Last week I asked you about Android Intents.

An Intent is a way to define and describe an operation to be performed. They have broad uses like starting activities, sending SMS/emails, opening web pages, and more.

There are two types of intents in Android:

Explicit Intents

Implicit Intents

Imposter syndrome is a common point of discussion and thought among developers at all stages of careers. I’ve personally dealt with it before and have thankfully been able to overcome it. The way I was able to do so is by realizing that I am able to put forth the effort and energy to learn new things. Then applying these new learnings to the task causing those negative emotions.

Today’s quote mirrors this way of thinking. You have faced tough challenges before and in some way survived them. Applying those same techniques can help you face your current challenges. Just as the future is unknown, you must trust that you have the ability to meet it.

Join the discussion on Twitter where I’ll be posting more about Kotlin and Android.

Remember to stay hydrated and have a great week!

Thanks for reading!
