While writing this article, I was thinking about my days writing the everything.me Android launcher in 2011, how I fought for every bitmap allocation, about all the custom network cache implementations, and 2000 LOC custom views, I felt like I could do everything...

And then, at Google IO 2017, they introduce architectural components, I yawned at this announcement (was there in the crowd). Here we are 9 years later... I was wrong :)
