Codex engineer here. Can you elaborate on what was confusing? I would love to make it more clear.

I used to work for Airbnb. When I left, I lost a few things like admin settings on the repo but they let me maintain it. Not sure what would happen if they didn’t… Nobody there has the time or context to do anything more than a rubber stamp.

Maintainer of Lottie for Android here. Because it’s maintained as a passion project on nights and weekends by a few people. This contribution a rare exception in that it was actually funded and built during work hours at Airbnb. I left Airbnb in 2018 but am still the sole maintainer of the Android library, for example.

Maintainer of Lottie for Android here. The vast majority of work on Lottie has been a passion project on nights and weekends. This particular contribution is actually the rare exception.

Maintainer of Lottie for Android here. I left Airbnb 5 years ago and have maintained the library 100% on nights and weekends for the past 6 years. I know your comment was sarcasm but fyi ;)

Tonal | Android, Go backend, more | SF, NYC, Toronto, Austin, LA https://www.tonal.com/ Tonal is the world's smartest home gym. It's a single device that mounts to your wall, has a giant screen (powered by Android), and uses an electromagnetic motor to provide up to 200lbs of resistance. It's genuinely one of the most incredible new consumer products on sale today. It works phenomenally well and we're just beginning to tap into the full potential of the hardware.

We're an engineer-founded company so strong engineering is at the roots of everything we do. I'm the engineering manager for the Android team. We work on everything you would touch and interact with on Tonal's screen.

I personally exclusively work out on Tonal and I'm stronger than I have ever been before. It's truly incredible what it's capable of.

We're hiring passionate product-minded Android engineers as well as nearly every other discipline (backend, data science, computer vision, dev ops, media streaming, iOS, Flutter (for our mobile app), and more).

I think that's exactly the problem because of things like this: https://twitter.com/ZacSweers/status/1259176799235387393?s=1...

I am the sole maintainer of airbnb/lottie-android despite the fact that I left the company almost 2 years ago and it is used by tens of thousands of companies including Google, Samsung, Microsoft, Uber, Netflix, and countless others.

Author of the Airbnb blog post here. Airbnb is fully invested in 100% native right now.

We wanted to leverage our existing infra to have a consistent experience between native and RN screens. For example, you want to have the same network cache.

You are comparing the wrong numbers. We had 120,000 lines of RN code but RN only accounted for 10-20% of our mobile engineering.
