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!

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!

🪄 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!
