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!

When POM files lie

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.

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.
