Say the compliment out loud. I have some coworkers I really dig working with. I think that every time we do projects. So SAY it.

“I really enjoy working with you! We always get it done and it’s always super collaborative!”

Don’t just THINK the compliment. Say it. Then tell their boss.

(TY for all your feedback so far :) Ill reopen this one as it needs more time 🕙 almost there!)

Text breaking change incoming in #JetpackCompose ! ✍️ We need your input. We believe the time has come to flip the switch!

Start testing switching includeFontPadding to false and give us your feedback!

Please share your experience. More context below.

Android Studio Flamingo went stable today!

Also, we also announced that starting with Giraffe, the Kotlin DSL will now be the default build script for new projects:

(There's also experimental support for version catalogs, which is a much better way to manage dependencies than buildSrc and other similar tricks!)

We're now recommending using KTS for build files. With Kotlin in your build, and for UI with #JetpackCompose, you can now use Kotlin for every part of your app.
