    Reminds me of Pixar's rules for writing: "Discount the First Idea That Comes to Mind. And the 2nd, and the 3rd and 4th and 5th. Get the Obvious Ones Out of the Way. Surprise Yourself."

    AI could give you 100 ideas, to eliminate obvious ideas to help you get to the novel ideas.

    Why would software need to increase resource usage to counteract hardware improvements?

    Shouldn't software be designed to be usable by as many users as possible and offer a range of performance options. Typically most general applications don't offer this, however gaming software do practice implementing performance options for this reason.

    After Google Music fell over for YouTube Music, Google gave me a small window to download all my songs I have purchased with them. However they didn't come with proper metadata, just the files with the song title.

    After having tinkered with Python over the past month, I put together a small script that goes through a folder of .mp3 files, search the title of the song and pull the artist and album information and write it as metadata.

    Spotify API has a limit of 100 requests every 30 seconds and Genius API only accounts for artist and lyrics.

    After messing around with those, I discovered YouTube Music API (which should've been where I started first) was able to pull from their search results.

    After running this through couple of songs, I noticed some songs had incorrect metadata. I had not accounted for other songs with the same name as the song title I had searched.

    I do not have a solution for this problem, I may just let it run and fix any anomalies manually.

    I had a quick go on my Pixel 6a using Chrome web browser. It ran very well, didn't have any performance issues. Very cute and reminds of screen mates that were popular in the early 2000s

    I recommend Notion.

    One of my favourite features is you can create pages as links in pages, which can be formatted into a list that can be hidden like a drop-down.

    Which can make it feel a bit like a maze, but to me feels like a natural way to organize your notes and information. You can always make a contents page, linking to all the specific parts you want.
