Good summary. Theory of constraints in action.

Nocode is obviously a banter repo and people starred it because made them laugh.

The demand from middle managers trying to replace their dev teams with Claude Code, mainly.

But why should they? An Oracle data centre is built for one purpose, and one purpose only - to increase the wealth and power of Larry Ellison. Is furthering that goal really someth…

In Kotlin this would already be a compile error, no need for another annotation.

Ha, I switch between the two as well, but I feel the opposite. Kotlin is much more intuitive for me, and Swift is more clunky. I do miss guard lets in Kotlin, but that’s about it.

I don’t have a problem with the fines for the spam texters, if anything it should be higher, but not punishing the electoral commission for that is utterly insane.

You can’t do stacked PRs without merge commits, not unless you really like conflicts anyway.

> a bank browser for browsing and a restaurants browser for deciding where to eat you mean like native mobile apps?

Couldn’t agree less. I’ve been a developer for nearly 20 years, working with Python, PHP, JavaScript, ObjC, Swift, Java, bash scripting, SQL, Terraform, and a bunch of others. Writ…

This is a more insightful comment than the comment at the top, and also more useful than the blog post.

They're not rioting because it's not true

Sadly most people (at least in my country) use Facebook for this.

You don’t have children.

Have you looked at Kotlin? Very, very similar to Swift and interoperates very well with Java.

You absolutely can. You can also use Square’s excellent Wire library.

My day is similar to the poster you’re replying to. It’s easy to make up the time in the evenings if you’re already set up for working from home. Also some employers who have embra…

It would depend on the state of that codebase, really. If it’s well tested and does its job well, I wouldn’t bother rewriting it at all. But certainly if I were to add new features…

Cheap threads are fine if you’re in a server environment, and you need to spin up a large number of short lived parallel jobs. It’s not hugely helpful for a UI-bound application wh…

I believe there are no plans to port Kotlin’s null safety to Java, which is possibly the biggest advantage Kotlin has right now. Once you’ve tried it there is no way you would want…

Housing. Being a homeowner and paying off a mortgage builds your wealth. Renting builds someone else’s.

I wouldn't lump Kotlin in with some of the other less-popular there, if a place is already all-in on Java then Kotlin is a natural next step and can be adopted incrementally with 0…

I think in London people would prefer you actually mugged them rather than try and engage them in a conversation.

So, what do we call the mobile app layer? The view of the view?
