Fuck. You. Instagram/Meta. Niki and I hand-drew over REAL pictures. I spent HOURS working on graphics in After Effects doing mattes, pixel pushing, and adjusting music MYSELF. This wasn't even fucking enhanced. Apparently, the only mistake I made was using your platform to publish it. #FuckAI

That's easier than it sounds. It's easier for them to deflect direct questions asking them to take responsibility. But it's much harder to deflect laughter. When there are enough jokes going on then they have to stay taking responsibility if they want to get re-elected. Clowns don't win elections.

I've used Metro, and it's better than anything else, imo. It not only speeds up your builds, but makes DI easier, and also provides simpler upgrade paths if you're transitioning from other common DI frameworks. Huge thanks to @zacsweers.dev

Metro is so good! If you haven't tried yet, I strongly suggest you to!! I wish IntelliJ allowed non-bundled K2 compiler plugins to contribute their FIR checkers to the IDE so we could see diagnostics in real-time. Perhaps a Metro IntelliJ plugin could bridge the gap until then

The whole appeal of AI development to many companies is that senior management wants to ask a simple question to deliver what they want without having to answer lots of stupid questions from developers. AI may deliver exactly what they ask for, but not what they want.

Am I weird? (yes, probably) But whenever I see the brand "Huel" it triggers an onomatopoeia of someone vomiting.

@bidetofevil.wtf It's nice to see a fellow Hornet on here. While the second half of the season was disappointing, I didn't think that sacking Clevs was the right thing to do. He didn't get the financial backing he needed in the January transfer window, and that's why performances dropped, imo.

I'm currently looking for a new fully remote, contract role. I have 15 years of Android experience, and plenty more Kotlin, Java , C / C++, and even more obscure stuff

Thank you Marc, I thoroughly enjoyed waiting with you. I share your hope to work together again.

Thank you Huyen, I also look up to you for your amazing conference talks. I also remember getting stuck in an elevator with you and a few others! You are very talented, focused, and I think of you and @cephus.bsky.social as friends.

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.

2024 sucks.

It saddened me today when I saw in another community that a person that I don't know voluntarily admitted themself to a psychiatric ward. Until further notice. But then I was pleased for them. They have taken the important first step of recognising that they need help, and are actively seeking it.
