Couldn't sleep. Wrote a KEEP.

Large fascist the size of a small fascist leaves MN.

We're done being Minnesota Nice to ICE. Get the fuck out of our city.

I'm fucking exhausted.

⚡ The Kotlin Power-assert is now available for 🪶 Maven! The plugin makes debugging easier with detailed failure messages and no extra libs needed. Enable it in the <plugin> section of `kotlin-maven-plugin` in your `pom.xml`. Read more in the docs 👇 https://kotl.in/wtpugg

I had the wonderful opportunity to speak at two conferences recently: KotlinConf and DroidCon NYC! As a speaker, it's always fun to share something I'm passionate about with people. And as an attendee, chatting with all the fantastic developers in these communities is just the best!

*I'm* speaking at Droidcon NYC? About *Compose*? Who approved this?! nyc.droidcon.com/brian-norman/

And it includes beta support for context parameters!

Omg, I love this 😍 I think this convinced me to try it! Really amazing showcase of alternative use-cases for Compose and #Kotlin power assert at the same time 😄👏👏 If you don’t know about power assert check it out here, kotlinlang.org/docs/power-a...

A palette cleanser for your timeline today: Introducing Metro! Metro is a compiler-plugin-based dependency injection framework that draws heavy inspiration from Dagger, Anvil, & Kotlin-Inject. www.zacsweers.dev/introducing-...

I just had one of the coolest calls in quite some time with @bnorm.dev. We wanted to talk about a potential issue, but then drifted into him explaining his project, github.com/bnorm/storyboard, to me. I wish he had shown me this before I started preparing for my next talk. 🤯🔥

Open source is so cool! 7 years ago I made a big change to UTF-8 processing in okio. I moved on to other things. Meanwhile, kotlinx-io copies a lot of code from okio (with approval, nothing shaddy). I then join the Kotlin team. Today I found the same code I wrote for okio, comments and all. Wild.

We know that publishing a library to Maven Central is a nontrivial quest. Take this guide to aid you on your journey! www.jetbrains.com/he...

Wanted to share a project I've been working on for the last year: github.com/bnorm/storyboard It's a library for building presentations in #kotlin and Compose! I've built a couple presentations using it, and I'm really excited about the potential!

Want to know something cool? The multiple output values for interactive scripts is thanks to the same code transformation behind Power-Assert. That's how it can display a before and after result. So cool to see that technology find its way into unexpected places!
