@jetbrains.com I mean, I love you guys, I'm building a whole open source web framework on top of your stuff because I am a fan of how aligned you are with developers. So...

Kineto, a no-code approach to building a website? Really? With prompts in your demo like this?

What are we even doing here?

KotlinConf 2025 is coming up fast.

I'll be speaking about #Kobweb there. If you are attending, feel free to come meet me after the talk -- I'd love to say hi in person! (If you find me before the talk, I'll probably be a mess...)

More details can be found here:

I am glad to be ceding ground to the next generation 🙇

I'm tired, boss.

Seen here: a programmer, just beginning their descent into the more esoteric coroutine / flow APIs.

In this unfortunate case, they were never seen or heard from again, but their last words were discovered: "Hmm, my production code works great, but every 1000 test runs or so, I get a flaky failure."

🦦 Latest #Kotter 1.2.0 🦦

github.com/varabyte/kot...

Kotter is a Kotlin-idiomatic library for building CLI applications, tailored for the terminal's simplicity. It's fun to use!

First time hearing about it? Check it out! The README is pretty comprehensive and there are a bunch of examples.
