Vintage Strings, which are Serializable, can contain Drawables in Spans for a rich text experience, but for some reason Annotated String requires declaration of Placeholders and Child Composables which cannot be serialized. This seems like a major design flaw.

I've opened a feature request. Would appreciate your +1s!

There is a lot to love about Jetpack Compose, but it lacks Serializable support for AnnotatedString. This makes it impossible to guarantee state restoration for AnnotatedStrings that are composed outside of the UI layer and passed in Parcels. To avoid crashing, you'll have to annotate with `RawValue` which makes this unreliable.

Can confirm from personal experience, programming with AI is exactly like this.

The idea of “on time” as a project health metric is deeply flawed. People get satisfied and excited about it when a project is “on time”, but it essentially communicates overconfidence of people and organizations trying to fit the inherently complex reality into a number they came up with. The truth is: the reality doesn’t give a damn about what we think of it.

No, I'm not having a stroke. There have been two new Godzilla movies released some time within the last 5 months.

Thank god neither one has cast Matthew Broderick!

Whoa hold up. I just found out that Kansas City isn't in Kansas, it's in Missouri. However, there is a place in Kansas named Kansas City just across the river from Kansas City.

Which Kansas is Kansas???
