The last 7 weeks, Spotify had 4 outages when publishing my podcast episodes (!!). After outage #3, I asked the Podcasts team to share how they are improving reliablity. They didn't share - and it just got worse. So I am no longer publishing video podcasts on Spotify, but redirect my audio RSS.

Another tool in my Swiss Army Knife for day-to-day work 💪 It's called Slashgrab, a macOS menu bar app for copying file and folder paths. Drag it onto the icon, drop it, and the path is copied to the clipboard. So I don't need to go crazy to get a path from whatever. slashgrab.app

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.

2ality blog: temporarily offline

Dear visitor! Two things happened recently:

- The income from my book sales went from being enough for me to live off (2024) to zero (2026).
- The traffic to my blog and my books (which were free to read online) increased beyond what I can currently afford. Virtually all of it comes from AI crawlers, so there is no ad income.

Therefore, I’m taking my blog and my books offline so that I can decide what to do next – especially w.r.t. AI companies stealing my work. This may take a while (think months): I don’t have any energy to deal with this right now.

I apologize for this (hopefully temporary) inconvenience to my human readers! You can still buy my books at Payhip.

@jason.bayton.org Hi Jason, reading your great post and this "The same APIs that power commercial MDM solutions are available to anyone with a Google Cloud project." makes me feel it is super easy. Yet, it seems that AMAPI requires approval from the Google side to even get 1 device enrollment.

I want to use Kotlin 2.3 because of certain features. To use it, you need AGP 8.13 to avoid R8 issues and thousands of build warnings. But if you use IntelliJ IDEA like me, no luck, buddy. It supports only 8.12 for now.

I think we should aim for both. Modern hardware should reasonnably be able to create a graph with hundreds of thousands of nodes in milliseconds. Of course that doesn't work if there's IO in between but this is where we need Gradle strict mode.

Another Android accessibility tip: if you have `indication=null` set to your interactive components, it's likely that you're preventing anyone relying physical keyboard or d-pad for navigation. This is, of course, if you haven't implemented proper focus indicators, which don't include ripples.

Navigation 3 question: So I'm trying to create a Scene where the user may drag "down" the screen. Since the drag cannot be driven through predictive handling, it has to be an OverlayScene. So far, so good. To make it work, I'm using a Popup.
