Instagram Direct migrated its Android UI from the legacy Android View system to Jetpack Compose, creating an AI-native UI codebase that is easier for AI coding agents to understand, modify, and maintain. According to Instagram engineers, the migration reduced UI code volume by 50% and token costs per AI agent session by 33%.
One of Instagram engineers' key claims is that "designing an AI-native architecture led to significant wins". Rather than taking a piecemeal approach where agents are prompted to migrate individual components, the emphasis should be on evaluating whether the underlying architecture makes correct implementations easy to produce. In fact, as the engineers point out, "AI tools often take the path of least resistance", which is likely to introduce "subtle bugs, tech debt and performance regressions".

Server-Side DPoP and Token Exchange in Spring Security 7 - infoq.com
Spring Authorization Server now lives inside Spring Security 7 under the same Maven coordinates, so moving off 1.5.x is a version bump, rather than an artifact swap. Demonstrating Proof of Possession (DPoP) (RFC 9449) already worked end-to-end on Spring Security 6.5 with Spring Authorization Server 1.5. The real news on the 7.1 line is that resource-server verification is no longer automatic, so an app that relied on the old auto-applied behavior silently stops enforcing DPoP after upgrading until it adds the new .dPoP() call.
