We arrived in Munich for @kotlinconf.com ! This year was a long ride, more than 600km with @mbonnin.net from Geneva, and with the last day with @bitpogo.bsky.social who came from Berlin! BTW, Martin's body wasn't hurt by a saddle this time, the radical fix works and reached production successfully

Structured concurrency is a paradigm that bridges the gap to easily visualize coroutine execution. It structures coroutines so that: 1. The parent always waits for child tasks to complete 2. Exceptions are properly propagated so they are not silently lost or ignored

The @kotlinconf.com BIKE trip is almost over! Last Friday afternoon (3 days ago), we were in Amsterdam. 2 days in, we were crossing the Germany border! This afternoon (Monday), we arrived in Bremen… …and tomorrow Tuesday, we will reach Hamburg, and take the train to Copenhagen with our friends!

hobby unlocked: placing pieces of Kotlin code into Kotlin explorer; writing the same code in C++ into compiler explorer with -O3; beating Kotlin code into submission until output matches

@sellmair.dev Your Compose Hot Reload thing is a pure banger! 🤯😍😍🤯 Tweaking animations & everything else is such a breeze now. Thanks to the way shorter feedback loop, I can tell I'll do things I'd have never done without it. Thank you!! ❤️❤️ github.com/JetBrains/co...

My 2 cents for the Android Studio anniversary
For this blog post, I’d like to change gears for a bit and tell a story from my previous life, the one when I was a software developer at JetBrains. Android Studio is celebrating its 10th ann…

And you also invoke more methods, prevent ART inlining, etc. So if you are going to invoke that lambda at a high frequency, consider using a fun interface. This will eliminate boxing, but you can still use the regular lambda notation to invoke the API.

You know what, it's weird that each notification I get seems to be someone highly qualified interacting with my posts. I got so used to only seeing sex bots and crypto scams, I forgot it used to be like this

bluesky request. do not follow or reward quote-doomers. people who quote an article and only add something like "you have no idea how bad this is" or "it's over" or "say goodbye to everything you love". they succeed from your stress. they're bringing you down with them. stay awake; not like this.

Building a Kotlin Multiplatform starter pack. Still working through followers and finding other folks on the platform. Lots of people joined recently, so I'm definitely missing accounts. Ping me with suggestions! go.bsky.app/2oR84o6
