I didn’t intentionally aim to create a rhyming title, but there you have it. Each year, I look forward to Google I/O like a kid going back to school. This year was no exception. I watched as many videos as I could that were related to App Quality, Firebase Crashlytics, and Jetpack Compose. Here’s what I think engineering leaders should know.
Key takeaways
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning dominate. Hiring these engineers will remain unbelievably competitive
- App quality matters and will impact your success on Google Play
- Large screens aren’t going away any time soon. Designers will need to adapt
- User data privacy changes are coming fast and furious
- Jetpack Compose: learn it or get left behind
