#linux is a sponsor of my evening plans!

I was excited to discover #Redis numbered databases… only to learn the same day they are widely considered a mistake. I wonder if anyone is actually using them in production

Munich it is then! ;)

Out of curiosity, I ran some offline LLMs on my Raspberry Pi 4. Building from source was fun, and watching it struggle to squeeze out a word per second, even with the smallest models, was oddly satisfying. It met my low expectations perfectly 😄 #raspberrypi #llm

Just watched @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com’s “Software engineering with LLMs in 2025: reality check.” Clear, grounded look at how AI-coding tools are used day-to-day. Loved the four wrap-up questions! youtu.be/EO3_qN_Ynsk #llm #ai

🌀 Tried Kotlin Notebook’s `ANIMATE {}` today and got totally sucked in. First plan: shiny data plots. Actual result: a roaming kaomoji ( ͡~ ‿ ͡~) Bottom line: with a bit of code, #kotlin notebooks move more than just data.

3 years in a row, I attended @kotlinconf.com, always inspired by the quality and the community. This year, I had the privilege of speaking there myself. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=434W... Also happy that I got to bring deltaration.com to the spotlight 😊 #ai #boardgames #kotlin

Wrote short article about use of Koog for developing Kotlin based AI agents (combined with a number of MCP servers). The example included is based on use of #BuildWithGemini LLM (really had to use that with #GoogleIOConnect fast approaching 😀) johnoreilly.dev/posts/kotlin...

It does not seem this way when adding bools, but when an extra value has to be added to boolean, I want to go back in time

A quick reminder. We all know not to click links on emails from unknown sources. Spam is an unknown source. The "unsubscribe" link is a link from an unknown source. Even a "known" sender can be spoofed. Just send it to Spam (or at least thoroughly vet the URL before clicking). Just sayin'.

Had an inspiring two-day exchange with the #trivago tech crew in the Netherlands! 🚀 Huge thanks for letting me join the lineup. Special thanks to everyone who packed the room for “Mob Programming: Smells Like Team Spirit.” 🙌🔥 Your questions and hallway chats were the best part.

I picked up a Dell in October 2022, installed Ubuntu 22.04 on it, and, surprise! The built-in camera was a no-show 📷. After some digging, I found a workaround and moved on. 1/8

Always wanted to build a personal website but never found the time. Gave #Junie by @jetbrains.com a try, and I’m genuinely impressed with what I could put together so quickly. If it wasn't for Junie, my domain would still be collecting dust: kurets.dev

It is great how many trivago people made it to @kotlinconf.com!

I don't get it. If it came as a surprise to the managers, then who did this?! Is someone hiding the truth or does it really happen out of the blue, without any consideration as a top down decision?

Spent 30 minutes debugging CSS for my daughter's kindergarten WordPress site… only to realize I forgot a semicolon on the previous line. IDEs make us too relaxed, but honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Thrilled to share that I'll be speaking at this year’s official Kotlin conference! A huge thanks to @jetbrains.com for the opportunity. I'll be presenting "Kotlin's Gam[e]bit: LLM-less AI for Board Games" at #kotlinconf. Looking forward to the event!

A company expecting staff to work in-office 2-3 days per week will increasingly prefer in-person (final round) interviews. If they pay top of market: this itself will be enough for most candidates to do it. The payoff is high enough, after all.

@kevlin.bsky.social, Düsseldorf is saying hi 🙃

It's easy to generate an image from a few words, but the more precise you want it to be, the more frustrating the process becomes. Sometimes I feel like it would take less time to learn how to draw and create it myself

😐 Remember when Twitter open sourced their algo? No update in over a year: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm

I'm looking for a new job. Fully remote since I'm living in the Japanese countryside, but I'm flexible on working hours. If you know someone that needs a Kotlin/Java backend engineer with also experience in leading teams and mentoring please pm me. Retweets are appreciated!

#Kotlin 2.1 Live Stream with the language design team is scheduled for this Thursday, 17:00 CET www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlgR...

Great Post! I did not even think about it!

I also hope so: "As it becomes even easier to do larger functional changes with AI, hopefully this doesn’t lead to developers accepting AI changes with only a cursory look and test, and “delegating” the actual review to the colleague who will look at the pull request…" (c)

Today reminded me again why I love #TDD. I wrote a test, implemented the wrong solution, and was surprised when it failed. I was so confident that without the test, I would have missed the issue. [1/2]

While the answer is quite long, this interactive article helped me to relive the path to React Query. I hope people see it before they get into the experience alone. ui.dev/why-react-qu... by @tkdodo.eu

It's always useful to check how libraries behave with concurrency. Interesting comparison by @marcinmoskala.bsky.social on thread usage and performance: kt.academy/article/netw...

Announcing TypeScript 5.5 Beta! 📣 Now with type predicate inference, more type narrowing, an @‍import tag for JSDoc, the --isolatedDeclarations flag, performance & reliability improvements, and much more!

Been using #kotlin notebooks a lot lately and wrote a blog post about my experience. dev.to/daredev/code...

It's interesting to see if Pkl is going to become a trend. I find it quite intriguing. Although I have not used it yet pkl-lang.org/index.html

Whenever I hesitate to delete something, thinking it might be useful in the future or it is a cool solution that could be used someday, I hear Martin Fowler whispering "Yagni" in my ear.

This is one of those things you may never experience, but it may take some time to overcome if you do dladukedev.com/articles/027...

I always get confused when I have to generate new tokens for my projects in #gitlab. I forget they are deployment tokens, not personal or project access tokens. I waste an hour looking at empty lists, wondering how my other projects are deployed. Maybe next time I will remember

I was using Cucumber Framework on one PHP project a long time ago. It did not establish the desired connection between Devs, QAs, and POs. It was mainly a tool for devs, which was still nice. Maybe it is time to try it in #kotlin towardsdev.com/how-to-use-t...

Kotlin's ease of writing code can sometimes lead to difficulties with reading it later. Important to keep in mind proandroiddev.com/kotlin-unkno...

If you haven't yet gathered all the information about what happened at OpenAI, @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com has done it for you. newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/what-is-op...

Thanks, @kentbeck.bsky.social for the amazing talk! Makes you think about a lot of things and makes you laugh at many jokes. Unfortunately, sometimes I find myself in them youtu.be/yBEcq23OgB4?...
