I find the beat of music I listen to affects the speed I walk or jog at.

Perhaps editors can sync to the beat and get us coding sprints and marathons?

And perhaps what you listen to is a subtle hint that future AI tooling can use to adjust what it is recommending and the tone it takes?

Note that this doesn't use Spotify's own time synced lyrics, it pulls them from https://lrclib.net/

A small nit: They're not "Spotify's own time synced lyrics", they use a 3rd party (Musixmatch) to provide them in their UI. https://about.musixmatch.com/business/features

Very cool concept and PoC of both Spotify and vscode integration to learn from.

It has opened my mind to a bunch of cool things to do now that I know that the /v1/me/player/currently-playing API endpoint exists.

But I'm having enough trouble concentrating as it is, this seems like a terrible idea :D.

Maybe for the more chill vibe codng sessions...

Edit: Also, cool to learn about https://lrclib.net/, will come in handy if the music industry paradigm shifts and we need to yet again sail the high seas.
