You've asked for this... and now Compose 1.9 alpha introduces two new modifiers 👀 Modifier.innerShadow() and Modifier.dropShadow()

Allowing you to more closely align your designs to your Figma specs, unlocking fun effects like Neumorphic type UIs 😍

Today is my last day at Google. I joined as an intern almost 18 years ago, and it still feels like it was yesterday. I'm incredibly grateful that I got to work with so many amazing and talented folks, but I'm also excited to try something new. First step: a few months of travel and photography :)

Last week I had an interesting conversation on how to set goals for http request latency:

1) Measure network latency client side (browser or app) rather than at the edge.

2) Set a P75 goal rather than P95 or P99
