"Dispatch is a must read for Android devs today and my go-to for keeping up with all things Jetpack Compose. I eagerly await each issue, not just for the Compose gems honestly but for Vinay's unique insights, stories, and finds. The Dev Delight and Featured Dev sections are particular favorites of mine! He really should do a podcast."
