The culture at @GoogleLabs is unreal. I pitched an idea. Coworker: "Cool, let's build it." <immediately opens laptop>. We were testing it in under an hour. This bias for action is everything.

Stop parsing query parameters with location.search. This Object.fromEntries() + URLSearchParams combination provides you an object interface for all query params. This is the way.

Project IDX just got a ton of upgrades. Seriously, a ton. React Native in-browser, AI for comments/tests, database templates, AI agent & Gemini templates. Oh and Android Studio in-browser is coming soon. Here's a rundown.
