Building for Developers
summary
Practical playbook: a lifecycle-managed RxJava library called Auto dispose that removes unsubscribe boilerplate, ships a test-only artifact for fake lifecycle events, and keeps public APIs as interfaces so integrations are testable and resilient. Teams segment users into head torso tail personas to focus effort vs value. Emphasis on semantic versioning, deprecation with replace-with quick fixes, conservative third‑party deps, lightweight binaries, and crash‑first failure modes so the library does not harm apps.
