The algorithm says, "What's everyone else having?"

- Work-life balance is good. Outside of work, I switch from programming Android to writing. About Android. Book available soon.
- The book is ready - here's the proof. I just received "proof" copies from the printer for the b&w and color editions, and they're great. It's ready. Now to flip the switch on Amazon and let them do their thing. It might take a day or two; it's software. #AndroidsBook
- Here's a think I wrote about a thing I did today:
- My hotel lets me use my phone for my room key. So now, instead of having to take out my key and unlock the door, I can: - take out my phone - unlock it - navigate to the app - navigate to the key screen - tap to unlock the door - wait for server roundtrip Technology rocks!
- For devs writing cross-platform code, always remember WORA: Write Once, Run Away.
- Younger me: "Why am I not in that meeting?" Older me: "Why am I in this meeting?"
- "I started programming because I wanted to become IT support for my entire extended family," said no developer ever.
- I'd like to complain about the unfair practice of UIs that list birth year in recency order, so the older you are the longer you have to scroll down (and down, and down). Let the kids do all the scrolling; I just don't have that much time left.
- My original interviewer just left the company. I think this means that the reference to me in the root set is gone, so I'm likely to be collected and freed on the next garbage collection.
- The horrible keyboard on the new MacBook is so loud that people always think, when I'm typing, that I'm very angry. Which I am. At the keyboard. Hate it so much.
- I collected the Android sessions from Google I/O into handy categories. Because there were a lot of them. “What’s Now in Android” by Chet Haase
- Eleven years ago today, I joined Android. My starter project was the animation API that launched in Honeycomb. An anniversary seems like an appropriate time to say… It's time for a change! No, I'm not leaving Android. But I am changing teams and jobs.
- I've been writing a lot more Kotlin lately. I don't think my Kotlin coding is good yet, but my Java coding is getting worse. So that's something.
