      <description>&lt;p&gt;If I'm working, I'm coding and I'm probably listening to music and I wrote a lot of code this year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;208,562 minutes&lt;/em&gt; worth to be exact.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I probably listened to more than anyone that will read this article (if you beat me then shoot me a message and we can trade playlists).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Breakdown
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--t0oQCPR3--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/0z8vl9r83sjiucqyev51.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--t0oQCPR3--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/0z8vl9r83sjiucqyev51.png" alt="Spotify Wrapped Listening Minutes"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;208,562 min = 3,476 hours = 145 days = 0.4 years&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I listened to music for &lt;em&gt;40%&lt;/em&gt; of the entire year in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;About half of those minutes translated to&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;open-source code at &lt;a href="https://github.com/charrismatic"&gt;gh/charrismatic&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a handful of fun projects on &lt;a href="https://www.npmjs.com/~matt.harris"&gt;npmjs/~matt.harris&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;*my resume builder&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;some random attempts to figure out what to do with 
&lt;a href="https://glitch.com/@charrismatic/music-and-data"&gt;glitch.com/@charrismatic/music-and-data&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The rest is out there in the wild for you to find on your own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Linking my commit history with the Spotify listening data sounds like a cool project &lt;strong&gt;(just in case you're listening &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?keywords=github"&gt;#jobs@github&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--381DpNHP--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/6y17z52zi6az1l41i9gn.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--381DpNHP--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/6y17z52zi6az1l41i9gn.jpg" alt="Music Genres"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hip hop is my top genre but I still got the funk&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--yjzB3Jh0--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/m0ey0wj07av63q3kguda.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--yjzB3Jh0--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/m0ey0wj07av63q3kguda.png" alt="Spotify 2019 Countries"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I listened to music from 88 Countries, discovered 2,317 new artists, and played 13,228 unique tracks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I listened to music from 88 Countries&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2019 was a big Wu-Tang year, that probably has something to do with their new show coming out earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;

  2010-2020 A Decade of Music
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I signed up for Spotify in 2011 so there is almost a full decade's worth of data collected about my music listening habits 😲😲😲&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--xaE7IzhL--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/fmitae2qdtct389istgh.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--xaE7IzhL--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/fmitae2qdtct389istgh.jpg" alt="2010-2020 A Decade of Music&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;
