The thing nobody told me about playlists after 26 tries

I started this becuase my lunch break felt a little stuck and artists seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that teh smallest change was teh one I kept.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through teh part where playlists stopped feeling new

The vibe here is immaculate. The delightful part is easy to underestimate

The conclusion is too broad, but the example is interesting. The 4-minute rule is underrated

I wish more posts had this much context. The 2-minute rule is underrated

This is the kind of disagreement I like

This sounds sensible though I would need to test it myself. It sounds small, but the first draft matters
