    I learned a ton about Java and pragmatic algorithm development from reading Dagger (https://github.com/square/dagger) and porting it to C#. It's small enough that you can grok it in a reasonable amount of time, but sophisticated enough that there's a lot to learn. (Yes it's deprecated in favor of Dagger 2, but the latter is a tougher slog IMO)

    Actually most of the big Square OSS libraries are great to read - okio, okhttp, picasso.

  • Back in Android Dev after 2 years, how to make myself employable?

    The reason for that is that we had authority to throw out the garbage code created by the "Previous Senior Android Developers" who were no longer available, and had thrown in completely pointless things like "platform-agnostic domain module" throwing all state into static global singletons in a global "data" module, "AndroidAnnotations" and whatnot for us to throw out (and other things we had to fix).
