I had missed this. A must read!

Any company whose mission is to “to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity” would be ecstatic about a capable open source model like Deepseek released.

Any company which has a mission of making money off closed-source models would be devastated tho.

They don't want Puerto Rico as a state but want to bring in Canada?

I'm currently looking for a new fit remote, Android development contract role.

I have over 15 years of Android development experience, and bring lots of positive energy to the team.

Although I'm based in the UK, I'm set up to work for companies based anywhere.

I have immediate availability.

Macrobenchmarks can be the most efficient tool to measure Compose migrations to move forward confidently. We use them heavily at Disney for several things, including to ensure frame times stay good when migrating isolated components. Measuring scoped migrations under realistic context is priceless 🎄

Props to you all! I'm thoroughly enjoying the app!

Oh damn. I didn't know this was a react native app. As a historical (and still!) proponent of native app development, this app is a great representative for react native!

This is honestly one of the most annoying things. My wife and I complain about this regularly when trying to find our conversations in Photos. We love the app otherwise, but this is dumb.

I agree with this take. I honestly don't get it because from my perspective Twitter became much worse he took over.

Did you know that Queensland Australia conducted a systematic review of gender affirming care for trans youth and found it safe and effective? The NYT and other media did not cover it because it contradicted their narrative. It's called selective bias.

I met the Chosen One this weekend!

Happy Friday! Top #dev tip:

If you have any weekend plans you want to get out of, deploy to prod this afternoon 👍

Test smarter, not harder: new testing strategies documentation A significant update to our official documentation on testing strategies will help you create more robust apps across form factors.

📣 The testing documentation has received a major update! Opinionated testing strategies, screenshot testing, performance tests, flakiness, Robolectric and large screens! I published a summary here -> medium.com/androiddevel...

Three very helpful Bluesky add-on tools:

I also tend to think of accessibility the most when it comes to the importance of diversity when building teams. If you are not familiar with the experience, it may not be your first thought. The OG tweet has a great point: turn on TalkBack just to experience how often overlooked it is.

I couldn't agree more. Accessibility is one of those aspects of development that often get overlooked, but the impact it can have on improving people's experiences cannot be overstated.

Lack of bookmarks is my only issue. The user experience outside of that has been such an upgrade, tho. It's a breath of fresh air

It's easy to think every #dev should maintain a blog, contribute to open source and have multiple side projects on the go.

You can be passionate about tech without doing any of those things.

As a father, husband and full-timer, I barely have time to brush my teeth sometimes, let alone all that

It's been a while since I developed on an Amazon Tablet...I forgot how difficult it is.

Android 15 enables edge to edge by default for all apps. If you’ve not been taking care of insets properly you’ll need to do it now.
