The last 7 weeks, Spotify had 4 outages when publishing my podcast episodes (!!). After outage #3, I asked the Podcasts team to share how they are improving reliablity. They didn't share - and it just got worse. So I am no longer publishing video podcasts on Spotify, but redirect my audio RSS.

Another tool in my Swiss Army Knife for day-to-day work 💪 It's called Slashgrab, a macOS menu bar app for copying file and folder paths. Drag it onto the icon, drop it, and the path is copied to the clipboard. So I don't need to go crazy to get a path from whatever. slashgrab.app

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.

2ality blog: temporarily offline

Dear visitor! Two things happened recently:

- The income from my book sales went from being enough for me to live off (2024) to zero (2026).
- The traffic to my blog and my books (which were free to read online) increased beyond what I can currently afford. Virtually all of it comes from AI crawlers, so there is no ad income.

Therefore, I’m taking my blog and my books offline so that I can decide what to do next – especially w.r.t. AI companies stealing my work. This may take a while (think months): I don’t have any energy to deal with this right now.

I apologize for this (hopefully temporary) inconvenience to my human readers! You can still buy my books at Payhip.

@jason.bayton.org Hi Jason, reading your great post and this "The same APIs that power commercial MDM solutions are available to anyone with a Google Cloud project." makes me feel it is super easy. Yet, it seems that AMAPI requires approval from the Google side to even get 1 device enrollment.

Jan Skrasek @hrach.dev · 05/02/2026

20 minutes later... it zipped everything back, I installed the plugin, and I can use Kotlin 2.3. I'm definitely not a crazy proponent of wibe coding, etc. But truthfully, AI just empowers my skills to do more. I hope I won't lose the joy later on, but rn this is breathtaking.

Jan Skrasek @hrach.dev · 05/02/2026

Of course, I had to guide it a bit (like "decompile it first to see what exactly you need to remove and only after that write the script that manipulates the bytecode").

100

Jan Skrasek @hrach.dev · 05/02/2026

Is there any online editor I could use to do this? No? The only possibility is to do this programmatically. Do I need Kotlin 2.3 so much that I have to learn this? No, sorry. Wait a moment. Claude code, hello there!

100

Jan Skrasek @hrach.dev · 05/02/2026

TLDR: We need to remove these two lines from bytecode. That's not easy, right? We can decompile, easily remove, but we cannot compile back. So, bytecode manipulation it is. :( :( :( again.

100

Jan Skrasek @hrach.dev · 05/02/2026

Well, not so easy. The functionality is not easy to turn off in plugin.xml. :( :( :( But we have the compiled .class, right? Let's look up the source code in GitHub. Oh yes, this is it: github.com/JetBrains/an...

Jan Skrasek @hrach.dev · 05/02/2026

Sorry, I do not have time to wait another week for a fix. So... let's download the Android plugin and disable the functionality that causes this (some lorem ipsum plugin, totally irrelevant - the Lorem ipsum is meant seriously, the code instantiating Lorem Ipsum generator is crashing).

100

Jan Skrasek @hrach.dev · 05/02/2026

I opened a ticket to JetBrains. They identified that it is not an issue of the Kotlin plugin in like 10 minutes (wowo), but the Android one that is crashing (and they posted the relevant stack trace).

100

Jan Skrasek @hrach.dev · 05/02/2026

But of course, the latest IntelliJ EAP supports a newer Android plugin that supports AGP 8.13. A win! Until you realize, it's buggy as hell, it crashes in certain files and then there is no auto-completion nor code highlighting.

200

Jan Skrasek @hrach.dev · 05/02/2026

I want to use Kotlin 2.3 because of certain features. To use it, you need AGP 8.13 to avoid R8 issues and thousands of build warnings. But if you use IntelliJ IDEA like me, no luck, buddy. It supports only 8.12 for now.

I think we should aim for both. Modern hardware should reasonnably be able to create a graph with hundreds of thousands of nodes in milliseconds. Of course that doesn't work if there's IO in between but this is where we need Gradle strict mode.
