I wrapped up Android Maker by playing with letters on stage with @benkadel.com #AndroidMakers26 @droidcon.bsky.social @androidmakers.bsky.social

Technically I woke up to watch this today. @benkadel.com day started great

Yesterday we saw Paris from a boat and main star of the show was sun. ☀️ 🥁 The first fully sunny day of the year was great. Thank you for organising @mbonnin.net

I am watching Artemis mission and a wild Nutella Jar float around. Before that I wanted to do something awesome as space mission, now I just want Nutella 🍫 🌰 This mission has product placement ads 😄

Made an #AndroidDev Starter Pack! Please let me know if I missed anyone so I can connect with them as well 😁 go.bsky.app/Etd57t6

In the next version of AGP - R8 makes coroutines 2x faster

The life struggles hit again. The washing machine is broken. Now questions is Should I try to fix myself? Should I try to find a mechanic who won't scam me? Or go ahead buy a new one.. The issue seems like planned obsolescence to me as why is it difficult to access lint filter.

Great summary and hints. I am looking forward to listen most of those talks. Thank you for shortlisting my talk as well.

Today I’m open-sourcing Dejavu! Testing UI performance in Jetpack Compose is frustrating. We profile and watch tools, yet regressions still creep in. I built Dejavu to make recomposition behavior something you can actually test.

First one was great and really technically deep talk. I am looking forward to learn and got educated about tracing again.

I started writing a newsletter to keep up with what's going on on AI coding developments. This is the last week's issue recap 🧵. A new one comes out tomorrow. Subscribe! iurysouza.dev/newsletter/t...

Given this, calls for boycotting Square OSS are stupid. It's disrespectful to the hard work all these ex-Square engs have done. It won't hurt Square the company in any meaningful way, it just makes a bunch of your Android peers sad.

I scored 8/28 on jsdate.wtf and why does JavaScript feel like it is developed with random dice rolls.

When a feature is the name of the product, you know that product doesn't have that feature.

I will have lightning talk at @kotlinconf.com Munich. My talk is mainly about Compose and Frozen frames but the solution can be applied to any UI based framework. Games use this trick a lot. I am excited to be able share my learnings.

Every time I use git bisect, it makes me happy about how efficient the idea and tooling.

Google Meet show how late people will be based on meeting history

Latest android studio is freezing a lot. I reported issues with data but I started to understand why some people just prefer Vim over GPU accelerated Terminal. I cannot stand this slowness anymore. (I am not going to use vim, yet)

I turned a leak investigation into a post on the Block eng blog to share a method that works well! It's a bit long... I had to show how to encode code knowledge to automate leak investigations, and dig even deeper with YourKit Java Profiler. engineering.block.xyz/blog/the-lea... #AndroidDev

A little friend and I made a short video about my talk at droidcon London. 🥰 youtube.com/shorts/5TCfZ...

Today I finished 20 weeks running program. I didn't notice it is about be done since running became enjoyable habit. But Garmin software is such a miss. There was no reminder, nor before and after comparison, Jo progress dashboard, no pre race warm-up and a regular training on race day

I was able to use Logitech MX3s for only a couple of hours until my wrist hurt. I can see it has quality but the holding angle and size are not comfortable.

Who doesn't love doing git bisect before code freeze to find issues. But R8 makes things slow and prevents me to enjoy investigation.

Just released v1.1.0 of my fork of 'encrypted-shared-preferences' 🚨 This version introduces a breaking change for API 21/22 users due to Tink's latest version bumping the minSdk to 23 🚨 Check out the release notes for more info github.com/ed-george/en...

After several attempts, I finally managed to release Whetstone to Maven Central. New release depends on Anvil 2.6.0 and Kotlin 2.1. It includes proguard generation similar to dagger as well.

GEMINI just told me that it will POST A QUESTION on Stackoverflow. What a nice human behaviour.

I learned the hard way why I had to unplug the chest heart sensor from the band, because it can rust and corrode. Now I have to figure out how to clean up and will it even work.

This is my best use of stickers.

It's all taking shape! Gratatouille 0.1.0 now has classloader caching and powers `nmcp`. I've been dogfooding it in a couple of plugins lately and I like how the pieces are coming together 🧩 github.com/GradleUp/gra...

I am moving into our Customer App team in the company. I will work with the bigger Foundation and Infra team. It has been 3 years since I worked on a Customer facing app. I am excited.

A reminder that if you *need* on-going Encrypted Shared Prefs support, I have my own fork that is being maintained with dependency updates and bug-fixes I have just pushed v1.0.2 this afternoon 🚀 github.com/ed-george/en...

Have you ever watched a @sinasamaki.com video? They’re incredibly well-crafted, full of meaningful motion and creative ideas... and we’ll chat with the man himself this Wednesday to find out how they come together! Spoiler: it’s fascinating stuff that you’re very familiar with ;)

Everyone talks about Apple 30% cut on the app store but no one mentions how Mercedes sells a mini game package like sudoku, puzzle... for 8.9 Euro per Month.

Does Material Expressive mean the end of the Material You? Or is it just an extension? Tbh I am not a fan of the some movement animations in Android 16.

Happy to see the final version of the Nav3 library. I was lucky to be part of the testing group. It feels much better than older apis android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/05/anno...
