanted to self host but I've heard that there's high probability of getting blocked/marked as spam?

Anyone has tried self hosting the server but sending through a third party like Amazon SES?

My brain's reward system is shutting down.

This hits home quite clearly.

I'm just starting to think that coding won't ever be a fun thing anymore. Just another boring, mind-numbing thing I do for money.

I'll get a hobby I guess.

Yeah, when using AI assistants it often happens that I end up in a dull/low-energy/lethargic state.

Then it costs me a lot of energy to get back working on the problem and fix all the mistakes that the AI made.

It also frustrates me much more.

A hard bug used to be frustrating, but also a bit challenging.

Not anymore, really.

Maybe just me, but I have given up on flow state and my solution is to run 2 or 3 projects concurrently and switch between them. I use virtual desktops. work on one, give an assignment to my AI, switch to the next and cycle through them all day long.

I'm literally doing the same.

Feels wrong but it's the closest I got.

100%. It's truly infuriating, but going back to my normal workflow now feels somehow wasteful. Like I'm able to rely on a team of devs for busywork and just deciding to do it by hand and overcharge my clients (in time).

I've had a few instances where I've been able to go into flow state with 3 concurrent sessions on fully disjoint projects. Feels like context switching is easier when there's almost zero cognitive overlap between the projects in terms of actual features, but the stacks are all similar.

But for sure I haven't even come closer to these glorious flow sessions fully locked into coding some clever bit of logic.

So, here for the suggestions too.
