From all my chats at KotlinConf yesterday, the line that hit me the most was: "People don't have to keep calling it Kotlin Multiplatform. It's just Kotlin." My impression is KMP (not AI) is the real star of the show. Several talks independently said multiplatform improved their productivity.

This week's developers conferences ranked from worst to best: 3- Microsoft Build: a big dumpster fire featuring trendy tech fascists 2- Google A/I/O: dodge the bullshit talks to study the new Compose Nav3 library 1- KotlinConf: good non-US vibes, multiplatform and Kotlin 2.2 FTW

May I suggest renaming "Material 3 Expressive" to "Material 3 Bullshit" given the amount of buzzwords and made-up numbers in the official blog posts

Since there's still no official way to play an animated vector drawable in a loop in Compose, I created a quick hack to do exactly that: gist.github.com/cbeyls/7845b... Warning: it's using internal APIs of androidx.compose.animation:animation-graphics and could break in the future. #AndroidDev

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

I have two open positions in my team to work on open source software tools used to track nutrition programs and health campaigns. We are using Django, Postgres, React and AWS, but we are open to good profiles knowing different, but similar, tools. Remote OK www.bluesquarehub.com/blog/vacanci...

You may have missed it, but the @graalvm.org team has recently open-sourced a variant of native image called web image, which compiles Java bytecode to WebAssembly bytecode instead of a native executable.

"The Two Popes" was one of my favourite movies of 2019. Now is a good time to watch it if you haven't already.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is to the Nintendo Switch OLED what the PS5 is to the PS4 Slim, and it's not a compliment. 2x bigger, 50% heavier and with worse battery life: the opposite of what you want for a portable video game console. #Nintendont

Maybe what makes software dev so vulnerable to "AI" is that the industry's left the reliability goal wide open. Defect rates few other markets would stand for are already tolerated. If software had to work in the same way microwave ovens have to work, nobody would let an LLM near production code.
