Our engineers discovered USB barcode scanners were causing Android apps to freeze due to a garbage collection issue. Instead of just patching our own apps, we dug deep, found the root cause, and contributed the fix upstream to Android 16. The result? 40% improvement in our P90 latency + a fix that benefits the entire Android ecosystem. This is why we contribute to open source - when we make platforms better, everyone wins. 🚀
Poor fee estimates waste Bitcoin users' money, sometimes 10x more than necessary. We built Augur, a mempool-based fee estimator that cuts costs without compromising reliability. It's now open source. Used in production by Cash App. Available for everyone.
If you want to run multiple AI agents in parallel, Solomon Hykes believes isolated environments are essential. Otherwise, you're just babysitting bots. Full video in the thread 🧵
