@JorgeCastilloPr That progression shows deteriorating attention spans. What comes after an neverending loop of quick 10 second videos?

@cyrilmottier I would not say unarguably since I would argue that its complexity compared to sheredpreferences is not worth it.

It's annoying that Android Studio's "reader mode" can't render html links or markdown images. And on top of that it makes it extremely painful to copy paste those links.

I just wrote thousands of lines of javascript, a language I've only ever had passing acquaintance with. LLMs are changing the entire game.

Compose limitation #101:

Rotation doesn't work because it doesn't re-measure bounds after the rotation leading to bugs such as cropped rotated text: https://t.co/WxybjGWbik

@aritratech Honestly doesn't seem worth it. Typing maybe 20 fewer characters at the expense of a whole new language feature you have to remember.

The worst part of Kotlin Multiplatform is definitely Gradle. It's an incomprehensible failed paradigm.

@Zhuinden To understand google's releases you need to understand that google's employee promotion system incentivizes showboat releases over anything else. That means everything eventually is deprecated to make way for more releases.

Sure sqldelight will generate classes for you, but you want those classes to be serialized to json? No problem, just create another mapping. Map the mappings to the mappings of the mappings. Another identical data class never produced any bugs.

The linux distro idea is bad and holds back the whole ecosystem.

App store gatekeepers are an iffy idea in general, but to then tie the app store to each specific OS versions is disastrous.

@JorgeCastilloPr 100% agree. I like tests that go from the ViewModel to as close to the network as possible. Dagger's inflexibility makes it hard but it is doable to let it wire it up all the in-between layers.

@JimSproch If you want don't want the road, water, electricity, nor the community around it there are plenty of remote land plots with negligible property taxes..

Facebook is doing to Google with llama.cpp what Google did to Apple with Android. I don't think Google has what it takes to respond as Apple did.

@vergauwen_simon @JorgeCastilloPr Don't test functions, test features .

@sama selling half the company for a measly $10billion is an an epic blunder.

@csinco @camaelon Yikes. Not looking forward to losing all my muscle memory that I've built up over years of daily use of this tool.

@Android I wish those were real, I'd give one to my kid who's not old enough for a phone.

After many years of usage I'm not a fan of kotlin's extension functions. People create confusing bespoke DSLs with them and in general it hurts readibility.
