  • When you add an individual song or a playlist to your library it will not add the whole album to your library.

    If you’d like to add an entire album to your library then you have to manually add the album to your library.

    The quickest way to do that if you’ve got a song selected is to select the song in the player view, open up the menu and go to album. Once on the album page you can add it to your library.

    Or if you search for the song in the search page, you can long press an individual song or open the submenu and go to album where you can then add the whole album to your library.


  • Bad candidate experiences suck and Workday is the absolute worst.

    In my most recent round of job hunting about six months ago, I had a pretty decent rate of getting a screening call with a recruiter at the company. Maybe around a quarter of applications got me there.

    Despite my pretty decent odds of getting a call, it was never worth applying to a company with Workday.

    I don’t want to sign up to their shitty candidate portal with another set of login credentials I have to manage.

    I don’t want to repeat what I wrote on my CV, because their parsing is abysmal.

    I don’t want to have to use a desktop because it doesn’t because feel like working on mobile that day.

    I’ve had friends refer me for positions at the companies they work at. I’ve had talent acquisition reach out on LinkedIn, who’ve been professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the role and their company. But in both cases, if they ultimately needed me to create a profile in Workday I’ve told them I’m not interested.

    Given how good ATS’ have become about highlighting potential good fit candidates to recruiters - there is no reason candidates should have to input anything other than their CV, basic contact info / screening questions and a cover letter (depending on role). And it should all work smoothly using a mobile device.




  • I’d love to see an open, secure, universal rich messaging standard adopted by everyone but we know that’s not gonna happen.

    Carriers have literally no incentive to improve on SMS, I doubt they’ll lose any customers because of a lack of RCS adoption.

    Do I like the locked in nature of iMessage? Not really, but it’s honestly not that big of a deal here (UK).

    I just don’t like how Google talks about their proprietary messaging service as though it’s an industry standard. It’s not. Google RCS is not RCS.
