Looking Back on August 2018

This article was translated from Japanese by Claude Code.

2018 is now about 70% over(´ε`;)ウーン…

It’s now September 10, 2018. You have 113 days left this year. That’s 30.9%.

Let me quickly reflect on August.

What I Did in August
#

Participated in Potatotips #54

I presented about motif (pronounced “motif”), a DI library that Uber recently open-sourced. It’s a library that sacrificed Dagger’s extensibility in exchange for expressing scoping nesting more concisely. Internally, Dagger is used for code generation around DI.

Participated in Mobile CI/CD Meetup

I presented about how to implement caching for each build in Bitrise. Bitrise has Cache-push and Cache-pull steps pre-configured, and using these makes it easy to leverage caching. Also, when using this caching feature for builds, there are times when you want to run a full build instead of from cache. I presented how we dealt with that situation.

Started Pair Programming with the Android Team

We’re trying 30 minutes each on Wednesdays and Fridays. So far, there are various discoveries and learnings, and it feels great. I’d like to share more about this on the blog etc.

  • Went to Thailand

I went with my usual friend group.

We went to night markets and islands.

And the Pad Thai was delicious!

  • Among other things, I worked with excellent interns, went to KotlinFest, and more, but with the spirit of “done is better than perfect,” I’m sharing up to here for now.

I want to write blog posts in smaller installments going forward.

Anyway, thanks for August! (`・ω・´)ゞ
