RT @AndroidDev: The @Kotlin adoption story began before official support from Google. The excitement in the community was one of the reason….

Happy 5 years of Kotlin on Android (officially speaking, of course 😉). It was so fun to reminisce about how far things have come since those earliest days!.

Also my talking dog is doing great and living his best life thanks for asking 😅

The fundamental principles of learning are the same across species, but to teach across species lines you need to REALLY pay attention to how learning occurs and how to optimize for it with minimal frustration. It's extremely simple in theory, wildly complex in application.

Also I haven't been on Twitter in months but while I'm here I'd like to say: becoming a professional dog trainer has taught me more about what it means to be a tech lead than any tech specific career training I've ever done and now I need to host a conf so I can give this talk.

Remember that time when I showed up to give a presentation and then couldn't share my deck so presented the entire talk from memory?! 🙃. Bless this audience and these organizers for bearing with me 💛 Such a delightful group of people!.

Unsure who is reaping the rewards of this gift more: Eugene who now has a snuggly blanket for afternoon snoozles or me who now gets even more cute Eugene photos, now with 2x the Eugene content‼️.

If you have been thinking about teaching your furry friends to talk I highly recommend it! It has really changed how I look at the world and the non human animals we share it with.

Today I .1) logged into twitter again.2) gave a talk for the first time in 2 years.3) drove to shoreline for I/O. (Developer) Nature is healing 🥺 .Can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow!

In related news I'm thrilled about the public release of Molecule, a state management solution coming out of @squareeng . I'm early in my dogfooding but am extremely excited by the potential and eager to continue building on it.

This is a tremendous article from Rebecca and the team. Just finished reading and found it extremely detailed with practical learnings and advice.

Another kerfluffle over someone saying gender shouldn't matter in tech and I'm not sure what the fuss is about because I totally agree that men should stop getting jobs, promotions, and funding due to their gender.

"Mine!" is a phenomenal book. It was immensely thought provoking both generally in my capacity as a person who lives in society and also as someone who works at a tech company during a period in time where technology is dramatically changing rules of ownership. Highly recommend

The clearest take on XPlat I've seen yet.

Switching back to IJ has been a good opportunity to clean house on default settings that don't bring me joy. If you're still opening XML files and then immediately switching to the `code` view, update your default editor mode and breathe a sigh of relief 🙂

Ayyy, Best Seller is a good look on you @chethaase 😎. #AndroidsBook

And don't even get me started on @dsandler 's incredible artwork throughout the book. So utterly delightful! First time in a long time I've regretted reading on a kindle, but as soon as the paperbacks are available I'll be snatching one up to get those full color illustrations 🤗.
