Sounds a bit different than I remember... Still good though!

RE: @FluentInFinance@mastodon.social
Just in time for the 20th anniversary Blu-ray release of I Am Legend.
"An update on Android KTX"?!?
Uh, oh. We all know what that means…

@Aurimas@androiddev.social Thanks! Yeah it seems like a fun mix of small-team Android with some AOSP and hardware sprinkled in. And no VC money as a cherry on top.
Today is my first day at Skylight building an Android-based calendar, photo frame, and more!
In Android 17, apps targeting SDK 37 or higher will receive a new implementation of MessageQueue where the implementation is lock-free.

I'm so happy that it says "Unemployed" on there, at least for now. They (politely) declined to put that in the social stuff despite me thinking that it is hilarious.
I'll be at KotlinConf this May presenting about how command-line apps talk to terminals and how they talk back.

@autonomousapps@mstdn.social Thanks! It's the more tame version, too. Probably would be entirely unemployable if I published the first extra-spicy draft haha.
I'm looking for new employment opportunities. Tips, leads, intros, or whatever are welcome.
Not sure why everyone makes such a big deal of traveling with kids. You just need the right equipment.

@guelo@mastodon.online I use it for anything Kotlin regardless of multiplatform or not
The Retrofit 2 converter for kotlinx.serialization has shed its experimental annotations and gone 1.0!
https://github.com/JakeWharton/retrofit2-kotlinx-serialization-converter/releases/tag/1.0.0
This requires a bump to Kotlin 1.8.10 and kotlinx.serialization 1.5.0 where the APIs we relied upon have now been stabilized. Enjoy!
Next steps: move the converter into the Retrofit repo as a proper first-party offering.
