Fundamentals of Dependency Injection

" summary

Argues that dependency injection itself, not Dagger, is the hard part and breaks the problem into concrete pieces: an object graph as a component (Dagger calls it component/Hilt uses ViewModelStore), generated providers not factories that can memoize instances for singleton-like lifetime, qualifiers for disambiguating strings (session ID vs API key), and child graphs/subcomponents for per-user wiring; shows the session ID bug from naive providers and recommends letting the DI compiler generate the plumbing.
