First talk on this side of the world! Come along and learn what I've been up to recently at Kotlin London 🛠 https://t.co/ry4DYLPWu8

[Jamie Sanson @jamiesanson]

@riggaroo Late to the party - I work on @SharesiesNZ! Our app is 100% Compose, with some really neat WebView and navigation tie-ins going on under the hood

Time for something a little different 👀

Interested in a different take on how to keep your platforms at the cutting edge? I've had a crack at writing my learnings from a year in a fresh codebase at @SharesiesNZ

@zsmb13 @AndroidDev Congrats Márton!

[Jamie Sanson @jamiesanson]

@hndmrsh A DIY mini-ITX would be my pick. Far more extensible than something ex-lease or a NUC, and upgradable in small increments if you want to beef it up down the line.

Up front cost is a bit higher, but the ability to upgrade storage and things easily would sway me!

[Jamie Sanson @jamiesanson]

While everyone is doing it, here was my (pretty full on) 2021:

1) Became an Android GDE
2) Helped kick off native mobile at @SharesiesNZ
3) Remote talks galore, and tested the waters of streaming! https://t.co/PNwHsUQINV

Bring on 2022 💪

@nicktmro How quickly can I tell if it does what it should? If it's within the hour and we can address issues within the day then sure. If its and app and I'm at the whim of Apple or Google then no thank you.

[Jamie Sanson @jamiesanson]

@mogest I hear the same call from Hataitai, and had the same birds blasting it out early morning and late evening all the way through to January last year 😩

[Jamie Sanson @jamiesanson]

@mogest Tūī do change their tune pretty frequently! By region, as well as my time of the year. Tūīs mate and lay eggs between September and January, so I'd assume this is a specific, mating oriented call.

[Android Developers @AndroidDev]

🔍🧐 Find Android developers in one place.

We created two Twitter lists featuring Android developers at Google and Android experts who are part of the @GoogleDevExpert program.

Head to our profile and give the lists a follow! → https://t.co/A6gvYbbMZM

@AdamMc331 I'm a bit of a Solarized Dark theme fan, which I use across most of my developer tools https://t.co/HB2cDKirEh

Just a couple of hours until our July Meetup on #Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile!

This is our first crack at streaming our speaker sessions - tune in and let me know how it goes https://t.co/eDCaNRFmFm

[Google Developer Groups @googledevgroups]

🔄 #Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile makes it easy for developers to share logic between iOS and Android apps!

#GDG Wellington is hosting a talk with @hndmrsh, who shares his experience integrating KMM into an app.

Don’t miss it → https://t.co/bgto52Diuq

[Jamie Sanson @jamiesanson]

Hey hey, it's meetup time! @hndmrsh is giving us a rundown of his experiences with Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile on Thursday evening. Come along/tune in! https://t.co/aNLp17F0Bu

[Jamie Sanson @jamiesanson]

Hey, I have some cool news to share! A couple of weeks ago I got to the end of the Google Developer Expert application process, and last week I got the email. I'm NZs first Android GDE! 🤖

@AthorNZ That being said, the API surface is large and there a lot of bits and pieces to consider compared to the stock-standard async/await in other languages. Being explicit about structured concurrency is compelling, but with that comes complexity.

[Jamie Sanson @jamiesanson]

@AthorNZ There's a learning curve to coroutines, but once you're past structured concurrency it does it's job well and, I think, is superior to Rx given the one-shot nature of suspend funs

Calling a suspend fun from a suspending context it's better than the more explicit async await imo
