Two Pillars of (Engineering) Management www.zacsweers.dev/two-pillars-...

If we stop writing code, what's the meaning of our software engineers' job? I stepped back through 30 years of software crises to find out. The pattern is always the same: we confuse producing with building, lose meaning, then find it back. And now AI. #SoftwareEngineering #AI #Architecture

Hot take (?): for a significantly easier time, schedule your AGP 9 upgrades for about two months from now. There'll be a lot more materials and samples available to help you, and various issues will have been fixed by then.

A lot happened around setting up Compose Multiplatform previews recently, with changes like the original AndroidX annotation becoming multiplatform in 1.10. So here's a shiny new documentation page with all the guidance you need to set up previews: kotlinlang.org/docs/...

I just released my first Kotlin library: tech-debt 💸 A lightweight KSP annotation to keep track of the tech debt. No more TODOs scattered throughout the code. 🙅 Feedback is welcomed! Hope you like it! ❤️ github.com/igorescodro/...

When my GPS goes awry in Atlanta, I sometimes panic because I'm not sure where to go. I'm not proud of it, but I'm also not alone. Neuroscientists have identified a link between GPS usage and memory. I write about how tech is turning us helpless in After Burnout: afterburnout.co/p/why-ai-and...

AI was supposed to make us more efficient. Instead, it’s fragmenting our workflows, bloating our calendars, and burning out high performers. I wrote about the false promise of AI productivity and why we’re actually working harder than ever: afterburnout.co/p/ai-promise...

Kotlin coroutines are great. Their core primitive is the suspending function. With a small change in your IDE settings, you can give them a custom color (like a bright green), which makes it easy to spot them at a glance, even when you're looking at a lot of code.
