Composable functions must be as dumb as possible, like UI state renderers. Pass them only the state they need to render. Don’t inject dependencies on them, do that on ViewModels, resolve all the state before collecting. Make them easier to reuse, configure for previews, and to test.

Just so you know, I just tweeted this.

Welcome to Bollard World. A place where dreams come true. #WorldBollardAssociation

I rarely do predictions but this is an easy enough one to make: Big Tech will bring back onsite interviews for the final round of interviews, flying in candidates. When you pay top of market, AND do hybrid work, in the age of invisible AI helpers, remote interviews are a risk

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Really excited to be speaking at #KotlinConf25 in Copenhagen this May! Should, as always, be an amazing conference.

the greatest crime the world has ever committed is removing the ability to be bored. we are Notified, we are Pinged, we are Buzzed, but we may not contemplate quietly in that infinite plane of nothing. only when you can concentrate on nothing can you draw from the well of the infinite

“What do you mean you’re autistic? You’re so good with people.” Yea, I’ve spent my entire life studying people, trying to build the perfect mask to fit in. My personality is a patchwork of traits I’ve picked up from others, things I thought were cool, things that made me seem normal. I’m exhausted🫠

Wrong time was always a major source of app bugs. It was always referred to as gamers trying to find some angle like some daily bonus. Then a million bizarre bugs and failed network connections get logged in analytics.

chat, i cannot overstate the importance of having copies of your ID documents right now. scan, take pictures, somehow get digital versions of your ID documents and store them in a safe and secure place. (i use my @1password.bsky.social vault for this)

We're hiring a bunch of Android roles at Reddit right now - if we know eachother and you're interested or can vouch for someone who is please reach out and I'll refer redditinc.com/careers

I get sent so many reels to watch from my wife. I'm thinking there needs to be some sort of site that aggregates all reels and shows the you ones you'd be most interested in. Would save Tatjana a huge burden of daily effort filtering and forwarding these.

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

Learned about Composite Actions for GitHub today, and updated the AndroidAppTemplate to use a shared setup action! Now any duplicative steps like stubbing API secrets can be put into one spot instead of pasted into a bunch of files. github.com/AdamMc331/An...

We might have FINALLY met our match… #WorldBollardAssociation

Meta's chief Futurist hopes they can shrink this technology down to roughly the size of a box of chocolates, and connect it to your computer via USB for inputting text faster than the rate of speech. A limiting factor for voice assistants.

Google Play appeals support is useless. It's probably just a bot. The email even shows quote text colors since it's exactly the same as the first one... How can I provide the specific policy violation if that's all they say in the console....

Is there a term for a bug you investigate that you are pretty much the only person in the world with the right experience to catch. Hit one on Friday with a bug at the intersection of OkHttp, Android networking and lifecycles, Wear CredentialManager.

Looks like my days as a #GDE might be coming to an end soon! Won't really make a ton of difference....the dev community work I do now is same as I did before becoming a GDE and same as I'll do afterwards as well.

Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will tomorrow permanently disconnect from Russia’s power grid. Russia can no longer use energy as a tool of blackmail. This is a victory for freedom and European unity.

UI that isn't tested is UI that can break. There are Compose techniques for each part of testing - quick verification when iterating, and automating both visual tests and behavior tests. And coming in Compose 1.8, don't miss the new DeviceConfigurationOverride.WindowInsets for testing insets!

Musk: May I see? [asking to see the trillion-dollar bill] Mr. Powell: Oh ho ho ho, see with your eyes, not with your hands. Musk: Please, we are all amigos here. Mr. Powell: Now give it back. [after a few seconds of letting Musk hold the trillion-dollar bill] Musk: Give what back?

To the tune of "Tell 'em, be humble (hol' up) Sit down (hol' up, hol' up, lil') Be humble (hol' up)"

do you know how bad you have to be as president to make the Luka to Lakers thing the 2nd dumbest trade related news of the last 24hrs

I was told about how shitty is Upwork but I had to experience it myself... Besides the amount of unrealistic job posting, there are click bait postings that change their description afterwards... Great....
