4. Motivation preface A story about overhead
5. Motivation After some years coding Android Maintainable Decoupled Testable SRP
6. Motivation After some years coding Android Maintainable Decoupled Testable SRP Starting to worry about: Overhead
7. Goal: Reduce overhead
8. Goal: Reduce overhead tools Shortcuts Live Templates
9. Productivity “Levels” Three tiers of Productivity Insanity • Tier 0: Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Double Shift, Compile, Run • Tier 1: Plenty of shortcuts, some live templates also • Tier 2: Obsessed with Live templates, continuous improvement of the arsenal
