A couple of people in my old team have been around talking about how Spotify does music recommendations and put together some quite good presentations.
Febrary 6 was my last day at Spotify. In total I spent more than six years at Spotify and it was an amazing experience.
I joined Spotify in Stockholm in 2008, mainly because a bunch of friends from programming competitions had joined already. Their goal to change music consumption seemed ridiculous at that point, but six years later I think it’s safe to say they actually succeeded.
