I was told that MTN was the best internet service provider in Uganda, but I was shocked to find that it has the worst customer service I’ve ever seen. I’ve been in Uganda for a month now, and I’ve tried every possible way to get in touch with customer service, but they just keep making empty promises.

Eid Mubarak from MTN 🌙✨ Here’s a special message from our Chief Marketing Officer, @ElsheikhSylvia, as we celebrate. #RamadanWithMTN

the UI shouldn't have logic, the ViewModel or call it what you like is intended to ensure that the UI can only be responsible for displaying things on the screen that's all, by putting the logic in the UI, this logic becomes strongly coupled to the UI and reduces code reuse, as very often several UI components share the same logic.

Have we talked about MVVM lately?

I was trying to understand how the lines of code we write every day go from human-readable code to machine code executable by the CPU, so I wrote a little article about it. 👇 levelup.gitconnected.com/understanding-… #LLVM #GoogleDevExpert

Good to know: C++ developers should expect this copy method to perform a deep copy. Unfortunately, the copy method in Kotlin performs a shallow copy. This means that after the copy, calling a.open() also changes b, even though a and b are two different instances. To perform a deep copy, a custom implementation of the copy method is required.

Hey @googlemaps I was wondering if there was a way to find places not only based on my location, but also based on a location I've chosen, Sometimes you're planning to go somewhere, and you want to know if there are grocery shops around that place, it's literally impossible to do that with Google Map right now.

@arnogiu Congratulations 🥳
