Lightning talk version of https://speakerdeck.com/shyish/the-bleeding-edge-of-android-development made with love for the #Freakend2017

Video (in spanish): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI3_drvENEI

Hyped by that new library? Do you want to follow the trend and implement a new technology because of reasons?

With this talk I try to show a different point of view of all this trends regarding new technologies and the price of using them without proper thinking.

43. How? Sum up Regarding new technology(libs/patterns/frameworks/languages): • Implementation and maintenance always comes with a cost, don’t just include them because of the “trend” (Time investment). • They provide solutions for problems, consider using them when they solve one or when the benefit is bigger than the cost (Value). ◦ ButterKnife ◦ Kotlin ◦ Rxjava • Think about how complicated is the implementation (+is it a big change?). Plus check how well maintained is the lib (+do you understand it?) (Risk)
