Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.

Every tech CEO handling moderation this week 🤦‍♂️

Video is already up (!!) youtu.be/jVfmtVKa604?...

Here are the slides for the "Navigating Dependency Injection with Metro" talk I just gave at DroidKaigi. Great conference and super well-organized. speakerdeck.com/zacsweers/na...

Navigating Dependency Injection with Metro by @zacsweers.dev at #DroidKaigi

Couple Metro patches today! 0.6.5 - new @Origin annotation API + a bugfix 0.6.6 - same as 0.6.5 but targeting Kotlin 2.2.20 and another fix for conflicting overrides that relies on a fix in the compiler that came in 2.2.20 github.com/ZacSweers/me... github.com/ZacSweers/me...

What a surprise www.theverge.com/news/773928/...

Today I ran a race down 5th ave, hung out in Central Park, got coffee in Hell’s Kitchen, played soccer in east river park, got bbq in Williamsburg, and now flying to Tokyo from JFK. Life in NYC’s feeling very rich today

Our KMP framework App Platform now supports Metro out of the box: github.com/amzn/app-pla... @zacsweers.dev is pushing the boundaries with Metro and there are still some Kotlin compiler bugs that need to be resolved, but on the JVM / Android it works.

Crenshaw's district in Houston is literally gerrymandered in such a way to avoid including Greenspoint, a neighborhood locally nicknamed Gunpoint.

Killing their own children to own the libs

Slack people were affected by this too, and not just customer service roles. The AI claim is obviously bogus. Tech media should do better than just accept claims like this at face value, make CEOs own (the consequences of) their decisions. www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/s...

Google product development in 2025

Wrote a lot of thoughts on junior developers, AI, and what I strongly feel is going to become the defining challenge of our industry's next generation. www.zacsweers.dev/forklifts-re...

Still a miler at 33

Metro 0.6.0 is out now with revamped graph extensions, lazier validation, a bunch of improvements to Dagger interop, and a ton of bugfixes! The biggest change here is graph extensions are no longer detached and wired much more like dagger subcomponents now. github.com/ZacSweers/me...

Can't say they didn't warn us

Always ask why the position was available

Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her

Last day at Slack! Nothing planned next yet, gonna enjoy some time off 🌴

A 16yr old kid from east Texas ran 1:42.27 for 800m today. I can’t even begin to describe what an insane stat that is

Metro 0.5.4 finishes aligning @ContributesGraphExtension APIs with @DependencyGraph and has improved support for repeatable annotations. Plus the usual long list of bugfixes! github.com/ZacSweers/me...

This talk was great youtu.be/bkd6EAPIVe0

Metro 0.5.3 has a million bugfixes and some important behavior changes 🚇 github.com/ZacSweers/me...

Droidcon NYC videos are up! I was on a panel about dependency injection and also hosted a panel on build systems, enjoy! www.droidcon.com/2025/07/23/t... www.droidcon.com/2025/07/23/b...

PROTIP: put it in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties and never deal with it again

This is a fantastic post. distantprovince.by/p...

I migrated our entire codebase over to it last week, and we’re now fully on the Metro train. 💺 It has pretty much everything y’all will need, right now.

Metro wouldn’t be where it is without the road that Anvil paved before it. I’ve really enjoyed working with Joel and Jacob on several Metro features already, with @ralf-wondratschek.com in its early design phase, and really looking forward continuing to work with all of them. Future’s bright 🚇

Anvil is approaching the icebox, long live Metro. github.com/square/anvil...

Excited to share I’ll be speaking at DroidKaigi in September about Metro 🚇 First time visiting Japan, can’t wait 🇯🇵

Metro 0.5.0 has binding containers! ...and a whole bunch of other goodies 😁 github.com/ZacSweers/me...

@sarahjeong.bsky.social oh my god I may need to add Verge to my subscriptions. 🤣

It's been a minute but want to re-share @danlew42.bsky.social's evergreen post about the LOGAF scale. I've found it super helpful over the years in defusing work/OSS discussions. blog.danlew.net/2020/04/15/t...

The New York Times' obsession with a view from nowhere is long-standing, but as Republicans increasingly circulate insane conspiracy theories and racist nonsense, the cult of centrism has taken a self-destructive turn. Read more from @lopatto.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/culture/7000...

A zoomer at work mentioned they didn't realize what "classifieds" meant in a channel name so I said I could rename it to #buy-it-bestie. The other zoomers have now informed me that name was so good that I did, in fact, ate

It's so weird how everyone who says they're "politically homeless" is a far right winger who lives in NY or CA and still wants to get invited to parties

hey, you ever re-read the Declaration of Independence? some fascinating stuff in there www.theverge.com/policy/69730...

the bill does nothing for the American people except give a rogue government agency limitless resources to put them in camps

I'm very quickly coming around to the feeling that claude code (or other AI tools/agents) generated tests are at least 50% useless. It seems incredibly reluctant to write meaningful tests, often just stubbing things like this.

why am i not surprised he doesn’t understand that no means no

New York fucking city baby

"We just watched a watershed moment in New York City history." @michaellangenyc.bsky.social on our livestream just now

New York or Nowhere baby

I'm hosting a panel on build systems at DroidCon NYC Thursday with Nari Shin (Hinge), Iñaki Villar (Gradle), @jschear.dev (Block), & @erikkerber.bsky.social (Slack). Would love to get some early community input on what stuff you'd like to hear from these folks (modularization, bazel, xplat, etc!)

Hot on the heels of Kotlin 2.2, Metro 0.4.0 is out now and it's a big one! - Private constructor injection - Automatic discovery of scoped class contributions to parent graphs - Significantly improved support for generic and member injection - Tons of fixes/enhancements github.com/ZacSweers/me...

The response should've just been "It's ok I know JD gets confused sometimes 🛋️"
