Hi, Jane here! I hope you like this profile of me :) It has been delightful to watch different approaches companies take to enrich, optimize and harden their web and mobile apps. For example, Facebook has been dogfooding a new approach to improve the overhead in their mobile apps since last year. I speculate (or hope) they will announce it during F8 2019 in coming days.

Have you done any analysis of job ads to see whether they give you insights into the product strategy of a company? I know you can’t uncover specific features from them, but it might offer clues into their priorities or roadmap. Just a thought.

  My focus has been analysing within the scope of apps and its code. But I do read tech news of journalists' analysis on job ads, and note that down for future references

What's your preference for tools to go about this? I've found some dex decompilation to be very hit and miss. Just wondering what is your go to/process for android and iOS if you don't mind sharing ? Cheers

  I usually implement lexers on my own to solve specific needs because some apps move so rapidly the existing solutions couldn't keep up

Question: why don’t you profit from this either with the stock market or selling info to companies? What is your motivation for doing this anyway since it takes significant time and skill?

Looking at your site for the first time, my immediate thought was: How has FB not hired you already?
