The recording of the talk I gave about tips for learning a new codebase at #dcsf23 is published!
Slides are also available here: https://speakerdeck.com/cmarsch/navigating-the-unknown-tips-for-efficiently-learning-a-new-codebase
Learning new codebases quickly is an essential skill for a successful career as an Android engineer. In this talk, we'll explore why it is important to cultivate this skill and walkthrough a systematic approach to efficiently master a new codebase, from analyzing code architecture to stepping through key flows.
If you want to learn more about profiling Gradle you can watch a recording of my talk from #dcsf23

A peek behind the curtains on what Gradle spends time on during builds. We'll walk through some techniques of using a JVM profiler to optimize your build logic. I'll share areas that often have the best return on investment and how to make sure you don't regress as your build logic evolves.

I ran out of time to show it, but my #droidcon session’s chat demo included an implementation for Google PaLM as well as OpenAI (using the chat and embeddings APIs).

Had a blast giving my first ever #AndroidDev conference talk at #dcsf23 this week! I'll be sure to share out the recording when that is ready but in the meantime I uploaded the slides from my talk here:

Learning new codebases quickly is an essential skill for a successful career as an Android engineer. In this talk, we'll explore why it is important to cultivate this skill and walkthrough a systematic approach to efficiently master a new codebase, from analyzing code architecture to stepping through key flows. The real value of learning a new codebase quickly is in the ability to accelerate development and share your knowledge with others. We'll discuss the importance of documenting what you've learned and sharing it broadly. You'll leave with practical strategies and tips for accelerating your learning process and becoming a valuable member of any development team.
first in-person conference talk in a long time... had a lot of fun at #dcsf23
AI for Android on- and off-device (basically ONNX and OpenAI 😉)
