Gabor Varadi Jorge Castillo really hope you can write a detailed article so that our new Android developers can avoid unnecessary detours.

Yesterday was my last day at Google. What started as a 2 year Green Card journey became 11 amazing years & meeting incredible people. So many great memories from creating Jetpack to adopting Kotlin. 10/10! It is time to move on though, try new challenges and learn new stuff!

Let’s clean the house a bit, it’s always good. What is the most dogmatic concept in modern Android development? The one that everyone defends because it’s on the books but in practice it provides no value or it is not worth it.

Jorge Castillo >clean coding 16 layers of lasagna to display a list of strings think this one just beats them all

Thiago Santos John O'Reilly We've never been so close to actually implementing Clean Architecture instead of just circlejerking about empty domain modules

justin Jorge Castillo The worst part about the Dagger/Hilt dogma is that people advocating for it tend to lack the knowledge in regards to what Dagger/Hilt actually even does; to such degree that if you were to write the EXACT SAME CODE as what Dagger/Hilt generates, they'd complain that it's not DI.

Jorge Castillo List of dogmatic concepts in "modern" Android development: - using mocks in unit tests where you could use the real class - "data-domain-presentation layering" / modules - Dagger/Dagger-Android/Hilt - MVI, "reducers" - XML theme attributes for single (light+night) colors -

George Theocharis Jorge Castillo I didn't add "clean architecture" to this list, because in the past 11 years of Android dev, I've never once worked on a real project written with ACTUAL Clean Architecture (meaning the WHOLE APP is a separate non-Android core library, including ALL navigation state & app logic).

Gabor Varadi George Theocharis Jorge Castillo Clean architecture in a 2009 Google IO sample and using Java. But yes, real companies didn't watch or learn from.

Reminder: this is all fake. Any time someone makes a claim like this, either they are lying, or every single programmer they know is completely awful and can’t program at all. x.com/alexalbert__/s…

I feel like a turning point here was the release of Siri which sent a signal to the industry that it’s ok to ship half baked stuff that doesn’t do what it’s supposed to reliably and we have just steadily inched further in that direction ever since

I think it really is a thing, like a shift in the core values of technology makers. There’s like a frontier between “boring and reliably works every time” on the left and “spectacular when it works but regularly fails” on the right and we used to stay much closer to the left.

AGI achieved.

I still haven't solved procrastination I waste so many hours per week, it's excruciating I could already be a millionaire How do you manage it? Does anyone here feel like they use 90% of their time wisely?

"Lack of jobs" just means that CTOs and project managers don't pick it as an option, and instead picks something else (potentially with an easier level of entry, e.g. choosing to use Java for backend instead of Clojure/OCaml) Same goes for Flutter and Compose-MP vs React Native.

Google will finally provide a way to build multi-module Android AAR libraries. It's called Fused Library plugin 🥳 developer.android.com/build/publish-…

jetpack compose is cool but yeah, double-edged.... if you don't know what you're doing, recomposition hell is real ☝️

dbestech BloC is a way to structure the state of screens. Clean architecture is a set of guidelines that allows you to fully extract all of your application logic (including navigation and state) to be runtime-/platform-independent. BloC makes Clean Architecture impossible to implement.
