What if you could easily analyze intermediate values in your tests? Learn how with Prepared and Power Assert → prepared.opensavvy.dev/api/-suite/o...

Floating-point numbers are weirder than you think… ivan.canet.dev/blog/2025/11...

Did you know it's possible, in #Kotlin, to get both: • 'x > y' is false • 'x.compareTo(y)' is -1 I love weird edge cases (and also, blog post incoming)

Anyone wants to make a cool OSS contribution to the Kotlin ecosystem? Integrate the Amper dependency resolver in Kotlin scripts and solve KT-42775, make scripting easier for everyone and learn about Gradle metadata at the same time. youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-427...

Tomorrow is already #bdxio, for its 10 year anniversary! You'll find me at the Grappe Numerique booth, organizing new secret events with other local user groups... come and see what's up!

great

That logo is perfect! Congrats @lilywhiteout.bsky.social!

KtMongo 0.24.0 is out, with our new mascot, Mokodee! This version contains new syntax sugar for $unset, and improvements to the documentation. ktmongo.opensavvy.dev/news/2025/10...

Happy Halloween everyone!

Government website: "Around 15 millions entities" Me after processing all the data:

Also I drew mokodee for some reason so @ivcanet.bsky.social this one goes out to you

I feel like a TypeScript developer

I'm cooking 👀

“My happy marriage” > 2 seasons > not married

I love Java dates This code fails with ``` UNEXPECTED SERVER ERROR: Invalid value for MonthOfYear (valid values 1 - 12): 0 ```

Yeah I understand why old people are always complaining about computers not working right It's actually impressive how bad we are at everything

IntelliJ you're tired, go to sleep

👀

anyways as always tapping the "learned helplessness is a disease" sign. you must never resign yourself to stagnation and rot of mind, body, or soul

SEO work is starting to pay off somewhat

I've written a small blog post about how context parameters change API design in Kotlin serranofp.com/blog/context... Feedback and discussion is more than welcome!

Here you are serranofp.com/blog/context... As you can see, I do not view context parameters too much as "multi-receiver", but more as regular, yet implicit, parameters

Context parameters are almost here, let's try migrating a real codebase to them and see what happens! If you've heard of them but haven't had the time to dive yet, follow me to discover what they can and can't do right now, ahead of their final stabilization. ivan.canet.dev/blog/2025/10...

Make up your mind!

Guess where I am #geoguessr

TIL 'Delete' is ASCII 127 (0x7F) because that's the maximum value possible, meaning all bits are set. On a punchcard, that means all holes are punched. Therefore, if you make a mistake and punch the wrong hole, you can punch all others and it becomes 'Delete', which is ignored by the reader.

I'd like to report a murder

Great read (but also frightening)

We now have a dedicated Bluesky account! In the coming weeks we'll be automating release announcements there.

hm road gone

Bordeaux ♥️

Hey @lilywhiteout.bsky.social, guess what

that's not a partnership, that's open data

Hi everyone 👋 I'm the human

@ivcanet.bsky.social hey so what about a logo...

The #Kotlin Multiplatform #MongoDB driver has made its first request!

The #MongoDB Java Driver's 'countDocuments' method does NOT call MongoDB's 'countDocuments' method but instead creates an aggregation pipeline 🤔 github.com/mongodb/mong...

The photos of our first edition are up over at ktconf.be/photos Feeding your FOMO so you decide to come next year. 😬

This change decreased overall app execution time by 10% Sometimes, small changes can do a lot

GitHub still doesn't have highlighting to Java's `var` keyword, added 7 years ago

I couldn't keep the weird edge cases out of my next article

Belgium was interesting. It both feels like a foreign country but it also feels very french. Usually when I travel I completely switch to English mode but here it was fairly common that people would understand french better than english.

Couldn’t be happier with yesterday’s 1st edition of KTConf.be. Some quick stats: We had a total of 59 Kotlin fans attend, including 8 speakers, of which 5 international ones. Big shout out to Kunlabora, Triple D, DPG Media, PTV Logistics and of course @jetbrains.com for their amazing support.

Lol americans can't deal with fast trains, so the UI displays a smaller speed to them

Well, when it's time to go... See you in two days at @ktconf.bsky.social!

Last Thursday at @deezerdevs.bsky.social in Bordeaux: what if it was easier to understand your dependencies in a Gradle project?

You have no idea how cute the official Kodee material is Why this isn't used *everywhere* I don't get

Ah, the Spanish guy who has the same name as me apparently goes to Little Caesar. Once or twice a year he gives my email, I was wondering if he was still alive

Interesting, I created two issues from Pedestal, and both have the same digits KT-80958 KT-80598 At a quick glance I was very confused
