Two things jumped out to me: 1) The extent to which how Spotify organized as teams completely affected the technical architecture and user experience. This is a situation where being deliberate about culture really matters! 2) Spotify feels very lead by engineering with design taking a back seat. You see this in the post by addressing the experience as more of a collection/list of features vs. a holistic experience.

Judging by its performance on Android, Spotify does not feel led by engineering at all. Then again judging by its UX, it cant be led by UX designers either.
