Happy Holidays friends! 🎁
For me holiday also came with a gift.. after 10 days of iteration I was able to build a basic app for my kiddo to practice math problems.
Reinventing the wheel is always fun! 🤓

This is impressive! 🤓
Other changes include the usual bug fixes and improvements. Something I'm regularly excited by is how many people are contributing to Metro (11 in this release alone!)

JetBrains idea integration for both Copilot and Junie is subpar experience compared to CLI versions or VS Code.
I keep going back and forth with VS Code because of how well the integration works for Copilot.

I sure didn't expect myself to find on top here! 🫣
By no means I am a DI expert, and this is not a comprehensive search and analysis on GitHub.
However, I do love @zacsweers.dev's journey on Metro! 🚇

It's December 🎄 and year is almost over.
2025 has been the year of applied AI in life! It definitely has empowered me to do more! 💪🏽
Don't know what the future holds, however I hope that we find a way to lift everyone's lives for better! 🙏🏽

I randomly bumped into one of the talk and hear speaker mention two of the hardest challenge in software engineering:
1. Naming things
2. Cache invalidation
Couldn't agree more on these two! 😅

Cash Android has recently switched to Metro, a new, fast dependency injection framework built for K2. That was a fun project and we're really happy with the results! Sharing details on how we approached the migration to help teams adopt Metro: code.cash.app/cash-android...

I only got respect for Apple - being able to run chome, gradle, android studio with emulator on 8GB ram & fan-less laptop! few years ago, it would be a pipe dream!

This is fantastic and @zacsweers.dev deserves all the praise but it also is gonna give you a false idea of what Z is like as a maintainer and author, what the project is like, and how you might achieve something like this yourself
Hot take: Dependency Injection on Android just got a huge upgrade!!
Square just moved Anvil to maintenance mode to adopt Metro - a DI framework built by ONE PERSON that's 47-56% faster than Dagger+Anvil.
This is what "individual developers changing ecosystems" looks like 🧵

Whats the point of using fast UFS drives in phones if it can't deliver same throughput via USB-C connection? Why are we still using MTP on Android!!!
Waiting for 1 hour+ to transfer 20GB files from recent Pixel 9 series is insane! 😞

Six months ago, I was tinkering with the idea of re-using my tablet as second TRMNL
Now that idea is in GitHub with 50+ stars helping others do the same.
And today, it's available on Google Play! 🎉
