Still have some projects (where I can't use RC) relying on a barely maintained / low-quality Play Billing wrapper that I've always wanted to rip out, but never bothered as I didn't wanna deal with the complexity I guess this is my sign to point opencode at this handbook and let it rip

Will soon be using this at a much larger scale, against the entirety of Fontsource fonts (i.e. Google Fonts + more, every version of every font) periodically on a server for indexing and search, so I'm wondering how much more optimization could be done in that front.

started with "this brand feels kiki, i want something more boba" ended up with a very cute rebrand hope to share this very soon!

I have nothing to do with Clojure, yet this is one of the best documentaries I've ever watched 💚 Immediately jumped to watching "Simple Made Easy" and various other talks by Rich; I feel like a new level's been unlocked And now everything I've ever written is immediately due for a deep redesign 😭

Have you tried name-based destructuring in Kotlin 2.3.20? In this clip from the recent TypeAlias Show, you can learn all about the three modes of this new experimental feature, and see how you can start using it (or migrating toward it!) in your own projects. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvpB...

it's not every day that i get to commit stuff like this

Compose apps will finally chirp!

This is one of those features I didn't know I needed but can't live without anymore.

Honestly just the experience of watching a therapist screensharing their ChatGPT session and echoing the AI's suggestions back to them is SO hilarious it'd cure all of my problems 😂 www.technologyreview.com/2025/09/02/1...

Compose Multiplatform gang: HTML interop in web is about to get a whole lot smoother boy I hope this gets standardized and adopted soon enough, as it'd solved most headaches when trying to embed native web elements into Compose Web.

hiring managers making decisions based on some half-remembered linkedin hustleslop probably aren't the most sophisticated individuals. but it's their funeral, commitment to legacy technology in an era of free rewrites is a competitive disadvantage

Very excited about this... the new direction we are moving svelte custom renderers towards require much less code. That plus the fact that agents are somewhat better now gives me hope I can bring this in a decent place soon 🤞🏻

Rebound is just an incredible Compose performance tool! Can't wait to try this on Unimap. It's a tiny "toy" app with a very large grid (with small items), that I've always struggled to manually optimize, so this might finally clue me into the root cause of it all.

portless is awesome! got fancy `.test` domains set up on all my web/server projects during local development no more messy browser history! github.com/vercel-labs...

found some old C code i wrote long ago

this reply is so literally me

And so Ramadan starts ✨ Gotta make it count, inshallah better and more fruitful than previous ones 🤲🏻

TIL that Google had a payments hold on my Play Console account since January 2024 (!!!) that prevented sales to users in Brazil. 0 communicationt, no alerts to let me know, just a silent hold. The reason I even investigated it is thanks to two Brazilian users reaching out in the last 2 months.

kotlin yaaaay

Well, well, well... look who suddenly remembered they can ship new features. Right after the community started working on an alternative. What a coincidence! 🙃

I have been using SearXNG as my daily driver search engine and it's been great! I show what it is and how to set it up in my latest video I also take a look at Perplexica - a self hosted AI answer engine that uses SearXNG under the hood watch 🍿: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pNM...

Just started using TickTick after years of failing to make Todoist work for me... BOY what was I missing, this thing is incredible. Having tasks, notes, habits, countdowns, calendar, and many more features in one unified experience is just SO sleek. Highly recommend!

Excited for what's next!

I need to be more diligent...

When I realized that I need to take 3 different kinds of medicine, several times a day each, for about a week, it was immediately clear which AI tool I'll use to vibe code a tracker app... None of them. This just needs a pen and paper. Get your minds out of the gutter, people.

"Concise, multiplatform, and fun." 🤔 We're not just talking about Kotlin for Android anymore. @bashorov.com from @jetbrains.com joins the #WasmAssembly podcast to explore the next frontier: Kotlin/Wasm → goo.gle#WasmAssembly4a2FqJs

i love all the little silly things throughout discord's interface

age++ (yesterday)

asked clause to write an argument between two experts who disagree vehemently on the usefulness of rust how it started | how it's going 😭

It's kinda impressive how Codex uses Python to unzip library source jars (e.g. to understand an API). ...but it's also kind of a problem: this is pure overhead when working with JVM languages. Maybe there should be a mode where jars are automatically extracted (or a tool that does it on-demand)?

Just vibe coded my way into making Forgemap, a tiny GitHub activity heatmap client in GTK / libadwaita written in Rust. Most of the code was written by Codex, through the new integration in IntelliJ, with few tweaks and some manual search. github.com/skaldebane/f...

This is one of the best and most thorough technical explainers I've ever watched. Went in expecting to gain little, came out a different man. Huge props to @nicbarker.com for making this!

23 modules migrated to Amper in an "experiments" project Slashed ~300 lines of boilerplate code just like that (excluding the amper CLI script, which is a bit longer than gradlew)

reminder to self: the only way out is through.

OpenAPI support 🎉

Imgur seems to be (temporarily?) dead, apparently globally. Even trying it with a VPN from multiple countries always ends up in this:

so very me

ok i just found out that robot fighting is a real sport i'm obsessed help

After being a loyal Gmail user forever, I've finally switched over to Thunderbird for everything, both on desktop and mobile. Great experience so far! I just need to organize the mess that is my inbox(es) :P

i just love this website so much man

Trump spent Christmas bombing Nigeria & claiming Christians are suffering genocide—while placing Nigeria on his travel ban. In this video, I cite trusted Nigerian scholars, Christian and Muslim alike, to break down what's really happening. Watch now & subscribe for more human rights content.

Just tried Amper for the first time today. And I'm so in love already 🤤 It's SUPER simple to understand and configure, and just gets out of my way. I could even imagine doing major restructuring without the fear Gradle instilled into me. It's like, what the hell have we been tolerating

Explicit backing fields might be the main highlight of Kotlin 2.3 for me. This pattern is used A LOT and yet I've always felt icky about it... it lacks the "beauty" level I came to expect from idiomatic Kotlin code, with no way around it. Farewell, private val _field, you won't be missed!

I'm not anti-AI but this is hilarious 😂

2025 has been the hardest year for me and it’s ending with my journey as an #AndroidDev at Snapp coming to an end Grateful to the team for the trust and the amazing experience❤️ If your team is looking for an Android dev, needs an extra pair of hands, or could use some help I’d be happy to connect🙂

okay just came back to beloved compose after a long hiatus doing web work i gotta say, this is THE most incredible dev tooling design i've ever seen thus far (on hot reload failure)
