@dankim Awesome. Thanks Dan!

@AutonomousApps @yogurtearl Big fan of rebase pre-pr, merge in pr, then squash-merge on close. Ticks all the boxes for me.

ADB Idea 1.6.0 is out with two new fancy commands to toggle wi-fi and mobile data. You can thank @_tiwiz for this contribution! Also fixes compatibility with the current Android Studio 4.1 alpha. Available in a plugin repository near you.

@TTGonda @shekibobo @JorgeCastilloPr Sure, I'd be more than happy to see a PR! @_tiwiz contributed something following the a similar pattern recently, it should serve as a good base: https://t.co/Tt8w9QfBM3

@gpeal8 @donnfelker It was nothing scientific. There was a noticeable performance degradation on my 2015 mbp in clamshell mode when driving two thunderbolt displays. Replacing one monitor by the laptop screen felt faster and allowed the fans to stop at idle.

Had an interesting conversation today with a colleague about the optimal way to run Stand-ups and I got to the conclusion that if you are trying to optimize for cycle time, the best style of standup you can run is usually Walk the Board. Let me explain why

If there’s one lesson I would like the next generation of developers to learn, it is to spend less time doing hard things and more time making hard things easy. Customers benefit from the former. Customers and peers and we ourselves benefit from the latter.

@whoisgraham @TheEarlOfEgo Do a check for update from studio and it should pick it up.

[Philippe Breault @pbreault]

Adb Idea 1.5.2 is out with a great quality of life fix: When there are multiple devices connected, you’ll now see the devices’ names. No need to guess the right target solely from the serial number anymore! Thank you @TheEarlOfEgo for contributing this.

[Philippe Breault @pbreault]

@LukeSleeman No, sorry, I lost that code a long time ago...
Let me know if you roll your own, I'd be interested to hear about the results!

[Philippe Breault @pbreault]

@_mattlogan I had a blast working with you. Best of luck!

Ever wondered what activity you are currently on? adb shell to the rescue!

scrcpy by @Genymobile is my new best friend. It's just the fastest way to get your device's display on your computer. `brew install scrcpy` then Type `scrcpy` in your terminal to see the screen of any device connected through adb! https://t.co/H3wWiOH7kn

"In a multi-module project, searching for the right build.gradle can be tricky."

You can make your build files easily distinguishable with just a few lines in settings.gradle.
