Last week I wrote about the benefits of starring issues filed against Android Studio. This time, I have a quick update on a previous tidbit.

Thanks for reading, and tune in next week for an exciting Rx-related tidbit! And, please follow me on Medium if you’re interested in being notified of future tidbits.

This tidbit was discovered on July 2, 2020.
