<p>pro tip: do not try this on a microwave you want to keep. if you are successful you will likely cause a fire in your microwave. (it is fun, though).</p>

<p>My problem: I close my rings on Apple Watch, check my readiness score on Oura, see my HRV trends... and then what? All this data without clear guidance on what actions to take.<p>For HN users with health wearables (Apple Watch, Oura, Whoop, Garmin, Withings etc.):<p>1. What frustrates you most about your current health tracking experience?<p>2. What would make your wearable data actually useful for improving health outcomes?<p>3. Do you use any tools/services that successfully bridge this gap?<p>For some more background: longtime founder & HN user. I'm exploring this space with my cofounder @smock after selling our previous startup to Spotify and getting a little more time to focus on my health. Still early on the journey but loving it so far.<p>Thanks in advance for any and all help!</p>

<p>As a counterpoint, this essay resonated with me very deeply, and I earn a low salary for an engineer in NYC.<p>We do fine as a family and have to make compromises I couldn’t have imagined making prior to having kids, but it’s totally worth it.<p>This type of experience isn’t universal but doesn’t require massive wealth.</p>

<p>This is a _really_ good point! I'm trying to find some data on this right now...  might have to dig through e.g. Apple's previous phone releases to see trends over time.</p>

<p>Never heard of it, but looks interesting - thanks for sharing. I probably should've been more clear that after decades of curating my MP3 collection, I've moved towards streaming and rarely dig deep into my library for the ripped tracks that aren't available to stream.</p>

<p>I agree that I should've framed my post better and I appreciate that feedback.<p>I do understand that iTunes is dealing with a long history of development, and that it has to support lots of use cases that probably explain a lot of the rough edges — I even allude to that in my post.<p>It's amazing that I can still use my decade-old iPod Shuffle with iTunes at all -- that must be a lot of work. But so much has changed since then, and iTunes as an Apple Music client is a genuinely frustrating experience.<p>I don't expect software to be perfect. But I want iTunes to be better than it is. I'm paying $10/mo for Apple Music, which actually has an <i>incredible</i> library and editorial playlists... they're just nearly impossible to find.<p>I'd love to have an amazing Apple Music experience that doesn't <i>also</i> need to manage podcasts, TV shows, audiobooks, and almost 2 decades of music players.</p>

<p>Thanks for the counterpoint, I appreciate it. FWIW I've generally stuck with it since 2003, but I've been more and more frustrated with it recently.</p>
