The app performance of Apple Music on MacOS and iOS is an abomination. It's consistently twice as slow as Spotify, from loading playlists to loading search results and playing a song. I would be ashamed if I worked on the Apple Music team. How can a person with any self respect go to work every day and be okay with Apple Music in it's current state?

there is probably some context missing, i always prefer to give the devs the benefit of the doubt. although i currently work at faang as a contractor and certainly the level of ability is not what you might think from the outside.

  You can have all of that and still produce good software.

The lack of attention to detail is palpable. But it's not just an Apple problem. It feels like the vast majority of software, you can open it up and fiddle around for a few minutes and find any number of poorly conceived UX choices not to mention straight up bugs / inconsistencies. I'm not talking "I could make this software better than they did" level stuff, just things that any reasonable person would admit don't make sense.

  Agreed. I often wonder if with agile we threw the baby out with the bath water(fall).

I feel the UI at least is better than Spotify. And you don’t have to suffer from podcast advertisement with Apple Music. In the end for all of these services you are exposed to the whims of their dev/management team. The only way around this problem is probably a regulation from the government to force services to offer a consistent unchanging api so that third party clients can be build and fix all of these problems.
