tried to read the rules for const placement in C++ for 1000th time, ended up adding const after each symbol just in case

Casey Muratori pretty much sums up how I feel about LLMs for coding: "The AI will always be useless for me.

Some news to share - Today is my last day at Google. It's been almost 8 years now since I was offered what was basically my dream job at the time: reimagine Android's UI Toolkit. Working on Compose has been incredibly rewarding, and now it is time for what is next.

🚧 We are getting started with formatted text editing in TextField / Compose! 🚧 📋 I'm gathering all use cases, from the common to the complex. What are your daily needs for formatted text? Think mentions, hashtags, links, and simple styling. Reply with your requirements below! ⚒️

Compose 1.9 also introduces some tooling updates! There's experimental support for Composable stack traces when source information is present, and we are planning to support apps minified by R8 in the future releases

what's the hype about Effect.ts? I thought we figured out error handling / structured async like years ago at this point

😱

one of these days Gradle will implement parallel downloads and I won't have to wait 20 minutes after opening an empty Compose project

The most gratifying feeling is figuring out a bug after meditating on its stack trace for a week It is so magic to me how some things can just become clear by /thinking hard/

it's going to be fun time to recreate liquid glass in skia also the dark - light switching depending on background

it's somewhat interesting that it is immediately obvious in Compose for anyone who tried movableContentOf even once Introducing people to potential problems by creating primitives that fix them

Just remembered this absolute classic

hobby unlocked: placing pieces of Kotlin code into Kotlin explorer; writing the same code in C++ into compiler explorer with -O3; beating Kotlin code into submission until output matches

it's funny how 90% of compiler work is practically TDD it is genuinely easier to just write a test instead of going through decompiler hoops every time

Trying out Cursor, asking it to explain what format the function I wrote parses Cursor: gets the format right and then "oh, btw, there's a bug in that function, let me fix it for ya"

Me, after a couple hours of debugging: huh, it seems like the path just stops drawing after a 100 commands or so Me in the past, likely also debugging:

If you (like me) ever (erroneously) think that Java is not /that/ bad, here's a reminder:

I am so scarred by library development that every time I write any code I am thinking about public API and if I am breaking compatibility Pls help, I just want to hack a screen of an app

You know what Compose is missing...? Support for ::ComposableFunctionReferences ! I honestly have no idea how to implement them, but will try to figure it out tomorrow at twitch.tv/shikasd ~7pm GMT

Patting myself on the back for building CI/release pipeline for that one repo I never touch

I think I should restart my IDEs sometimes 🤔
