What makes @goose_oss position elite is how quickly it entered this bracket. While 95% of the projects ahead of it took 5-12 years to cross the 40K mark 🪿 managed to breach this leaderboard tier in a year making it one of the fastest growing repositories in GitHub history $XYZ
Out of the roughly 630 million repositories hosted on GitHub, there are approximately 180 to 200 active projects that have more stars than @goose_oss AI's 47,000. This places 🪿 roughly within the top 0.00003% of all repositories on the platform @blocks $XYZ

🪿 @goose_oss has 47,000 GitHub ⭐️ putting it in a very elite tier of high velocity open-source repositories. To put 47,000 GitHub ⭐️ into perspective: it doesn't just mean a project is "popular." It places the repository in the top 0.01% of all active projects on Earth $XYZ

Many, myself included, initially failed to appreciate goose 🪿.
At first, it felt like another @jack passion project being built with company resources. Jack didn’t help that perception by describing it as "giving back to the open-source community". That made it sound more like a charity project than a serious business initiative.
But forcing employees to adopt Goose early -- and giving them reps before the tools were fully mature -- created invisible benefits that were impossible to measure at the time.
Now those benefits are starting to show up: higher velocity, better execution, and higher-quality output.
The common complaint was that employees were being force-fed Goose and AI before the tools were ready. That criticism was fair. The tools weren’t ready.
But Block chose to endure the awkward phase early.
Now that the tools are becoming ready (🪿 is pretty good too), the entire organization is already flying with them, while companies that waited for AI to be "ready" are only just getting started.
Block undoubtedly is one of the most "AI-fluent" companies in the S&P 500.
That should eventually translate into earnings -- and then into the stock price.

the cash app card took one of the most boring objects in your pocket and made it something people actually wanted to show off.
materials, colors, personalization, the whole thing turned a payment card into a fashionable object. visible, social, personal, and weirdly lovable. but even the best card has a problem: it still lives in your wallet. tucked away, hidden, withering away. so we freed it.
today we’re introducing Cash App Tags, nfc-enabled physical payment accessories that live outside your wallet, out in the world.
the first tag is a wand, because tapping to pay should feel a little more like magic. not to worry, more forms coming throughout the summer.
Tremendous amount of capital getting squeezed out of the market to make room for SpaceX IPO. This is an incredible ‘buy the dip’ opportunity for @blocks and other equities getting crushed this week $XYZ
Afterpay on Cash App Card is live 🚀
When we started Afterpay the bet was simple: pay-over-time should be transparent and available to everyone - not hidden in fine print.
Today that's built into the Cash App Card.
3 in 5 pilot customers came back at least 5x. This is what the combination of Afterpay and Cash App was always meant to unlock.
CASH APP AND AFTERPAY NOW LET YOU PAY OVER TIME ALMOST ANYWHERE VISA IS ACCEPTED
$XYZ is pushing Buy Now, Pay Later into the mainstream by letting users split payments on pretty much any purchase that takes Visa through Cash App and Afterpay.
Yes @jack is in the process of building @blocks into a megacap fintech powerhouse. The path of least resistance is a sale and a board seat. Would be better in the short term for shareholders
