Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I'm making a conference talk with the title "Bad Kotlin Advice". Dear #Android and #Kotlin community, you know what to do. Reply with the worst Kotlin code possible. :)

In Georgia it’s really starting to feel like the protest is gaining momentum. Today’s massive rally in Tbilisi has overwhelmed the police, and demonstrations are spreading nationwide. With Monday approaching, it’s hard to see state-run institutions operating as usual.

Reading Alexei Navalny’s Patriot, and suddenly I understand all the things that happened in Russia where I spent my early childhood and teenage years. I really hope this does not happen in the United States, my adopted country.

Android 16 already has a developer preview. Some of the stuff we've been working on is smaller, more frequent platform releases, usually we wouldn't release this thing until January, but look, it's already here! #android #androiddev

I just wrote "Demystifying Maestro’s UI Testing Implementation". It was a super interesting deep-dive. Check it out: handstandsam.com/2024/11/18/d...

What books is everyone reading? I will start: Foundling by Ann Leary www.goodreads.com/book/show/59...
