App Platform Launched App Platform is a lightweight application framework for state and memory management suitable for Kotlin Multiplatform projects. I'm happy to announce that we open-sourced the project today! amzn.github.io/app-platform/

I measured how much faster an agent can navigate an app and read its state by skipping the UI. Spoiler alert: the difference is significant. Another reason to decouple your business logic and navigation entirely from the UI layer. ralf-wondratschek.com/blog/headless-…

I'm still maintaining App Platform and just pushed a list-detail sample for different screen sizes and how to handle this with the unidirectional dataflow. The sample runs as a web app too:

That's why you buy @Audi. Their tech is so bad that they couldn't pull off something like this.

Absolute madness. Why would anyone pay any premium for a BMW from now on when they become the product with force pushed ads after dropping $50K+ (or more) on a new car Suddenly any car looks more tempting than BMW. It will be hard to recover from this. Who greenlit this?

seems crazy. The movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day paid BMW to take over the display of every BMW made after 2020. When you start a BMW, it shows you an ad for Spider Man. Really cheapens BMW imo.

I heard the quote that the Venn Diagram for agent experience and developer experience is a circle. I don't think it's quite right, but very close for developer productivity.

Something I have been thinking about: in the past, the best engineers I knew spent a lot of time automating their work in various ways. Better vim/emacs automations, writing lint rules to catch repeat code issues, building up a suite of e2e tests so they don't need to smoke test
