Junie is perfect for something like this (in a #KMP project).....it added Android, iOS and JVM implementations (using expect/actual) and also updated the tests.

Talking about mental health in tech is important. I wrote about "impact charts", a very simple tool that helped me through burnout last year: stitcher.io/blog/impact-...

Thank you for all the hard work. I really enjoyed your KotlinConf talks; they really opened up the internals of Compose for me. I wish you all the best in your future endevours!

Pamela Hill @pamelaahill.bsky.social · Aug 28

Hi Kotlin folks! JetBrains is running a Kotlin survey, and we need your help to know where we need to grow. It will only take 10 minutes, and you'll have Kodee's eternal gratitude. Thank you!

Thanks for the article, Zac. You've articulated the problem very well, but I found your call to action very hope-filled, different from the rest of similar writings.

I owe a huge debt to those who mentored me along the way, and I hope I can repay it somehow.

Thanks for sharing our video on Kotlin's nested type aliases!

Kotlin by JetBrains @kotlinlang.org · Aug 22

🪄 Type aliases can make long type names shorter and generic names more domain-specific. In Kotlin 2.2, you can now define nested type aliases to make your code even more readable and maintainable.

📺 See how this works in our video: kotl.in/bbjqme

How is the Android ecosystem changing? The tags in the @droidcon.bsky.social London CfP submissions paint a very interesting picture!
