I didn't get past the wanky declaration that he listens to classical, listing out dozens of composers.

The term DJ is synonymous with modern, electronic music, anyway.

Me three. I thought it was an attempt at humor, but I got to the end and didn't find a punchline?

I learned Windows programming from his book, I'm sort of shocked he doesn't seem to have a base-level understanding of how transformer models work..

That, and instrumental music. Seems to believe the set of all music = pop songs + western civilization tradition classical music

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Or someone cueing up well-known pop/dance tunes at a wedding/disco. Last time I was at one they weren't generally firing up symphonies, string quartets then doing a deeper drop of a heavy hitting baroque banger to see the bodies hit the floor.

Yeah, that's where he lost me too. Strikes me as very pretentious.

He didn't even say "classical", he was circumspect with "that moste illustriouse of musical traditionnes".

Because most of that list isn't classical music

Yes it is. "Classical" without further context means any part of the tradition of Western art music with written score. Classical-era classical music is a subset of classical as a whole.

The entire thing is written in a curmudgeonly fashion, led by that massive list of musicians.

We get it, you like classical music and Spotify is a poor fit. That's... the article?

Glad I wasn't the only one. Love how he goes on to say how he's aware that people are unfamiliar with all those names he just dropped.

The Spotify AI DJ makes some pretty cool sets for me, but I listen to Hyperpop and Outrun type electronic music, stuff like that. A DJ spinning sets of classical music is pretty weird haha. I’d recommend just listening to the Classical New Releases playlist, which is excellent.
