Bullshit

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Look at the feature list bragged about. It's really simple stuff. I can absolutely believe they vibe coded that stuff.

The "hardest" one was to feed listener history to an LLM and have it generate a playlist based on the titles. That's such an absurdly trivial thing to do.

It's not rocket science. It's a trivial streaming music player.

This is spotify. It's just a music player. The overwhelming bulk of the code was probably written like 20 years ago by a 15 year old.
