“No AI, no AI companies, AI-based products, or forced AI usage for development.” In his new interview, Jake Wharton explains why this principle matters to him, and what concerns him about the way AI is changing software development. ▶️ youtube.com/watch?v=9WjPdgOK…

"This was a massive undertaking that took well over a year." Native app development was hard, is hard, and will probably remain hard for complex apps, for good reason. AI helps with a lot of stuff, but it won't magically solve hard engineering problems, exhibit #1
Today we're announcing the completion of one of the largest engineering projects in the company's history: We rebuilt the X Android app from scratch It's faster, smoother and more reliable. But most of all: it will enable us to build new features at lightning speed.

i love how people are saying "if we write a sufficiently detailed specification, the agent can write all our code" do you know what writing a sufficiently detailed specification that deterministically maps to what a computer's actions is? it's coding

Lay offs are being handed out like souvenirs and it seems it's my turn. My employer closed its German office and a ton of talented engineers including myself were laid off 👋🏾. If you know of anyone in the market for an extremely talented Mobile IC (or EM), send them my way! ❤️

After 8 years of Android KTX, it's being killed. "The KTX libraries were killed because the adoption of Kotlin has been such a resounding success. All extensions have now been merged directly into their respective main library" jakewharton.com/an-update-on…

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit. My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently. So, here goes.

You buy a stock for a quick scalp then it dumps 50%… cos you can’t sell for a loss, you’re become a long-term investor attending AGMs and asking management about their corporate vision.

I know she’s feeling vindicated af rn
In a new quantum experiment, scientists saw something that challenges everything we think we know about time. Instead of flowing forward like a river, time seemed to loop and fold back on itself. Particles behaved as if their future could affect their past, blurring the line between cause and effect in ways that defy ordinary understanding. This strange behavior was observed through quantum entanglement a phenomenon where two particles remain mysteriously linked, no matter how far apart they are. When scientists changed how they measured one particle, it seemed to alter the history of its partner retroactively. It’s as if “now” and “then” exist together, constantly reshaping each other in a single, connected moment. The findings hint that time may not be a one-way path but a flexible structure that bends and connects distant events. Your choices don’t rewrite your past, but on a quantum level, the universe might not follow the rules of linear order at all. Reality could be stranger than we’ve ever imagined.

We built a custom animatable, collision-aware, collapsible annotation system on Google Maps. Huge UX improvement but we lost tilt support along the way. We finally cracked the math and extended our projection calculations adding a whole new dimension to the map. Just gorgeous.
