Our Dev Advocate, Ebony Louis, said “no thanks” and automated it by creating 2 MCP servers & 1 goose recipe.
Daily drafts, no duplicates, less work.

https://block.github.io/goose/blog/2025/11/21/social-media-agent-automationUsing an AI agent to migrate a codebase sounds great in theory, but in practice it can feel like an orchestrated lie.
Rizel Scarlett breaks down the messy, real steps she used to prompt goose to migrate a React and Node app to Next.js.

Sent the wrong prompt? No problem.
With goose, you can edit past messages and the convo continues like nothing happened.
It’s basically git rebase, but for your AI agent.
What if your AI agent could read real GitHub docs—not hallucinate them?
With the GitMCP extension Goose can:
✅ Pull live docs from any public repo
✅ Extract real setup + usage patterns
✅ Scaffold smarter, faster

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. 🚀

Ending Android USB Freezes
We investigated a main thread stall with perfetto and simpleperf, found that AOSP's USB stack can block garbage collection, and upstreamed a fix

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.
