Every time I see a post like this I go ask a developer I know at that company if it's true and every single time it's misleading at best, if not outright horse shit. techcrunch.com/2026/02/12/spo...

I love a good bug hunt. What a doozy. allenpike.com/2026/a-broke...

my brain every 5 seconds: "titi me pregunto"

I turned the essay into a blog post: "No. You can't tell it was written by AI" segunfamisa.com/posts/no-you...

Whew. I just typed a 450-word essay on my phone, in reply to someone saying they're adding "this resonates" to their list of "LLM tells"

today, I am grateful for the privilege and opportunity to travel the world and experience other cultures in first-person.

@heron.tunji.dev is my fave social media app rn.

I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but: One day, you will get an idea to parse HTML/XML/Markdown with regex. It is really important that you read this stackoverflow classic and quickly decide against it. https://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454

Contacts ... Contacts if they slayed

I've been using startpage for about a month and half now. The revenue from my Google Ads ID must have gone down 😄😄

this is some good news from the @mozilla.org front. 👏 they listened to user feedback and added a specific feature. more of this please! blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/a...

this whole AI prompting business is boiling down to writing good and clear requirements, technical specs, and system design, before coding starts. the same that people have struggled to convince teams to adopt as a way of working

i think I'm managing to deceive people into thinking I speak fluent Portuguese 😂

we don't want or need PayPal. we're good, thanks 😂

lmao. after years of PayPal shutting Nigeria out of the global economy, we ended up developing our own fintech solutions that are now very mature. and now they want in??? they need to wrap their business like a ball and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

I have a series of hot takes about America's foreign policy and the sudden awareness (non-flattering) of other Western people and policy makers.

damn. I love compose. it's incredible how easy it makes ui work

PSA: Starting Android Gradle Plugin 9.0 (or the latest stable version of R8): R8 will automatically optimize all Intrinsics.check* APIs in Kotlin automatically ! This should greatly help improve app performance (especially Compose given the large Kotlin library API surface).

🚇 Metro 0.10.0 is out! - @Inject is now optional for most @Contributes* annotations! - KMP Milestone: FIR hint/top-level function gen enabled by default in 2.3.20+! - Perf: Sharding and switching providers support - Lazy maps - LOTs of fixes and improvements github.com/ZacSweers/me...

I think I finally get why developers get excited over fonts 😂

👀 Want to see a preview of what's coming up in #JetpackCompose? We heard you that debugging shared elements is tricky. In 1.11.0-alpha03, a new composable LookaheadAnimationVisualDebugging was added. Wrap your SharedTransitionLayout to add visual cues to track down those hard to debug issues. 🐛⤵️

I *despise* people using AI to write announcements at work. If you can't be bothered to write it, why should I bother reading it?

Compose Hot Reload is now stable and bundled with Compose Multiplatform since v.1.10.0! 🎉 This deep dive by @sellmair.dev and Azat Abdullin walks through the engineering behind Compose Hot Reload and how it works under the hood. For the curious among you 👀 https://kotl.in/hotreload100

Been a Fragmented listener since before I got my first dev job. Surreal to now be joining @kau.sh as co-host for this new Al focused season! Looking forward to getting into the ins and outs of Al coding! What actually works, what doesn't, and how to think about all of it. Let's do this! 🎙️🤘

ouuu. I can now receive notifications on @heron.tunji.dev 🎉🕺🏾

I explored TextMeasurer and TextLayoutResult APIs in compose and wrote about it https://segunfamisa.com/posts/exploring-custom-text-rendering-in-compose

how can I see less and less of united states politics?? i don't want to see any of their nonsense anymore.

If your engineering team is 'senior-only' + AI-assisted… where do tomorrow's seniors come from? New blog post on the 'disappearing middle': chrisbanes.me/posts/disapp...

Do iOS devs accept the state of Xcode as normal or do they also think the IDE leaves much to be desired??

I recently migrated our codebase away from Ktlint to Ktfmt and Detekt. I summarized the reasons and migration steps in a blog post: engineering.block.xyz/blog/adoptin...

Markdown links are always a gamble for me. I never know if it's [markdown](markdown) or (markdown)[markdown] I usually get it right a lot (muscle memory) but I can't tell for sure that I know the right syntax.

I love the new Jetbrains Islands theme and wanted it in my terminal. Here is is if you want it too! github.com/himattm/iter...

I think I'm at capacity for water bottles 🫠

My publisher notified me of another sale on my Androids audiobook: 50% off, so it's just $10. The promotion runs through January 26th. (If you already have it / listened to it / read it: thanks! I hope you enjoyed it!) www.audiobooks.com/promotions/p...

We released Developer Preview 3 of the #AndroidXR SDK, opening augmented experiences development for Al Glasses. To help you build for Display Al Glasses, we are releasing Jetpack Compose Glimmer, our new design language and UI Toolkit for augmented experiences.

#JetpackCompose executes your code in different phases, which causes some parts of the @Composable function to be executed separately from each other. Crashes in these phases can result in stack traces that are hard to decipher, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact line of code that crashed 💥

The latest version of Heron bumps Jetpack Compose to 1.10 and to Navigation 3's stable release so the animations and transitions are more polished than ever

Another new feature in Compose 1.10 is the new: Modifier.scrollableArea() 📜 Think of it like this: Modifier.scrollable() tells you how the pointer moved, while Modifier.scrollableArea() translates that pointer movement into how the content should move within a typical scrollable view.

During Google I/O 2025 we also talked about low effort and high impact app performance improvements. And now you can watch the recording.

Ever wanted to try out Jetpack Palette for extracting colors from images? I built a web demo: saket.github.io/palette-demo/

Jetpack Navigation 3 is stable! 🎉🎉🎉 Leaning into Jetpack Compose and the idea of combining smaller building blocks together really helped make Nav3 a much more flexible library that made it a joy to work on and hopefully for you to use as well! android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/11/jetp...

Run this and let me know the output: `grep "dontoptimize" app/build/outputs/mapping/release/configuration.txt` In case it's not empty, you definitely should watch this youtu.be/QqO2jZ-NZko?...

Performance Spotlight Week is done and dusted. Check out everything we talked about in the closing blog post. android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/11/full...

So you enabled R8. Now is a good time to catch up on Keep Rules. @ajeshr.bsky.social talks you through configuration and troubleshooting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0I6...

To improve AndroidX release binary transparency we have made all of our release branches visible to the world. E.g. collections: ci.android.com/builds/branc... What that means is now you can go from a released version of a library to an exact buildId and the source tree state for that release.

The new Islands theme from @intellijidea.com has landed in latest @androidstudio.bsky.social canaries! Try it out and leave us your feedback either here or on the issue tracker 🫶

still don't know what a thermosiphon (from the dagger docs of yesteryears) is and i refuse to look it up 🤣
