I turned a leak investigation into a post on the Block eng blog to share a method that works well!

It's a bit long... I had to show how to encode code knowledge to automate leak investigations, and dig even deeper with YourKit Java Profiler.

I did a thing that I suppose could be useful to others in the lead up to @droidcon.bsky.social London :)

tl;dr adds an extra copy action that removes the background and sets a different font size, ready to paste into Keynote.

Since we're doing this... I'll be giving a quick introduction to shaders and how they work. It's a topic that really excites (and scares, a bit) me, lately. I hope it'll get y'all excited too :) But not scared. Even though it's halloween.
