Thank you for the shout-out 🙏🏻

🔍 Debugging animation jank in Compose? 90% of devs miss THIS ADB trick (and it changes everything for your performance workflow) 👇 Use this command: `adb shell screenrecord --bugreport` It records your app WITH frame-timing overlays. It’s like a slow-mo referee for your UI. 🕵️‍♂️ #AndroidDev

Watching LLMs rewrite my classes for absolutely no reason 😑 #AndroidDev

Gotta take all the small wins you can possibly get to continue feeling motivated 😅 If you are a reader of the newsletter, consider showing some love 🙏🏻 www.reddit.com/r/androiddev... #AndroidDev

🚀 @shadcn.com but for Android?? That's possible now! Building a consistent and reusable component library in Jetpack Compose can be time-consuming. Enter Lumo UI—a powerful Gradle plugin that simplifies the process. #AndroidDev

Just shipped a redesigned version of the landing page for Dispatch, the Android/Compose newsletter that I write. I wanted to make a few things more obvious and build a bit more credibility which wasn't clear in the previous iteration of this landing page. #AndroidDev

1/n I've always believed that the ability to build things was an engineer’s greatest competitive advantage and the reason why they often topped the professional food chain. This won’t hold true much longer. Building will soon become completely commoditized.

Check this edition of the Dispatch newsletter by @vinaygaba.bsky.social I really enjoyed the thought provoking opinions and the jokes 😂 www.jetpackcompose.app/newsletter #AndroidDev #JetpackCompose

The latest edition of Dispatch goes out tomorrow morning PST. As always, the goal is to make sure you learn about one new thing and I believe I've kept that promise 12 times so far. Don't intend to change that tomorrow. Subscribe to read -https://www.jetpackcompose.app/newsletter #AndroidDev

Last month, I published a newsletter article asking this group a very important question about the future of Android. Turns out, it really resonated with the Android community and we are bringing it as one of the Keynote sessions at Droidcon NYC this year 🥳 See you in NYC in June! #AndroidDev

One thing that not enough people are talking about in the context of "vibe coding" is the importance of testing and establishing a test suite for your codebase. This is going to be important even for indie/solo makers who've never "wasted" any time focusing on testing.

If you use an Android device, I need you to read this.... #AndroidDev

Want to give your LLM full context from a GitHub repo without copying hundreds of files? Swap 'github' with 'gitingest' in the URL and you’ll get the entire repo as a single text! Perfect for open-source projects you can safely share. #AndroidDev

Was watching a YC video and based on the conversations I heard there, it's surprising to me how many decisions are made based on what is true today. It's already clear that things in AI are changing weekly. Don't lock yourself to any IDE, Model, Framework, Tool, etc just yet.

As part of a recent redesign of my site, I wanted to aggregate the public speaking I've done over the past decade. I've often questioned why I'm investing so much time into something I'm not paid to do. But like all good investments, these things compound over time 🚀 www.vinaygaba.me/talks/

I published some raw notes of one of the questions that @kau.sh asked me during the latest episode of @fragmentedpodcast.com These are some of my opinions that weren't covered by others in the interviews I published on my newsletter about the future of Android Development. #AndroidDev #AI

I had the honor of chatting with @kau.sh and sharing some predictions, hot takes, mental models and how I'm thinking about where to spend my time amid all the chaos. We anchor the conversation on the recent interview that I published in my newsletter with 10 other Android experts. #AndroidDev

There's nothing more addicting than watching a stream of people across planet Earth consume something you created. Doesn't matter if it makes even a dollar. Doesn't matter if it's an app, website, product, article or design It's why I build....

I recently wrote about something I call "Toddler Mindset"—a way of approaching decisions by asking what’s possible instead of what’s allowed. It’s a mental shift I'm forcing myself to learn after watching my daughter have zero regard for rules 😅 www.vinaygaba.me/writing/the-...

@kau.sh is a Principal Engineer at Instacart and co-founder of the beloved Fragmented Podcast. His views are shaped by talking to hundreds of Android Devs over the years. So when he talks, we listen.... Here's his take on the future.. jetpackcomposeapp.beehiiv.com/p/dispatch-i... #AndroidDev

I wrote some thoughts over the weekend about something I like to call "Pocket Revolutions" - a wonderful side effect of the internet that isn't discussed enough. You'll find the entire article here - www.vinaygaba.me/writing/pock...

@tysmith.me had some fantastic predictions. He has a front seat view at how engineering is changing in real time, given his influential role at Uber. You'll find his thoughts here - jetpackcomposeapp.beehiiv.com/p/dispatch-i... Not available in the main site yet so use this link in the meantime

I reached out to a few Android experts and asked them all an important question - "Where do you see Android Development in three years?" Here's a small snippet of what Gabriel had to say about how the Android dev ecosystem evolves. 👉🏻 jetpackcomposeapp.beehiiv.com/p/dispatch-i... #AndroidDev

@kau.sh made a prediction about mobile on-device AI in the recent edition of Dispatch. A couple days later, there's a video doing the rounds that validates some of what he was suggesting. Check out his mini-post for more context - #AndroidDev

I got to take part in @vinaygaba.bsky.social's newsletter this week, which was fun. There are a lot of interesting answers to the question "Where do you see Android development in 3 years?" jetpackcomposeapp.beehiiv.com/p/dispatch-i...

Alright, this is set to hit your inbox at 9am PST tomorrow! #AndroidDev

The latest issue of Dispatch is going to be special... I reached out to a few Android experts and asked them all an important question. They shared fun hot-takes, insights, wishes and predictions. I'll be sending the email this week. Subscribe now - www.jetpackcompose.app/newsletter #AndroidDev

After almost a decade, I decided to redesign my personal website and I'm at a point where I can share it. I expect this to always be a work-in-progress and I'm hopeful that it encourages me to share and document how my thoughts are evolving over time. www.vinaygaba.me #AndroidDev

I've always known that @buffer.com is an incredibly transparent company with most of the company metrics available in public. What I didn't realize was that they take it a step further and also publish the salary of every employee in the company 🤯

Thanks @vinaygaba.bsky.social for featuring me in your newsletter 🙏 I'm still looking for new opportunities, preferably in Europe (will need Visa support). In industry for 13+ years with 5+ unicorn startups with 100m+ users each. Have production experience with #JetpackCompose and #KMP #Kotlin

In the latest issue of my newsletter, I covered some cools facts about SQLite, the beloved database that runs on every Android device. As a reminder, Room also uses SQLite under the hood. You can find the entire issue here - www.jetpackcompose.app/newsletter/d... #AndroidDev

The latest issue of Dispatch, the Android focused newsletter that I've been writing just went out and I'm genuinely happy to see some of the reactions within the first 30 mins of publishing. You can find it here - www.jetpackcompose.app/newsletter/d... Let me know what you think 🙏🏻 #AndroidDev

Here's a fun fact that I recently learnt: The movie "Her" was set in the year 2025. We are shockingly close to that reality in around the same timeframe that the movie predicted. Wild! "Life imitates art far more than art imitates life"
