Just a note to fill feature requests for these type of things if you find yourself building them - I was shocked that no one had ever actually filed a feature request for this on the issue tracker.

Maybe we're missing a whole bunch more of these kinds of helpers? Don't suffer in silence 😭

A recent discussion has led me to realize that many folks do not fully grok the parts of Gradle that can be made parallel. By default almost all of Gradle runs in a serial way.

So I wrote a post about it

I wrote about new Gradle phases added by the configuration cache feature and how the cost of them can be minimized.

This shouldn't have been closed. It looks like the bug was misrouted and didn't get attention. Thank you for including a patch. I've shared it with the right team to make sure it's reviewed.

Oh wow, I didn't even know they had a call for papers open or I would've submitted something too. This event looks amazing. I hope you have an amazing talk and a wonderful time in Japan. Looking forward to the recordings!

"Rich Errors in Kotlin” – the KotlinConf’25 talk by Michail Zarečenskij is now live on our YouTube channel! 🎉📺

Discover how Kotlin’s nullability model can be generalized to restricted union types for better error handling.

YouTube’s auto-dubbed videos are really annoying if you know more than one language. Kinda crazy they released this without a way to turn it off by default.

Yesterday was my last day at Google.
What started as a 2-year Green Card journey became 11 amazing years & meeting incredible people.
So many great memories from creating Jetpack to adopting Kotlin.
10/10, would do it again.
It is time to move on though, try new challenges and learn new stuff!

Valeu demais! 💚 Faltou você lá, meu amigo! Espero te ver na próxima. 🤗

First time speaking at #KotlinConf, done and dusted! What an experience. That's a wrap, see you all next year!

@liutikas.net and Alan Viverette are on stage at #KotlinConf diving into "APIs: How Hard Can They Be?"
