KotlinConf it is!
If you are coming for this to the bay area, I'd love to grab a coffee/dinner!
Thanks Seb. You are awesome. Jewel efforts are highly appreciated. I can see the things it is unlocking in Android Studio.

Switching which device test you want in Android Studio will now have configuration cache hits! This should make your test inner development loop so much faster!
To make this work you need @gradle.com >=9.4.0 and AGP >=9.1.0

A post about how a library could be considered complete, might not need any further changes, and all of that is totally OK!

These categories help reflect on which bucket each manager I've had falls into.

It might look even cooler if the color "tail" got longer as the temperature got higher.

I'd love to see a short post on the kind of things you found and how you fixed them 😉

A nice post from @mbonnin.net on different the Kotlin version knobs you have at your disposal.
Comparison of benchmarking, profiling, and tracing in case you could use some clarity.

I continue to be amazed by coworkers doing cool work. Dany on my team found a really non-obvious deadlock in `androidx.room` JVM tests triggered by Kotlin coroutines library.

I think you mean build.gradle.kts files? 😉
It is the year 2026, people are still confused about compileSdk and targetSdk. (e.g. you can have targetSdk that is higher than compileSdk)

Maybe this will explain it a bit more.

🎤 Creator and maintainer of widely used Android and Kotlin libraries, Jake Wharton, is coming to KotlinConf'26!
His talk focuses on how command-line tools interface with modern terminals, and on exploring advanced terminal capabilities using Kotlin.
Taskmaster FTW
How bad can a single "❤️" emoji be?
Gradle now enables strict Gradle plugin validation for published plugins and automatically infers plugin id
Both are requests that I've pushed for!

Excited to see it land!
Amper has very limited usage so I don't know if that counts even if it also supports it.
Gradle constraints work. We heavily rely on it in androidx to do this kind of internal api sharing. Sadly it pretty much leaves every other build system at risk as .module files are not used outside of Gradle.
Size should be proportional to the user value gain. E.g. don't send MBs of analytics
I would also say it depends on what you are getting. If it is an image vs json you have very different expectations
Dude, you are the person in charge. Fix it!
