Why this approach? We're giving you the flexibility you need. Instead of a pre-built UI, you get robust, tested state logic. This ensures your custom controls are perfectly synced with playback. Reliability of Media3 creative freedom of Compose = 🤩

Seems like this was my last ride @VanMoof. It's time to start looking for a new challenge as iOS developer. I have just over a decade of experience working on consumer facing products, working as a web dev, product designer and iOS dev.
LMK if you're looking for someone like me!

Any clue what measurements Modifier.size(100).size(50) resolves to? And, more importantly, why? In this episode I'll dive deep into Constraints and the role they play in the layout phase of #JetpackCompose. Let me know if you have any questions!
