When Infomaniak invited me to their 30th anniversary, I really didn't expect this all! 🤯 Also happy to see I'm not alone riding those futuristic vehicles! Did you know that ~90% of the energy is spent moving air, by car and bike? That's why velomobiles are shaped like that.

I heard someone calling them guessing machines and I think that's the best description of LLMs. You can make a good guess, but you can also be totally off and spread rumors and misinformation (hallucinations).

Around a year ago, my Kotlin colleagues and I watched a documentary about the origins of TypeScript. We loved it and began discussing how we definitely needed to make a documentary on the creation of Kotlin. /1

Now, I'm delighted to see the final result: youtu.be/E8CtE7qTb-Q -- It's wonderful to see all the great people I've worked with and reminisce about the amazing time I had working on Kotlin. It's history now, but it's a good one to remember. /Great stuff!

🧨 Can't wait to do this talk in English! I put a lot of work to help people be aware of all coroutines pitfalls, and get only the best from this awesome technology. Thanks to my colleagues for the helpful feedback, and to Infomaniak for giving me so much time to perfect it 🙏

Great story from Block's engineering blog about how they use Compose Multiplatform to power their Bitkey app! engineering.block.xyz/blog/how-bitke…

As announced at KotlinConf , we can now write Kotlin/Wasm based Compose for Web code in play.kotl.in/compose

This is the most underappreciated thing presented in the KotlinConf Keynote. Most people seem to not comprehend the consequences of what is presented here, but it is a revolution. Let me explain to you why. 🧵👇
