In a highly modularized codebase, typing full Gradle task names can be tedious. Gradle supports task name abbreviation: just type the shortest unique prefix. If ambiguous, Gradle suggests candidates.
⚠️ Use locally for speed, but keep codebase references explicit for readability!

Things that make me grumpy:
- Friends who send five one-word messages vs one five-word message.
- Mobile operating systems that don't batch notifications and have no problem buzzing me five times within five seconds.

Hello #AndroidDev #FlutterDev 👋
Who's ready for #dclx25? It starts next Thursday! 🗓️
Two days of talks in the beautiful city of Alcochete, just across the bridge from Lisbon. So you'll have plenty of time to explore and fall in love with the city.
I've gathered a couple of suggestions together 👇

Metro 0.6.0 is out now with revamped graph extensions, lazier validation, a bunch of improvements to Dagger interop, and a ton of bugfixes!
The biggest change here is graph extensions are no longer detached and wired much more like dagger subcomponents now.

Trailblaze got some new updates today! There's an official yaml spec defined in the trailblaze-yaml module. The examples will be updated by the end of this week.
There's also new memory tools available so the agent can remember screen state for later assertions.

A pattern is only useful until it gets in your way.
Over the years I’ve seen way too many devs defending ideas only because they were written in a book.
