236: A Terminal for Android?
10/25/22 • 38 min
In this episode, Donn and Kaushik talk about the thought of having a terminal for Android.

In this episode, Donn and Kaushik dive into the details of what that might look like and why they find it intriguing.

In this episode, Donn and Kaushik talk about their thoughts on Jetpack Compose and XML for Android layouts and which one you should learn first.
As with every conversation in tech ... it depends on what you're trying to do, where you are at in your career, what the company is doing and more.
