🎙️Check out the new @fragmentedpodcast.com episode on subagents!
They can be a huge unlock once you understand how it all works and you can get real benefits without having to a swarm them.
@kau.sh and I built an RTS mental model for how they work (yes, we did that). Check it out!
new episode is out! spot the easter 🥚?
recent models have shown massive improvement owing to clever use of "modes" and subagent dispatch. it really clicked for me after chatting with @iurysouza.dev
listen to improve your fundamentals! (not just tactics).
And our Mobile Progress Report provides an early look into how development on Android AND iOS (!) will take shape over the coming year.

Heads up it looks like Sonatype is starting to enforce stricter throttling on Maven Central.
If you see 429/403 errors from your runneres, you're not alone.

I've just added the latest version, but I'm planning to add the previous ones as well.

For that reason, I'm starting to track the versions in a Git repository to serve as a compatibility matrix until a better solution is available.
As I need to support IntelliJ IDEA in a project I work on, I always try to find what is the latest AGP version compatible with IntelliJ IDEA, but it is very difficult to find information about it.

Using the Default Hierarchy Template in KMP? You probably shouldn't 👀
It creates intermediate source sets you might not need — with real build cost. ⚠️
New article on the hidden costs and when to use a custom hierarchy instead 👇

Anyone wants to make a cool OSS contribution to the Kotlin ecosystem?
Integrate the Amper dependency resolver in Kotlin scripts and solve KT-42775, make scripting easier for everyone and learn about Gradle metadata at the same time.

I shared how I typicallyl debug my Gradle builds

I've upgraded to the last @androidstudio.bsky.social stable version and suddenly started to experience a few issues. The most annoying is the debugger randomly throwing Stack Overflow.
If you are experiencing the same, please consider voting for this issue: issuetracker.google.com/issues/45229...
Will it enable hot reload in other targets as well, or do we still need to add desktop as a target to have it?
I turned a leak investigation into a post on the Block eng blog to share a method that works well!
It's a bit long... I had to show how to encode code knowledge to automate leak investigations, and dig even deeper with YourKit Java Profiler.

Working on a plugin that provides real-time stability analysis for Jetpack Compose functions in Android Studio.
If you're a senior+ developer and your GitHub looks like this.... I assume you have some mixture of positive work life balance, a spouse and children, and hobbies outside of coding.
What I don't assume is anything about your ability to write great software.
Your GitHub history can look like this, and it’s ok. If you know you can do a job, apply. I've met so many great devs that weren't active on GitHub publicly. We need to understand that not everybody prioritizes side projects, for many reasons. And that does not invalidate them for the job, at

Open-sourced my Android-in-VS-Code experiment.
A Gradle plugin that generates workspace files for Kotlin LSP. Many things don't work, but some do 😅

There's no good reason why people distributing apps outside the Play Store should need to provide their personal data to Google.
This is just taking Android into the horrible world of dev accounts and notarization that Apple enforces.
While IntelliJ IDEA, and build projects, work fine, AS 2025.1.2 still marks it as experimental.
Am I missing something?
I was excited to upgrade a project I work to Kotlin 2.2.0 as it turns when-guards stable and I would be able to remove the annoying warning: "This build uses unsafe internal compiler arguments: --XXLanguage:+WhenGuards"
Android Studio: Nope.
