GIỚI THIỆU VỀ TẬP NÀY
Do Android developers still need Android Studio, or just any IDE? With AI agents writing and navigating more of our code, the IDE’s role is changing. However some tools such as debuggers & profilers are hard to replace.
In this Fresh from the Oven episode, Nicola, Marco, and Paolo talk through that shift. Marco shares a preview of his upcoming droidcon London talk, “Do we still need Android Studio?”, and the three compare how they use IDEs, terminals, desktop agent apps, and command-line tools in their day-to-day work.
We dig into the features that still bring developers back to Android Studio, whether those tools should be available on their own, and how Android CLI is making more of the development workflow accessible to agents.
