Enter Modifier.onLayoutRectChanged:
The August '25 Compose release dropped 2D scrolling, better prefetching, and autoSize text.

🤯 Mind-blowing fact: Both OpenAI's and Anthropic's official JAVA SDKs are written entirely in Kotlin.
Let that sink in.
Companies building SDKs FOR Java developers chose Kotlin as the implementation language.
The Kotlin takeover is real 🫡

Hot take: Dependency Injection on Android just got a huge upgrade!!
Square just moved Anvil to maintenance mode to adopt Metro - a DI framework built by ONE PERSON that's 47-56% faster than Dagger+Anvil.
This is what "individual developers changing ecosystems" looks like 🧵

Even better: Built-in DI support (Hilt & Koin extensions) and works across all Compose Multiplatform targets.
Plus it's Chris Banes approved, which is basically a seal of quality in the Android world.

Resaca lets you scope ViewModels to individual composables:

You can only scope to Activity or navigation graphs, but Compose wants fine-grained components.

Hot take: If you figure out a way to improve your app's build times, you're basically working in Climate Tech now 😅
Every minute shaved off = less CO2, cooler laptops, and happier devs.
