Hey everyone,

I'm excited to share iCore, a new library designed to streamline Android application development with modular and reusable components. iCore supports the MVVM architecture and provides base classes, extension functions, and various utility classes to reduce code duplication and speed up the development process.

Key Features:

• Reducing Code Duplication: By abstracting commonly used operations, it prevents the writing of repetitive code.

• Quick Start: With ready-to-use core components, it allows for a quick start to projects.

• Easy Integration: Easily integrates common operations like Retrofit, LiveData observation, and theme/language selection.

• Reactive Data Management with Kotlin Flow and LiveData: iCore manages asynchronous data streams using Kotlin Flow and handles UI updates with LiveData, offering a more reactive and modern data processing model.

• Extensive Extensions: Its extensible structure allows for customization according to application needs.

• Centralized Management: Provides centralized management by allowing easy access to application resources with ResourceProvider.

I'm looking forward to your feedback and contributions. Happy coding!

Highlights

Alright, here is purely my takeaway from what I gleaned. It's not comprehensive by any means, so better watch the video first!

• 🤏 Meritocracy
  • Misconceptions to make you marketable: "10x dev", "1% top software developers", etc.
  • These YouTubers don't want you to know that the world is unfair.
  • Students and AI fear as a market.
• 💸 Money
  • Mere numbers to bait clicks: "75+ LPA", "HIGHEST SALARIES", etc.
  • Skill gap is the silent part.
• 📈 Trend chasing
  • Fearmongering is popular as ever.
  • Videobloggers plant the seed in unsuspecting minds and then retract when it bites them.
• 💩 Bashing specific technologies
  • Saying "PHP bad" just because they use framework for unintended designs.
  • Switching involves burning previous technology, somehow.
• 😓 Regret videos
  • Bad message: software engineering is a race with finish line.
  • Trying to be relatable to the viewer by demonstratively showing resignation.
    • Regret about not knowing something.
    • Regret about using technology.
• 👻 Scare marketing
  • Fake pretence of machine replacing certain or all kinds of developers.
