Not actually a devlog #6

Hello everyone! Not much in side-projects in the last months. I've only managed to fix a bit the blog's CSS. So here are four articles about programming (and related subjects 🫣)

Reads 📖

• 🇬🇧All Projects are Business Projects. I've never been somewhere where THIS is not a subject. Sometime it's frustrating causing dev fatigue and sometime teams succeeds to handle it gracefully (jk never heard of something like that). So I hope this article could help convince people on the other side of the fence 😁.
• 🇬🇧Deep dive into annotations in Jetpack Compose. I've been doing less and less UI code recently. However when I discovered React around 2020, I was hooked (pun intended). was waiting for stable releases of Jetpack Compose and secretly wishing for something as easy to use. It was or at least it was WAY easier to produce reactive prototype than the ol' XML way. Now recomposition (and knowing when to do it) is an interesting problem for every framework in every language. Having nice API to make it even smarter is also a challenge. This article is directly talking about these kinds of little optimizations available in Jetpack Compose and when they can be really useful. A must-read for every Android developer.
• 🇬🇧"You need to be more strategic.". Some frameworks about strategies we can apply as devs to help us having a direciton.
• 🇬🇧 How projects fail at large tech companies . Interesting takes on projects failures.
