Hey all, I’m AJ. I’m a mobile dev with over 10 years of experience building Android apps. I’ve worked on & led feature teams, app re-writes, CI/CD, and more. I ❤️ SwiftUI and have built a few small iOS/macOS apps on my own. For fun I love TTRPGs, playing golf, and chilling at my abode. #introduction

My local coffee spot changed their sip lids and I hate the new ones. Do I bring it up?

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 15d

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

When I was in college I remember a semester where I measured the time I spent studying for finals in the library by the number of times I listened to this particular Foo Fighters album. #music #unrelatable

Today Claude helped me get over the hump of just utter brain fog and exhaustion to fix a minor UI bug, simply by finding something for me in the code that my tired human eyes couldn't see. IDK if I have a comment, but it's maybe the most useful interaction I've had so far with one of these tools.

It’s either that kind of thing or dating apps for the elderly, ambulance chasers, ED meds, etc.

I’m getting what I deserve for watching golf round reruns but yeesh.

The battery pack being sold by ex-military grifters selling independence from the “failing grid”. With bonus solar panels. Like bro why do you think the grid might be failing and how’s the battery gonna help. You’ve been voting against solar infrastructure for your whole life.

Watching Golf Channel on linear TV with the in-laws this weekend and I swear 90% of the commercials seem like blatant satire.

I wonder where Android sits in the list of priorities right now. Not to mention they continue to lay people off. Can't be going too smoothly over there.

I was feeling dizzy after the I/O Keynote. It's clear that the focus for Google is purely on AI & Gemini. But the Android team is still cranking, and the updates to Compose and new libraries for Navigation & Media were really cool. Feeling energized after What's New in Android #googleio #androiddev

Finished 'The Lemurian Phoenix' DLC for The Rise of the Golden Idol, and it's just not fair how all I want to do is solve puzzles and unravel strange scenarios. Nothing scratches quite the same itch.

Will just have to wait for later in 'Q2 2025' I guess 😮‍💨

It's a lot easier to do this now, and I wrote it before Compose navigation or Hilt, but I just updated my micro-library of extension functions for constructing ViewModels. Was just happy to get it to 100% Kotlin and that the publishing still worked 😅
