    holy shit, this is cool. IBM has a website that allows you to write programs and run them on a REAL quantum computer (5 qubits, one with 16 coming soon). And it's all FREE. This is seriously cool: quantumexperience.ng.bluemix.net/qx/experience

    Am I the only one that is kind of excited about the MS / GitHub talks? I mean I know that we're all supposed to hate them and all... but vscode and typescript are two of the best maintained OSS projects i've ever seen. MS is not the old MS anymore

    I've worked on Jetpack Compose for almost 4 years now, and am very happy to see our first stable 1.0 release today! Lots of great people put a ton of work into this to get to where we are today., It's a big milestone, but also just the beginning!

    Very happy to be able to say that I am now a Staff Software Engineer at Google! So not _everything_ in 2020 has been bad.

    Got a working port of React in both Swift and Kotlin. All native, but matching React's component API and RN's View/Text/Image APIs as close as possible. Getting closer to something that actually might be usable... eh?

    Bittersweet day for me. Today is my last day at Airbnb. Next week, I will be starting at Google working on some exciting new things for Android! It's sometimes hard to move on. I have loved my time at Airbnb. I'm super excited for the work to come though!

    This is going to be a year to remember for me, for more than one reason... But mostly just the one. I'm excited for this whole fatherhood thing!
