Every mode of transportation was used in getting to this I/O 🏃‍♂️🚲🚂🚌🚗✈️

Throwback to my first Google I/O in 2022 presenting the Pixel Plant (jk) ❤️ excited to be back at the Shoreline today!

Made a few more updates and added a new blog post (feat. Gizmo doodle by yours truly) ❤️ driuft.com/blog/2025/04...

It's been 5 months since I've setup my personal site using Material for MkDocs (shoutout @squidfunk.com + contributors!) but I've had an "Under construction" banner until yesterday. Just updated my landing page, check it out! Still a WIP, but my pup gets front row seats 🐶 driuft.com

Probably waiting for Gradle to build

My brain: *makes a todo list* Also my brain: "you will never see this list again"

Still recovering from saying "componentización" in this episode of @angularidades.com 😅 Great chat with @alejandrocuba.com on architecture, state, performance, and #a11y on Web and Android!

You know what really grinds my gears? Shows that are so good that you become emotionally invested only for them to fumble the finale so hard that you begin to question if you even liked it to begin with.

I'm back from vacation, let's get back into tech topics! I saw Madona's skeet and noodled on it with a friend on the chairlift. The Fakes vs Mocks debate is a classic, visited many times with very strong opinions as well as "it depends" discourse. Let's talk about why we write tests #AndroidDev

Tonight I want to talk about how we track performance in production on the Square Point Of Sale First, if you haven't yet, read @dml.bsky.social 's blog bsky.app/profile/dml.... Performance can take many shapes, let's dive into what we do! #AndroidDev

It was a blast! youtu.be/LVWgEkSncYU?...

Today's the day! DevFest Miami 2024 🌴 is here! Slide thru and witness my level of exhaustion in person from taking the Brightline at 5am 🥲

I love Kotlin but please don't abuse its features. I regularly see code like in the first function when you can instead write a simple if statement: it's shorter, easier to read, and doesn't allocate an object! Thankfully both functions compile to the same assembly when R8 is turned on.

#AndroidDev What are you using to create/host your personal sites? Until recently I was using Squarespace. I've kinda lost interest for intricate/bloated designs and just want something simple and fast. Looking for ideas! (but not looking to learn full-stack web development rn)

Aye tech people. Orlando Codecamp 2025 CFP is now open sessionize.com/orlando-code...

BTW androidfaithful.com are going live in a bit over an hour at 8PM ET / 5PM PT on youtube.com/DailyTechNewsShow and twitch.tv/GoodDayInternet. Join us for your weekly source of the latest news, hardware, and apps in the world of #Android

💯 Accessibility becomes an afterthought because developers can't relate to the hardships others face due to lack of accessibility. That's why sharing real human experiences is so important - it bridges the gap between accessibility being a technical checkbox into something we actually understand.

Here's a fun #AndroidDev architecture design problem: Implement a slider that edits state that is stored on disk. I think working through this task can reveal a lot of insight for why building great UI around asynchronous tasks can inherently be tricky and how tradeoffs are necessary.

Is anyone compiling and running Swift on Linux? It seems possible, just seeing if anyone had experience. Looking to run some analysis code in a CI job and don't want to have to use a Mac machine

Awesome read

When you're trying to CMD+Shift+O in Android Studio to find files but accidentally type I and re-load Gradle changes and just stare at the screen for a whole second wondering what just happened 😅
