I asked my friend if I should make a social media site called "vouch" where if you invite people into it who get reported and suspended, you get suspended too. He said soon the whole network would be suspended. So yeah that sounds amazing, I think I might be onto something.

Kobweb hit 2000 ⭐s on GitHub. 😳 I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported Kobweb, in any way. I shared more expanded thoughts on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... (in case you'd like to read at least one post on that site which was written without any AI help!)

✨ Big O ✨ Let me take you on a visual introduction to what big O notation is in my new blog post: samwho.dev/big-o. With big O notation you can better understand how algorithms will perform in practice, finding orders of magnitude improvements often with very simple changes to your code.

Looks great!! Hope building it was mostly painless 🙂

ChatGPT5 is the "Sure" update. It keeps asking questions to continue the conversation, where saying "Sure" will keep it going. (NOTE: I even added custom instructions telling it not to do this.) OpenAI must be really incentivized to keep users stuck on longer conversations.

Over the last four years of Kobweb development, the biggest performance jump we got BY FAR was improving our Gradle plugin to be configuration cache friendly. Learning how to play nice with Gradle pays dividends.

@jetbrains.com I mean, I love you guys, I'm building a whole open source web framework on top of your stuff because I am a fan of how aligned you are with developers. So... Kineto, a no-code approach to building a website? Really? With prompts in your demo like this? What are we even doing here?

New Kotlin video! Context-sensitive resolution is one of those features that will kind of quietly blend into the background while making a lot of code much nicer. And you can already try it in Kotlin 2.2 as an experimental feature! Check out the details: www.youtube.com/watc...

Really happy to hear anecdotes like this. KMP is such a great technology, especially if you're a Kotlin fan. 10 years ago, I would have been happy if Kotlin was just a Java replacement for me. But the longterm version the team had with KMP is truly impressive.

Join us this September! ktconf.be/speakers/iva...

KTConf 2025 schedule is live! 🗓️🔥 Talks by Ivan Canet, Simon Vergauwen, Duncan McGregor, Alejandro Serrano Mena and others. 🎤 Kotlin, FP, MongoDB, and smart code insights. 📍 Sept 19 – Terhills Hotel, Belgium 🎟️ Tickets available: ktconf.be #ktconf #kotlin #devconference #programming #belgium

🎈 TestBalloon, the new Kotlin Multiplatform test framework just got an IDE companion: plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/27749... Use its gutter icons to run individual tests or test suites with any level of nesting from common code on all Kotlin targets. Next stop: Support incremental compilation.

Came for the MongoDB, stayed for the surprising JSON/BSON facts. And as for creating a fake document object to wrap your BSON contents and then using string manipulation to peel it away to support primitive types, I approve the hack! I'm sure I've done something similar before.

KotlinConf talks are up! My own talk can be found here: kotlinconf.com/talks/774286/ Right before I started, they asked me if I could download my slides onto a USB stick. But I didn't have any! My talk was a live-running website built with #Kobweb. 😎 Please enjoy! Questions / feedback welcome.

Congrats to @kotlinconf.com organisers....it was, as always, an amazing event! My general feeling after attending (coupled with announcements coming up to the event) is that we've "unlocked a new level" in the Kotlin ecosystem. Very exciting times ahead!

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.

Kobweb talk at #KotlinConf25 in 5 hours -- starting to feel very real now. Regardless of how it goes, I'm content knowing I gave it my all. Afterwards, you'll probably find me collapsed in a deep sleep off in some corner. My one-month constant supply of adrenaline is about to run out.

Surreal questy crafty voxelly FPS-RPG! 😁

KotlinConf 2025 is coming up fast. I'll be speaking about #Kobweb there. If you are attending, feel free to come meet me after the talk -- I'd love to say hi in person! (If you find me before the talk, I'll probably be a mess...) More details can be found here: kotlinconf.com/schedule/?da...

I'm proud of Gradle Best Practices finally launching. It was a result of many hours of discussions, negotiations, and wordsmithing to bring you the first batch of best practices. It was a deep collaboration between Google, Jetbrains, and Gradle. Enjoy it! blog.gradle.org/gradle-best-... #gradle

Harshing the vibe!

Um, yikes.

A promise of backwards compatibility forever. Awesome. As a framework author, I truly admire the boldness of it.

"YouTube Redesigned" is a web app that explores a fresh, modern look for YouTube, built using Kobweb by @shubhsingh0708.bsky.social. github.com/shubhamsingh... Just so much great about this. The idea, the effort, the presentation -- and it's open source. Please check the repo out!

Excited to be speaking about #Kobweb at KotlinConf this year. (Kobweb is a framework for building full stack websites in Kotlin) Come say hi if you're there! kotlinconf.com/schedule/?da... #kotlinconf

🕸️ Latest Kobweb v0.20.1 github.com/varabyte/kob... A bunch of stuff in this one. * Some users are mentioning decent reductions in their site output sizes. * Artifacts are now hosted on Maven Central and the Gradle Plugin Portal. * Catch-all dynamic routes and ApiInterceptors are neat!

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete? I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post. samwho.dev/turing-machi...

I'm not sure if I should be upset that field offsets are organized alphabetically (instead of in the order declared in the file) by ART, or if there's some big brained reason it's awesome actually. In most real life cases I guess it probably won't matter, but for sure this is a fascinating post.

New Year's resolutions are right around the corner. Let us devs all aspire to this amazing goal.

Anyone looking for the best Kotlin-idiomatic Mongo DB bindings out there, and whose heart may have been broken by KMongo shutting down.... keep an eye on this project!

🦦 Latest #Kotter 1.2.1 Not a functional release but an improved implementation. Hardens some internals, resolving an issue where Kotter would flake sometimes in test scenarios (because keypresses were coming in faster than any human could ever type them). github.com/varabyte/kot...
