@AnxiousHolly Dying to know how this was implemented! Look soooooo impressive from a technical perspective!!

obsessed with liquid glass

@TheAppleDesign @znebrakr I would absolutely love to know how they implemented this whole glassy effect!! Damn impressive from a technical standpoint!

Liquid Glass bends white into rainbow colours.. this is insane From @znebrakr

@AravSrinivas I’ve been thinking about this for a little while now. I think there is a need to fundamentally rethink how emails work. Gotta find a fix for all of our inboxes being drowned in unnecessary emails.

does anyone use outlook on your browser? do you want support for an agent to go read and send emails and schedule stuff for you?

@jetbrains Shift shift is my all time fav ❤️❤️

Developers, what’s your most-used JetBrains shortcut? Ours is Cmd + Z (just kidding… kind of). Drop your faves below! 👇

@neetcode1 Whatever you do, please don’t stop making videos for the daily leetcode challenges

Every month I get a strong urge to work for a tech company or startup

@neetcode1 I think you need to make something like “Neetcode lightning”. Something that I could use for quickly brushing up concepts before an interview.

It's almost 2025 and tech companies are still asking LeetCode style interview questions. So I just added a new list of problems to neetcode.io - 🦄 NeetCode 250. This list is very beginner friendly. Each topic has a few extra easy problems. My goal was to make it approachable for people who have never even taken an algorithms course before. The first problem, for example, is just concatenating two arrays. It's also very comprehensive. Each question builds upon the next one, with in-depth video explanations, and code solutions in several languages. It's free, so if you're grinding for interviews check it out.

@trypearai @benawad @neetcode1 “Hey everyone, welcome back, and let’s check this new IDE out” 🤭

@chrisbanes 🫡

After what feels like a lifetime of development, I've decided to deprecate and archive Tivi 🫡 github.com/chrisbanes/tivi

@androiddevnotes Gotta be honest, I really wanted to love fleet. I even tried using it as my main IDE, but, it’s just been a bit too buggy. I especially face this bug where it just fails to start the “smart mode” and just keeps spinning indefinitely.

A new IDE is coming from JetBrains... based on Fleet platform. Fully dedicated to KMP!

@androiddevnotes That’s more or less what you can see in web development.

sometimes I wish everything would be a global or top level function and concept of oop wouldn't even exist

@androiddevnotes OMG 😱 Dude this is insane!

the file that powers telegram chat

@androiddevnotes Xcode ✅ -> Xcode 🗑️

XCode ❌ → Xcode ✅

@canTheBot404 @androiddevnotes Wow!

@androiddevnotes I heard you wanna decrease number of imports. You don't have to explicitly import Foundation if you already have SwiftUI imported. SwiftUI already imports that in backstage.

the iOS app is now opensource (github.com/androiddevnote…) 0 external dependencies only 2 imports: SwiftUI and Foundation

@androiddevnotes I have no idea how devs thought that databinding was a good idea

databinding died in 2016

@androiddevnotes The main reason as to why HID looks really good is because of the use of “transparent” / “semi-transparent” components. They give a really premium feeling to the whole UI. Also their animations are top notch!

i think we are going to discover how much human interface design is superior to material design

@androiddevnotes Why can’t they just optimize imports at the compiler level? Why would it be difficult to just do this ? Import androidx.jetpack.compose.* And let the compiler only import the necessary functions / classes based on what’s being used in the file.

how about grouped import syntax:

@androiddevnotes Their IDE is so trash that I couldn’t even begin exploring iOS dev. Doesn’t even have a built in formatter lol. How is this even a thing?

no ios dev has to think about di, navigation library, imports, config changes, context ... everything just works

@androiddevnotes I’m happy that someone is obsessed about the import situation in Kotlin / Android. Hopefully someone who could do something about it stumbles across this and decides to do something about it.

@androiddevnotes I’d be soo happy to see the day when we can just do this import androidx.jetpack.compose

how to tame the kotlin imports in android studio

@androiddevnotes While I don’t really have a problem with this, I think It would’ve been better if they went with yaml for this one.

was there no better way to make this format less verbose ... and still be useful for multi modules
