Today Iβm open-sourcing Dejavu!
Testing UI performance in Jetpack Compose is frustrating. We profile and watch tools, yet regressions still creep in.
I built Dejavu to make recomposition behavior something you can actually test.
oh this is neat af!

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder whyβ¦
I have had the most amazing month-and-half of my life
There are plenty of different tools to help you get started with this in #JetpackCompose, check out this article from Francesco to get started!

I'm not a conspiracist but I am so sure that some people somewhere sat down and planned this shit.

This post by Naoko on their experience with the Block layoff (not being cut but leaving anyway) is some hardcore shit. I cannot express how much respect I have for people who have a strong ethical compass and act decisively. π

I like this one
what a fucking day
today it's the ayotollah we all criticize.
tomorrow, it's Minneapolis, Chicago, Nuuk, Oslo, Berlin.
I encourage you all to challenge injustice, extra judicial killings, execuions, kidnapping rulers of other countries.
Most of you have heard about Block's 40% layoffs by now, but the numbers are even worse. Engineering was hit harder, we've lost close to 70% of our engineers. Our leadership is plagued by false promises of "intelligence". The company you once knew as a prolific OSS contributor no longer exists.
It's been a fun ride, but today is my last day at Block / Square. I started working with Android in 2014 and quickly grew to know Square for their engineering excellence and open source work.
ohhh man. sorry to hear that. I hope everything turns around in no time π«
Almost all of Cash Mobile Engineering was laid off today.
None of us have any clue what their rubric was for choosing who stayed and who went, but whatever it was, I'm on the job market again!
Thousands of good people were laid off by Block (Square and Cash App) today by their chickenshit leadership. Hire them, this is all Block's loss.
hugs to the friends at square & sister companies π«
> "we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving"
imagine saying this in a note announcing layoffs.
"It's only called legit distillation if it comes from the silicon valley region of California"

for all intents and purposes, anthropic can gtfo.
now they're complaining about unauthorized access and use of data?
Omg it's pancake day already?
That really crΓͺped up on me.
Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?
1. Yiannis has a larger vocabulary than most Americans. His vocab overlaps more with highly educated Kenyan, Nigerian, and Indian people than the average American. Delve!
2. Don't play Yiannis at Scrabble. Don't challenge him to a Spelling Bee. You will lose.
3. Detectors will false positive him.π€·πΏββοΈ

Every time I see a post like this I go ask a developer I know at that company if it's true and every single time it's misleading at best, if not outright horse shit.
