Super sympathetic to Sonatype's situation, hosting isn't free. But announcing this with paltry limits and no public pricing options (a sales contact ain't it) is bad for everyone and going to be a major disruption to the JVM and Kotlin ecosystems. central.sonatype.org/publish/mave...

Today I’m open-sourcing Dejavu! Testing UI performance in Jetpack Compose is frustrating. We profile and watch tools, yet regressions still creep in. I built Dejavu to make recomposition behavior something you can actually test.

$A screenshot of code that reads: // Create a Recomposition Tracking Rule @get:Rule val composeTestRule = createRecompositionTrackingRule() @Test fun incrementCounter_onlyValueRecomposes() { // Perform an action composeTestRule.onNodeWithTag("inc_button") .performClick() // Assert that Composables change like you expect composeTestRule.onNodeWithTag("counter_value") .assertRecompositions(exactly = 1) // Or assert that they remain stable composeTestRule.onNodeWithTag("counter_title") .assertStable() // asserts recompositions = 0 }$

There is one place where an AI-related layoff might be justified. Working with AI requires skills that some developers seem unwilling or unable to acquire. Coding alone, no matter how good you are, is no longer sufficient. You need to understand systems thinking and software architecture. 9/11

I love the separated entry point modules and I would prefer a single shared module. If someone wants to implement further modularisation they can do that, but don't force two shared modules on users. Everything shared in a single "shared" module is fine. Maybe app/android, app/ios, ..?

Don't you think that LLM just did a hiccup while showing the data at the correct position? Because the data is consistent on all four platforms, just wrongly aligned.
