It's always fun to bring back a souvenir for your family when you travel. Ninja loves her new Kodee plushie from KotlinConf! (And don't worry - she's taking very good care of it.)

Kotlin's flows really become fun once we start putting our emitters and collectors on separate coroutines... but we can't just call `emit()` from inside a `launch` block, because of Context Preservation! In this week's video, we'll see what Context Preservation is and why it's... (1/2)

Hey! The first proof of the paperback edition of Kotlin: An Illustrated Guide is in hand! After about 5 years of working on this book online and in PDF, it's an amazing feeling to finally experience it in print.
