Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I'm making a conference talk with the title "Bad Kotlin Advice".

Dear #Android and #Kotlin community, you know what to do. Reply with the worst Kotlin code possible. :)

In Georgia it’s really starting to feel like the protest is gaining momentum. Today’s massive rally in Tbilisi has overwhelmed the police, and demonstrations are spreading nationwide. With Monday approaching, it’s hard to see state-run institutions operating as usual.

The First Developer Preview of Android 16 The first Developer Preview of Android 16 is available now, featuring faster API releases, new API level constants, an embedded photo picker and more.

Android 16 already has a developer preview.

Some of the stuff we've been working on is smaller, more frequent platform releases, usually we wouldn't release this thing until January, but look, it's already here!
