@riggaroo Late to the party - I work on @SharesiesNZ! Our app is 100% Compose, with some really neat WebView and navigation tie-ins going on under the hood

Time for something a little different 👀
Interested in a different take on how to keep your platforms at the cutting edge? I've had a crack at writing my learnings from a year in a fresh codebase at @SharesiesNZ

I'm finally giving this streaming thing another crack this evening! 👨🏽💻

Time for some bio updates...
I'm excited to announce that I'm no longer a GDE, as this is my first week as an Android Developer Relations Engineer at Google! 🎉
Really looking forward to contributing to @AndroidDev, focusing on Kotlin.

@hndmrsh A DIY mini-ITX would be my pick. Far more extensible than something ex-lease or a NUC, and upgradable in small increments if you want to beef it up down the line.
Up front cost is a bit higher, but the ability to upgrade storage and things easily would sway me!
English
While everyone is doing it, here was my (pretty full on) 2021:
1) Became an Android GDE
2) Helped kick off native mobile at @SharesiesNZ
3) Remote talks galore, and tested the waters of streaming! twitch.tv/jamiesanson
Bring on 2022 💪

@nicktmro How quickly can I tell if it does what it should? If it's within the hour and we can address issues within the day then sure. If its and app and I'm at the whim of Apple or Google then no thank you.

@mogest I hear the same call from Hataitai, and had the same birds blasting it out early morning and late evening all the way through to January last year 😩
English
@mogest Tūī do change their tune pretty frequently! By region, as well as my time of the year. Tūīs mate and lay eggs between September and January, so I'd assume this is a specific, mating oriented call.
English
I have bird questions for bird knowledgeable people. There are tūī in Wellington this year singing a very different song: it's just one repeated loud note followed by the usual cackling noises. I've heard it all around southern Wellington. Have I just not noticed it before?

Hey, I have some cool news to share! A couple of weeks ago I got to the end of the Google Developer Expert application process, and last week I got the email. I'm NZs first Android GDE! 🤖

@AthorNZ That being said, the API surface is large and there a lot of bits and pieces to consider compared to the stock-standard async/await in other languages. Being explicit about structured concurrency is compelling, but with that comes complexity.
English
@AthorNZ There's a learning curve to coroutines, but once you're past structured concurrency it does it's job well and, I think, is superior to Rx given the one-shot nature of suspend funs
Calling a suspend fun from a suspending context it's better than the more explicit async await imo
English
Coroutines has to be Kotlin's biggest failure.
What a terrible, unintuitive, confusing API. It completely fails to provide the simple async/await API most other languages have, and instead we're stuck with something worse than Rx.
