  • With only 2 developers, CI/CD can be your best friend. Automate the daylights out of testing your code.

    Remember to tag your regression tests in some way - any test that is preventing a production bug that actually happened needs to be marked as a ‘regression’ and treated as high priority to keep passing.

    Treat all others tests as more art than science. Keep the reliable ones, toss out the brittle ones.

    Look for a network traffic recording/replay library for your toolchain. Reusing integration tests as unit tests is a huge time savings.

    If you have live data access, build yourself a few charts that represent a typical day. Knowing what “normal” looks like in your database can be priceless on a weird day.














  • I’m not sure, honestly.

    Charitably, we could assume it’s just from removing Google and various carriers background apps meant to improve my experience.

    Uncharitably, I have my suspicions. For the last five or so versions of Android something always seemed to be using processor cycles and battery when I wasn’t actually doing much with my phone.

    But I never saw evidence of usage data exfiltration via Google apps - at least after I turned off the related optional settings.

    In any case, switching to GrapheneOs was a startling and pleasant speed boost for me, whatever the real root cause.
