~10 years as a GDG organizer. I love Google's ecosystem.
But starting Sept 2026, ALL Android apps need Google-approved developer registration — even outside the Play Store.
This kills openness.

On Friday I just wanted to give a talk on "Successfully reducing Firestore read operations" but then...
... the Lord came upon me. And behold, it was very good!
Last talk of the conf, still big amusement!

Hi @martadias18.bsky.social , thank you!
That was an awesome talk @benkadel.com . Where do you get the energy from?
Ooops, GitHub is down...
Seems that I should go to sleep. Good Night.
Where is it?
See you at Fluttercon Europe 2025! My talk "Successfully reducing Firestore read operations" was accepted. 🎉
Superhappy to share my experience on how to effectively reduce costs for you and your company in a scale up.

This is when you take #google #development seriously. It's permanent he said...
#gdgsummit #gdg
Looking forward to meeting you here
Today's my graduation 🎓 day. Officially attended the #gdgsummit before #googleIOConnect. Thanks for the head and the blanket, Google.

Oh yeah, and I'm wearing that flower shirt so don't be shy and approach me any time...
On my way to #ioconnect25 and looking forward to meeting the #gdg #gde community again!
Still carrying that #google #developers bag with me from last year. See you all in Berlin...
You should have tried an event bus instead...
It's hopefully still 'AI is like toddlers"
And the next cursor moment. Trying to implement a more complex business logic in uRyde and trapped in constant compile errors and wrong interpretations of my requirements... Hype over.
I know it's late but I just had my #cursor.ai revelation moment.
I was able to
- refactor an old project from plain javascript to typescript
- upgrade node js from version 16 to 20 for the project
- introduce a linter for ts
- upgrade other dependencies for the project
within a few hours. 🤯
Music can be such a powerful thing.

It originates from an even more powerful time, when everyone was shocked about humanity and realized that we needed an "Universal Declaration of Human Rights".
Where do we stand right now?

Looks to me like Google wants to get an advantage to their competitors as it will be harder for them to stay up-to-date with their Android development. So for me it's an unfortunate development. But feel free to correct me here.
Good luck @tahatesser.com

Ein Foto von Robert Habeck im Bundestag am Rednerpult. Er spricht. Darauf ein Zitat: Manchmal erkennt man politische Schicksalstage erst im Rückblick der Geschichte. Aber das gilt heute nicht. Jede und jeder kann sehen und wissen, was gerade auf dem Spiel steht. Jede und jeder muss sich heute der Verantwortung bewusst sein.
Heute geht es nicht um bloße Sachfragen. Heute geht es zum ersten Mal darum, ob aus der parlamentarischen Mitte des Landes heraus ein Bruch mit der politischen Tradition dieser Republik passiert. Es geht um staatspolitische Verantwortung. Und dieser Verantwortung müssen wir uns heute bewusst sein.
