I’ve been watching ‘The Playlist’ on Netflix about Spotify’s history. What made it so hard to create a fast music player back then? Nowadays any kid can basically do it, so I’m wondering which building blocks now weren’t available back then?
A while ago here on HN someone shared a screencast of someone coding. This was an interactive browser-environment where you can see the code being typed, and copy-paste it.
There was someone presenting (webcam) in the bottom-right corner.
There was also a timeline so you could seek through the screencast. When seeking, the code displayed was synced to the video.
Simply put it was a combination of YouTube + VS Code.
