Yiğit

We had the goodbye dinner last night and the cake was me, eaten by the team. I'm not sure what message was sent but i certainly enjoyed it.
Apparently you can have your own cake and eat it too! (3rd photo is the original)

Yesterday was my last day at Google.
What started as a 2-year Green Card journey became 11 amazing years & meeting incredible people.
So many great memories from creating Jetpack to adopting Kotlin.
10/10, would do it again.
It is time to move on though, try new challenges and learn new stuff!

We have a new episode of the ADB podcast up, this time covering KMP -- Kotlin multiplatform. Yigit Boyar (@yboyar.bsky.social), Dustin Lam and I discuss library support, developer experience and a lot more. I found it fascinating, but Yigit's dog fell asleep...

Unfortunately no.
We've experimented with it so it is definitely on our radar. But given the userbase, we've decided it is better to cut the 2.7 with existing platforms and consider the web as a follow-up. 2.7 is already a very big release 🤷‍♂️

I try to pack light when possible to travel with a carry on and avoid baggage claim stress.

And guess which genius forgot his carry on luggage on the plane 🤦‍♂️

Conclave (film) - Google Search

If you are looking for an interesting movie, try Conclave g.co/kgs/yLdrejt.
It is fun, stressful and twisty.

I'm trying to restart using bluesky since the Android community seems to have moved here but getting a lot of allergies due to the default app quality.
Which client are people using on Android?
