Google has an incredible walled garden of apps and things that 'just' work together seamlessly. I remember switching from FF to Chrome years ago as Chrome was measurably faster. The staying power was using Google's entire suite of apps with Chrome. Things like copying and pasting without formatting or searching for strings all contribute to stickiness.

Rather than promote coding (which is a good thing regardless) shouldn't we be promoting the mindset and how to approach problems as a programmer?
In the article they mention how robots drumming the perfect beat is off-putting, or less desirable to a listener. The current state of affairs in the dance music world is exactly opposite of that. Most songs are created using programs such as ableton, cubase, FL studio etc. As such you can create a 'perfect' song that will do well.
Obviously someone can't be so knowledgeable and altruistic without nefarious reasons. Gosh what do you think reddit users are, sheep?

Just finished my software engineering degree in August from R.I.T!
Wow, I had no idea about typeform before you comment. Awesome stuff there.
As a complete linux noob I chose debian/ubuntu to dual boot on my laptop as a sort of introduction into the wonderful world of linux. So far I've been blown away with how easy it is to accomplish certain tasks and how awesome the command line is compared to windows. I think in the future my next laptop will just be a thinkpad with ubuntu on it.
Full disclosure, I just graduated and really don't know anything of value yet BUT imho building things that are functional and working outside of your dev environment should have more of an influence on your job prospects than the stupid coding exercises.
Well that's not elitist or anything.

As a caveat, I just finished my software engineering degree in August!
I noticed this when I started sleeping with my back against a body pillow. I wonder if it has anything to do with wanting to sleep with pressure around our bodies?
Wow that just about sums me up right there. I can make friends with pretty much any one but as soon as they leave the day to day interactions I just don't make that effort. It's certainly something I've been working on as there's no shortage of ways that I can interact with people that move away or move to a different job.
Thank you jonnathanson, you helped out me out today.
This is a great idea and it's a shame that we've come to this point. I guess the current state of affairs with song copy rights and label groups will claim another start up. I've been using this site since 2011 and only hope for the best but damn if only they could have kept it open internationally.
