I listen to albums, Spotify recommends tracks. Albumize expands playlists into full albums on a schedule — and taught me more than I expected about idempotency, ISO (International Organization for Standardization) week numbers, and why unattended automation is where the real bugs live.
My old streaming app died because I invented ideas faster than I could build them. So I rebuilt it — with Claude writing the overwhelming majority of the code and me acting as product owner and architect. 837 commits and 97 releases later, this is what I learned.
A handful of Slack workspaces, all showing whatever status I last bothered to type. So I built a Tauri app that watches the network and the calendar and sets it for me, per workspace — with Claude writing the Rust resolver, and me finding out which of Switchboard's old scars were worth reopening.
