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)

So, today I found out about a secret, unsafe, internal property that makes Hot Reload waaaay faster. Like lightning fast. Even in a real project, not just with Hello World. We're currently discussing if y'all are ready for this yet - we'll probably add it to guidance later.

Just built my very first (admittedly simple) IntelliJ extension thanks to Kotlin Notebooks' IntelliJ platform integration! I wanted to remove folder icons from the project view to match the look of VS Code and Fleet, but couldn't find an existing plugin for it, so ended up making one!

got a cute little visitor amidst the rain she had a pretty good nap before leaving

Say hello to Compose Hot Reload 1.1 🔥 Please give it a try and provide feedback: github.com/JetBrains/co... ☕️ JBR 25 support ⚡️ Recompilation Speed optimizations 😎 New visuals, New DevTools UX 📦 Faster, more lightweight protocol under the hood

Amazing talk as usual! Been building a reasonably-sized SvelteKit app for the past month, and thoroughly enjoyed using remote functions. Finally, building forms doesn't suck as much!

"and you 'obviously' used them very well" yeah leveling out an entire people with all types of illegal weapons in an illegal occupation by an illegal genocidal state is _very_ good use as the u.s sees it and none of this would've been any different regardless of party long live the resistance 🇵🇸

gmail basically agrees that honey is a ~scam~ spam keep up the good work, google

TIL that "" is valid german

TIL that SIM cards are a full computer like, with a CPU (32MHz, 32-bit), RAM (6KB), and a programming language (JavaCard, a subset of Java), and can run apps! and a whole lot more interesting things more in this talk from 2013: www.youtube.com/watch?v=31D9...

semver is great for libraries, but for end-user apps... it doesn't really map guess i've been instinctively doing pride versioning for my apps lol yet I still have an internal conflict about releases that *I* think are awesome, but that users would see as just another incremental update

Just realized that I'm not doing micro-blogging platforms justice when using @typefully.com, as I keep avoiding putting pictures in any thread posts aside from the root one just so it works well on LinkedIn... Still, it's great for drafting once, then tailoring to each platform.

Of all Kotlin Multiplatform targets I'm targeting with the Font Viewer rewrite, Android is the most finicky to support, and it gets trickier the lower your minSdk is! Take this example: creating a Font object out of a file, on desktop vs. Android. A thread🧵

Lollipop emulator 🥹 You can't even download this (and Marshmallow) from recent versions of Android Studio Basically an ancient treasure at this point

First time needing to use an `unsafe` API in Rust! This one concerns IO-safety, not memory-safety, and I use it to pass a file descriptor to an Android Uri from the Kotlin side and read it as a File from the Rust side.

The Palestinian-led BDS movement has updated our priority targets, pressure targets and organic campaign targets.

is there any way to clear developer labels from @dev-labels.bsky.social? This post doesn't seem to work anymore:

I think one of Circuit's most powerful feature whose potential I haven't realized until recently is nested presenters. Once you realize how easy they are to use, every component can be its own "screen" with a presenter, state holder, and events. It simplifies everything ✨️

It's finally happening! Took a while (and absolutely tanked the plugin's reviews), but finally we'll get to enjoy some of the same benefits our macOS brethren have had for a while now. youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KMT-7...

Font Viewer's codebase is so messy it's just not possible for me to work with anymore 😭 Imported a lot of crap since I started the app in Java back in 2020 (as a newbie), and carried most of it through a very rushed Kotlin rewrite later on. Time for another rewrite I guess!

Cross-posting test from @typefully.com! I really like the UI and experience compared to Buffer. Feels a lot cleaner and more focused with less fluff about targets and whatnot!

Literally the very first time committing updated Gradle wrapper files aside from the initial commit (aside from gradle-wrapper.properties which I've always updated manually...)

Where along the road did we lose these aesthetics... even liquid ahh with all its shine doesn't deliver that same polish and care that people figured out a decade ago

To everyone who used Firebender and/or JetBrains AI/Junie, what's your experience with them? Thus far I've only used JetBrains' own AI autocomplete, almost never using Junie (it was a bit 'slow' in my experiments). And GitHub Copilot on VS Code when I use it.

just found my super power i mean technically the moroccan dialect is pretty much lots of heavily stylized/modified arabic with quite some french / breber and in tech circles we also mix in a bunch of english

✨ 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.
