One interesting outcome of AI agents being so fast at prototyping:
It can take longer to have a meeting about building a prototype than to build it!
So... why not just build it, then show it and talk about it?
Does anyone need a ticket for the berlin #droidcon ?
I can probably not attend and have the ticket already. Looks like I can change the attendee name without a problem.
This also makes it so much harder to find original content in the desired language. I have to start a video to find out if it is originally in German, so I can watch it with my kids or if it is a horrible AI dub. Translating the titles ruined the search for me.

Better to just say art is good because we're all here on this sinking ship and it's nice to have a band playing.

2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

At least use a different notification channel so that we can mute it. One of my favorite features on android.

A screenshot of a notification on a german android device with "My Renault News!" as the title and an ad text about some way to win prizes.
An android screenshot showing that the notification was sent in the channel "Lademodus" which is german for charging mode
An android screenshot showing that all advertisement notifcations are turned off.
Dear #AndroidDev at #Renault the next time some manager wants you to send ads over the charging-mode notification channel and asks to send it to everyone, even the ones that explicitly do not want notifications about any offers.... just stay strong and say "No".

Hinzu kommt dass die meisten Sicherheitslücken über die Ärzte laufen, da kann man denen auch nach dem Besuch direkt die Berechtigungen wieder entziehen.

My dad is the same but about a foot too close for the US. At gatherings it would look like a dance, him constantly trying to move in closer and the american trying to politely escape shuffling backwards :-) He never noticed it himself. We have smaller personal space in Germany as well.

I'm still working on upgrading Pocket Casts to Android 15 with edge-to-edge support. I found you can deploy to multiple emulators with each run. Having SDK 24 (our lowest), 30, 34, and 35 seems to be the best combination to catch issues.
