The last 7 weeks, Spotify had 4 outages when publishing my podcast episodes (!!). After outage #3, I asked the Podcasts team to share how they are improving reliablity. They didn't share - and it just got worse. So I am no longer publishing video podcasts on Spotify, but redirect my audio RSS.

Ever struggled to get heading tags right in includes/components? headingoffset could be the answer…

slop is something that takes more human effort to consume than it took to produce. When my coworker sends me raw Gemini output he’s not expressing his freedom to create, he’s disrespecting the value of my time

@kotlinconf.com Why are you broadcasting the KotlinConf'24 talk in the live stream from today? Suddenly, QA of the last talk switched to this? Thx! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmwB...

In a blink of a second, Google IO is presenting a vibecoded Android app that "manually" parses JSON on the main thread. But ... since your company CEO can do that by themself, that's progress, isn't it?

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.

Today's comical MS Teams rendering issue:

I migrated to the Android Screenshot Plugin, and I suddenly miss the Kover's code coverage. Here's the fix: hrach.dev/posts/androi...

It's interesting how clearly Google vs Apple shows up in something as small as virtual devices frames. iOS simulator: sharp, natively rendered Android emulator: transparent PNG, rough corners with jagged edges

👀 Want to see a preview of what's coming up in #JetpackCompose? We heard you that debugging shared elements is tricky. In 1.11.0-alpha03, a new composable LookaheadAnimationVisualDebugging was added. Wrap your SharedTransitionLayout to add visual cues to track down those hard to debug issues. 🐛⤵️

I think we should aim for both. Modern hardware should reasonnably be able to create a graph with hundreds of thousands of nodes in milliseconds. Of course that doesn't work if there's IO in between but this is where we need Gradle strict mode.
