A palette cleanser for your timeline today: Introducing Metro!

Metro is a compiler-plugin-based dependency injection framework that draws heavy inspiration from Dagger, Anvil, & Kotlin-Inject.

I've been working on it for a few months now! Quietly open-sourced in February and published the first release today. I'm really proud of it and excited to share it.

Bonus: we quietly added support for Metro in Circuit's code gen in a previous release. Just change the code gen mode to "METRO" :). Example integration can be found in my Field Spottr app: https://github.com/ZacSweers/FieldSpottr/pull/158

And last but not least: a huge thank you to the many people in the community that helped advise on the design and test this!
Brian Norm, @ralf, @jessewilson , @DanyAguacate, @pixellight, @billjings, Bryan Stern, @jbarr21, and many more!

Turbo Pascal turns 41. who here remembers this one?

The datapoint that the top 16% of remote workers outperform the top 5% in-office while the bottom 12% of remote workers underperform the bottom 5% in-office seems intuitive.

If you’re a top performer then gaining 1-2 hours a day from not commuting makes you more productive. If you’re the kind of person who needs help to get the basics done, then being on Slack versus in the office is worse.

RTO is penalizes top performers due to underperformers not being able to handle the freedom.

@rjrjr @zachklipp I feel obligated to step in and join team Olive Oil, I'm guessing salt doesn't even count.

It's that time of year when I need a new idea for a jack o'lantern--one that accommodates the pesky squirrels that always eat my pumpkins. Here are the ones from past years. #Halloween #pumpkins #squirrels

Giant Corporations™ are scraping my little git server to feed their ever-hungry, planet-destroying plagiarism machines.

So now, instead of getting my code, they get a 10GB treat.

Fucking THIEVES.

@zachklipp @gakisstylianos @zsmb13 @pixellight I don't want to do a plug about work, but if you keep talking about payments I'll have to 😅

Hey folks, I'm considering attending #droidcon NY, who's gonna be there for me to meet?

My dudes, Telegram is not an e2e messaging app like Signal or WhatsApp. Telegram is more like Twitter. It is a social media app that is mostly public content that also happens to have DMs, where you can turn on e2e messaging with questionable cryptography that most people never even bother to use.

#AndroidDev in #Chicago, we have a couple open positions in the team if you are interested.

@saket @chrishorner Steam Deck OLED is one of the best purchases I made recently

Google can either permit GrapheneOS in the Play Integrity API in the near future via the approach documented at https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide or we'll be taking legal action against them and their partners. We've started the process of talking to regulators and they're interested.
