I know there's a lot of people that worked on this behind the scenes but on top of Ralf and Tom, I also wanna give a huge shout out to Joel Wilcox and Jacob Applin for a ton of contributions, pairing sessions over tuple, and starting work with me on Metro as far back as January 2025. Hire them!
Is there interesting technical content on leveraging LLMs to help with root causing production issues?
Beyond just "we pasted all the logs in context & asked to solve"
E.g. log compression, algorithmic investigation, exposing tools & methods, etc..

And it also covers the origin of Android Studio!
That 16% has been revised upwards, as it included a cohort that included those with the older, much less effective vaccine. For those vaccinated with Shingrix, the reduction of dementia diagnoses downstream may be well over 50%. The data are still coming.
Dan Kim's KotlinConf'25 session showed how far you can go with a fully Kotlin‑powered web app: rapid development, type‑safe database access, a Vaadin UI, and full CRUD – all without leaving the Kotlin ecosystem.
See you at KotlinConf'26! ➡️ https://kotlinconf.com/

Hi friends I just got laid off along with 40% of Block. No idea what comes next, but if you have need for a Principal Frontend Engineer hit me up!
Almost all of Cash Mobile Engineering was laid off today.
None of us have any clue what their rubric was for choosing who stayed and who went, but whatever it was, I'm on the job market again!
If you've built an Android app in the last decade, you've almost certainly shipped Jesse Wilson's code to your users.
🎙️Our newest Beyond the Noise episode with @swank.ca just dropped – tracing the open-source decisions that shaped modern Android!
🎧 Listen today:
A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.
"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."
I'll be speaking on RemoteCompose: Building for remote surfaces with Compose

Really nice episode on the history of Kotlin and the future of programming languages by Andrey Breslav & @pragmaticengineer.com pca.st/episode/8d6081d6-3419-4e...
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
I really urge you to not just shake your head at the headline of this but to read each word, to imagine each step these kids took, to sit with the terrible dilemma of the mother, to imagine the principal driving toward Whipple.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
Rep. Robin Kelly’s resolution to impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has 111 cosponsors. That needs to get to 212 ASAP.
NATO did not "stay a little back, off the front lines."
Danish, British and Estonian troops served in Helmand, and Canadian forces in Kandahar - the two most dangerous Afghan provinces.
Denmark, UK, Estonia & Canada suffered amongst the highest per‑capita soldier death rates when defending the US.
Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.
Jesus.

One of the most fascinating reads about the history of a software product I've ever read. Grab a copy if you haven't read it yet. You also get Chet Jokes as a bonus!
And if you have read it, pick up "Show-stopper! The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft"
We released Developer Preview 3 of the #AndroidXR SDK, opening augmented experiences development for Al Glasses.
To help you build for Display Al Glasses, we are releasing Jetpack Compose Glimmer, our new design language and UI Toolkit for augmented experiences.
You shared that androidx libraries are constantly in alphas and we listened. In the past two years while adding a ton of new libraries we actually increased the percentage of libraries that are complete or actively developed.
The combo of these two groups went from 64% to 76%.
