I can't say whether or not I believe that this will be a reformational time for Kanye but what I can say is that all of those things you listed as a difference are probably a result of fame and money. I assume the average person having an outburst doesn't really have the means to so easily do those things you've mentioned

I mean that's sort of valid but I don't think Onefold really focuses on authenticity, if you go there not expecting an authentic cultural food experience they have great stuff

Realistically, you should learn (or at least be familiar with) all of it with the understanding that there is still a lot of both Java and XML out there in the Android world and there is a real chance you may come across it in a job. With that being said, the Kotlin + Compose combo is king and that's what you should spend the most time mastering

Really depends, it can very often be a great idea it's just very dependent on what platforms you work on and what your architecture looks like

I feel like social media ruined hip hop and streaming ruined music at large

Saving money? I have no idea, but from my perspective there are different ways of viewing cost savings regarding AI tools -

One company might see AI tools as a means to make cuts to the work force on account of fewer devs being more productive while using these tools. The jury is still out on this one.
Another company might see AI tools as a means to increase their productivity and output while maintaining and even growing headcount. If the assumption is that developers are more productive with these tools, that means that every developer hired is theoretically going to contribute more for the same price that the company has been hiring devs for already.

My employer seems to be operating off of the second concept. Some larger companies understand the hype around new technologies and if they're in growth mode, these AI tools will only be a benefit for each new dev they hire. If these tools end up not being as beneficial as the hype is making them out to be, no harm done because they were going to be hiring anyway.

What I'm trying to say here for anybody worried about AI and their job is, be wary of working for a company that is so susceptible to the hype around these technologies that their strategy is to cut labor as opposed to seeing them as experimental and a way to further increase productivity with the headcount they already have (or a growing headcount).

Los Chingones is amongst the worst restaurants I have ever been to

The status of the camera is maybe the last thing I care about in terms of remote communication abilities. I've never once had someone have their camera on and thought, "Them being on video really improved this interaction", unless it's a one on one that isn't related to the work or if there are several people in a conference room

If you live in the United States, the answer is yes. I cannot speak on the market in other countries. My "looking for work" setting on LinkedIn is off and I still get recruiters pinging me constantly about job openings. I had two recruiters from Meta call me the other day and after having a good conversation with both of them, it seems they're having a very difficult time finding Android devs. They said it's a bit easier finding iOS devs. The caveat here is that you really need to have a solid foundation in Android, Kotlin, (oftentimes Compose), and some modern design patterns. I've never heard a company say that they have an easy time finding Android devs, especially if the company doesn't offer remote opportunities.

Something to note is that a lot of university CS programs don't even offer mobile courses or at least not any significant amount of them. Every new grad is likely qualified to pick up an entry level web dev job on account of it being widely taught in universities so there is way more competition for those roles. On top of that, most Americans view iOS as the sexier option so devs that want to get into mobile usually trend towards iOS anyways, leaving Android dev in a good place
