Thanks to Kotlin Weekly for featuring my video!

I've only been using this setup for a few days, but so far I find it much more capable for working remotely from my phone than what I've had with Codex or Claude Code. 3/3

Less than a week ago, I discovered pi-web.dev Now I have a PWA on my phone giving me access to multiple machines in my Tailscale network, each running Pi. I can open it, pick a machine, start a chat, and work from my phone. 2/3

I've been using pi.dev for quite some time now, and I love it for multiple reasons. Same with @tailscale.com . Being able to connect my remote machines with Tailscale was already cool, but SSHing from my phone and trying to develop in a terminal was a bit annoying. 1/3

My @wearedevelopers.bsky.social talk is online!🎥 Tomb rAIder: AI Search with Kotlin It's about vector search and when semantic similarity alone isn't enough for real-world search. Embeddings, structured filters, local LLMs and all built with #kotlin.👇 www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1989-...

Tomb rAIder: AI Search with Kotlin

Pure vector search fails at hard constraints like strict price limits. Master a hybrid AI search pipeline in Kotlin to deliver highly accurate query results.

You won't know unless you try it 😉. However, to be honest, the more we become accustomed to agents, the less we do pairing 😔

Dmytro Kurets. DareDev 🇺🇦 @daredev.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Coincidentally, I saw this message from @martinfowler.com. I especially agree with mob and pair programming. Even before AI agents, they used to cut down on code review wait time. Reviewing "because that's ceremony" shouldn't be the default. 🤷‍♂️ bsky.app/profile/mart...

Decided to upgrade my Raspberry PI and bought a new one. Got lazy and asked Codex to set it up for me. Zero effort to move everything from the Pi 4, set it up on the 5, and have it all running. Took about 10 minutes. I like this kind of lazy.

"Tests are no longer even remotely optional" (c) Simon Willison If anything, AI-assisted development made me more strict about testing, not less. AI can generate 200 lines in seconds. Without tests, you have no idea if any of it actually works — and neither does the AI. No excuses. Write the tests.

Dmytro Kurets. DareDev 🇺🇦 @daredev.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

I'm not vibe coding. I review every line. But even then, a simple "let's reflect" at the end of the session surfaced better rules, docs, and agent configs I'd have missed. The reflection habit matters regardless of how much you trust the AI. Do you do this? 👇

"harness engineering" - It is the idea that anytime you find an agent makes a mistake, you take the time to engineer a solution such that the agent never makes that mistake again. (c) Interesting AI Adoption Journey by Mitchell Hashimoto mitchellh.com/writing/my-a...

Programming a programming language sounds odd, we’re used to programming with one, not building it. But after watching this, I must say working on @kotlinlang.org must be pretty cool. In the end, you’re building a product exclusively for devs… and now for AI agents 🙂. youtu.be/ZggUn2mNqMU?...

Meta Quest Store saw 12% faster loads & 2.5× faster interactions with #React Compiler. ESLint and React violations looks solid too I'm skeptical, but definitely going to try it out. Auto-memoization without manual useMemo/useCallback sounds promising. react.dev/blog/2025/10...

In big codebases, duplicate logic hides everywhere, especially when you are new to a project. AI can now help us spot and prevent those clones before they grow into tech debt.

Dmytro Kurets. DareDev 🇺🇦 @daredev.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

In the age of #AI and AI-powered IDEs, we should get used to asking questions like: 👉 “Is there a function that already does this?” 👉 “Which part of the code handles that?” 👉 “Did I just duplicate something?”

I was excited to discover #Redis numbered databases… only to learn the same day they are widely considered a mistake. I wonder if anyone is actually using them in production

Out of curiosity, I ran some offline LLMs on my Raspberry Pi 4. Building from source was fun, and watching it struggle to squeeze out a word per second, even with the smallest models, was oddly satisfying. It met my low expectations perfectly 😄 #raspberrypi #llm

Just watched @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com’s “Software engineering with LLMs in 2025: reality check.” Clear, grounded look at how AI-coding tools are used day-to-day. Loved the four wrap-up questions! youtu.be/EO3_qN_Ynsk #llm #ai

🌀 Tried Kotlin Notebook’s `ANIMATE {}` today and got totally sucked in. First plan: shiny data plots. Actual result: a roaming kaomoji ( ͡~ ‿ ͡~) Bottom line: with a bit of code, #kotlin notebooks move more than just data.

GIF recorded in IntelliJ Kotlin Notebook. A kaomoji face slides left-to-right and back, driven by a Kotlin ANIMATE(0.2.toDuration()) block that updates the output every 200 ms

So last night I dove into three-and-a-half hours of Googling, installing, purging, rebooting 🧑‍💻, chatting with GPT, rinse, repeat. Just when I was about to give up, I opened Google Meet and saw my bleary face staring back. Victory! 🎉 5/8

Then I headed off on a workation 🌴💻. I forgot to pack an external cam, figured I’d survive… until I saw my calendar packed with meetings and an interview. 4/8

I’ve never been short of options: there’s an external webcam in my home office and another one (plus plenty of Zoom rooms) at work, so the missing laptop cams never felt urgent. I poked at the problem now and then, got nowhere, and shrugged it off 🤷. 3/8

Dmytro Kurets. DareDev 🇺🇦 @daredev.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Fast-forward to Ubuntu 24.04: upgrade done, webcam dead again 💀. Same fix, no luck. Then trivago handed me another Dell for work, and yes, its camera was also playing dead 🙄. 2/8

Dmytro Kurets. DareDev 🇺🇦 @daredev.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

I picked up a Dell in October 2022, installed Ubuntu 22.04 on it, and, surprise! The built-in camera was a no-show 📷. After some digging, I found a workaround and moved on. 1/8

I don't get it. If it came as a surprise to the managers, then who did this?! Is someone hiding the truth or does it really happen out of the blue, without any consideration as a top down decision?
