A great breakdown by @mbonnin.net on why you should avoid the "kotlin-dsl" Gradle plugin. Just write your binary plugins using a normal "org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm" plugin mbonnin.net/2025-07-10_t... #gradle

The case against `kotlin-dsl`

I fear no man. But that thing... It scares me!

just another case of BREAM: baudrillard rules everything around me

four pictures in a column with text

first line
left: a photo of fish in the water
text: stage one, initially the sign (image or representation) is a reflection of basic reality.

next, salmon filets on a cooking pan
stage two: the sign masks a basic reality. the image becomes a distortion of reality.

next, stage three: cartoon fish-shaped fish sticks on a pan. the sign marks the absence of basic reality. the image calls into question what the reality is and if it even exists.

lastly, swedish-fish flavored oreos. stage four: the sign bears no relation to any reality whatsoever; it is its own pure simulacrum

The best way so far that I’ve found to help juniors and young teams is to - make 24/7 voice and video rooms. Cameras on - pile the whole team in there - have people think out loud whenever they’re stuck - keep the experienced engineers in the room That’s the start

"You can't outrun a lack of alignment." I talk a lot about the core feedback loops of development and deployment, and how you can accelerate by keeping them short and tight. But none of that matters unless you are working on the right things, things that move the business materially forward.

I heard a talk by @charity.wtf and @ferd.ca recently where they made the point (I'm paraphrasing) that when A.I. has a clear use case and purpose and we understand how it works, then we no longer call it A.I. We call it spam detection or machine vision or whatever it does.

I have not paid a ton of attention to the uproar over RTO policies, bc we are all in on distributed teams and not going back. My impression (via social media) has been that these were shadow layoffs. Last month I asked an investor why they are doing RTO. He said: "Retention, mostly. And morale."

I wish I had the language to convey the *luxury* of a well-maintained mass transit system. I can board a spacious carriage that'll convey me to the heart of downtown. It has its own road! Instead of the anxiety of stop-and-start highway traffic, I can read, or play a game, or just close my eyes.

I just wrote a piece called "In Praise of 'Normal' Engineers". (partly paywalled) When people talk about world-class engineering orgs, they usually have in mind orgs that are top-heavy with the most experienced and pedigured talent. This gets it exactly backwards. refactoring.fm/p/in-praise-...

I'm back from vacation, let's get back into tech topics! I saw Madona's skeet and noodled on it with a friend on the chairlift. The Fakes vs Mocks debate is a classic, visited many times with very strong opinions as well as "it depends" discourse. Let's talk about why we write tests #AndroidDev
