I'm quite proud of what I accomplished with my team at Amazon and will miss them. I'll keep working on App Platform as much as I can thanks to open source! amzn.github.io/app-platform/

Metro is conceptional very similar to Dagger + Anvil and kotlin-inject-anvil, which made this migration easy. I expect most new development to happen for Metro, so I wouldn't use kotlin-inject-anvil for new projects anymore.

Today I learned that Cleanse from Square was deprecated. I haven't tried Needle yet, but it makes the same promises as Dagger.

Singleton in the scope by default, based on the large codebases I've seen. I've written @SingleIn way too often and explained way too often why a class doesn't need to be a Singleton. I want this to be explicit.

It would increase the pressure on Google to ship libraries with CMP from the beginning. I don't see them making such an investment at this point in time. At least they put the right abstractions in place to support CMP, which is already a big win.
