I've been using Compose Multiplatform for a while and, as usual, when learning something new I like to know how things work.

So, despite many good libraries being out there, I always try to find my way to implement a given feature.

No need to reinvent the wheel but understanding the internals makes you more confident also when you're using third party software.

Here's what I learnt about handling permissions, hope it may help someone.

A man stands nervously before an angel with a laptop. Angel says: "It says here you should be in hell but since you were a backend developer we will consider that as time served." The humor of the image relies on the stereotype that backend developer is a difficult and unpleasant job.

@romainguy It feels almost ubelievable since, as far as I can remember you've always been in the Android team.
Albeit being sad for the android community losing a fundamental point of reference, I'm happy for you and your future life, whatever it would set aside and what your next adventure would be. Wish you all the best for the upcoming months of travel and photography and beyond

@marcogom Congrats Marco!
