In reality, the context switching of kicking several things off wipes out my perceived productivity gains. At least in many/most cases!

Jetpack Navigation 3 is stable News and insights on the Android platform, developer tools, and events.

Leaning into Jetpack Compose and the idea of combining smaller building blocks together really helped make Nav3 a much more flexible library that made it a joy to work on and hopefully for you to use as well!

I’m Slow — LocalThunk Hello people, long time no chat! I have some unfortunate news: The promised 2025 Balatro 1.1 update isn’t going to come out in 2025. I know, I announced that it would, but it has become clear now th...

I wanted to give an update on the Balatro 1.1 release date:

localthunk.com/blog/im-slow

TL;DR is that it will not be coming out in 2025, it is still coming out for sure, and I'm sorry. The new timeline is "it's done when it's done"

Please read the blog post for more details
