For the past two days, I’ve been busy adding links to the navbar menus. It’s now a lot easier to find my work when you need it (no more searching through repos), and you no longer see that nasty WIP page if you click on anything.
I also adjusted colors for links, navigation items, and the banner image, but you probably don’t care about that very much.
Finally, yesterday, I attended the Android@Scale conference in Manhattan. It’s part of the @Scale series, sponsored in part by Facebook.
I’m still new to Android, and hearing how professional developers at big companies do their work was very enlightening and exciting. It definitely gave me a good idea of where the industry is right now, in terms of popular libraries and frameworks.
It also taught me a lot about workflow at big tech companies, the importance of testing, and, of course, the challenges of shipping fast, performative, reliable code for a very large and international userbase. I especially enjoyed the talks about StrictMode and React Native migration.
I said that I would post my notes from the conference later that evening, but that was a lie. I was exhausted. I will, however, try to type my notes up soon and post them as a separate blog post.
