  • What we have now is not “remote working”, it’s “apart working”

    Today I saw a tweet that resonated a lot with me I could not agree more. The whole COVID-19 lockdown created a weird situation where a lot of companies found themselves suddenly “without offices”. From one day to another, people that had always worked in an office were working from home; CEOs that were used…

  • Uninstall and Run in one shot in Android Studio

    As an Android developer, I live my life one repetitive task after another: Clean, RunUninstall, RunRestartClean, RestartRestart with Debugger Click here, click there. Tap on the phone. Open menu. Tap menu. It never ends. Plug-in to the rescue To ease up the pain, we developers tend to create tools and one of my trusty companions…

  • Push-to-talk on Meet – Part 2

    Let’s go physical! A couple of weeks ago, I published a post about adding Push-to-talk to Meet. I love that solution and I’m using all the time… or I was. The problem is that I cleaned my desk and I restored my home office setup due to the #coronavirus situation: As you can see, now…

  • Gerber E.A.B. – Travel-friendly knife… -ish

    I have always liked knives, since I got my first Victorinox when I was kid. The idea of carrying a Swiss Army Knife is so deep in my heart and brain that I can’t imagine myself without a multitool. Let’s be totally honest here. I grew up in the 90s, watching MacGyver pulling off the…

  • About attitude, personal growth and community

    It’s been quite a long time since I have been writing after a conference I joined as a speaker. Today something clicked and I felt like I had to put my thoughts down while driving back home from MobiConf (no worries, Francesca Bertola is actually driving the car 😂 ). The new opportunity A few…

  • SHIIIIIIIP IIIIIIT!!1!1!!

    When I joined AsanaRebel, I picked up the project and I started to navigate through the repository, focusing especially on the build.gradle file.
