DroidCon24 was a treasure trove of knowledge, offering an excellent session on the similarities between Kotlin and Swift. The presenter, Ash, with his deep understanding of the topic, managed to cover a vast subject in just 40 minutes. It was like scratching the surface of a rich topic. I also attended several other KMP sessions, each revealing the immense potential and numerous considerations involved. (1/6)

As an early adopter, it's fascinating to observe the contrasting landscapes of Android, with its 70% global market share, and the increasingly crowded iOS space, holding 30% mainly in America.

BitRise also provided a fantastic tips and tricks session, offering evaluation subscriptions for independent developers. This is especially useful as I aim to compare it to Apple's Xcode Cloud for CI/CD expertise and how well it can integrate KMP with Android and iOS components. (2/6)

DroidCon is relatively small in the US, having originated in Berlin and gained significant popularity in Europe. The intimate setting on the UCSF campus was a refreshing change, reminding me of the first WWDC conference I attended in SF. Back then, it was just a couple of hundred developers with Steve Jobs on the floor, compared to the millions who will be attending remotely next week. (3/6)

Meeting a fellow NATO GI at check-in who was also stationed in Gelnhausen, FRG, and was working for Uber, was a small-world moment that added to the experience. It was great to meet you Rey Mercado, what are the odds we would meet in SF? BTW, did you know the telephone was 1st invented in Gelnhausen? (4/6)

The UCSF campus has become a nice area compared to when I first started going to SF Giants games at Pac Bell Park when it was an industrial wasteland, they made some quality improvements with the UCSF campus and the Warriors moving across the Bay.

I will follow up with additional posts on Ditto, Uber RIBs, and Bitrise once I can build the open-source projects and get a feel for some cross-platform compatibility.
