I was looking for a quick solution to do a before-after demo on some changes for a PR, and discovered that the Running Devices tool panel in Android Studio allows splitting the view just like the code editor. 🤩

🚀 Should you use Kotlin Sequences for Performance?
I have always thought that using asSequence() was the way to optimize chained operations in Kotlin.
But after benchmarking, the results shocked me: Sequences are often slower! 😱

Use Kotlin's 𝙡𝙖𝙯𝙮 wisely. It's generally not necessary if the underlying value is cheap to initialize.
Both codes here are similar except the one on the right does a bunch of unnecessary allocations.
