How was one of the most loved programming languages - Kotlin - created, and what is next after it? This is a rare and special conversation with Kotlin creator Andrey Breslav, with so many fascinating details on how Kotlin became the global success as it is today. youtu.be/ZggUn2mNqMU (cont'd)

Will nobody think of the <checks notes> multimillionaire TV personalities? A reported £1.1m every year, from license fee payers. But why not tell the Telegraph "over lunch in Soho" that you resent paying your tax? What could go wrong. 👀~AA

Today is my last day at Google. I joined as an intern almost 18 years ago, and it still feels like it was yesterday. I'm incredibly grateful that I got to work with so many amazing and talented folks, but I'm also excited to try something new. First step: a few months of travel and photography :)

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

I'm currently looking for a new fit remote, Android development contract role. I have over 15 years of Android development experience, and bring lots of positive energy to the team. Although I'm based in the UK, I'm set up to work for companies based anywhere. I have immediate availability.

Is the UK’s electric vehicle target about to fall to pieces? And why might it all hinge on parking in East London? I shouldn’t tell you – yet – because our report only goes online the new year. But, since it’s running in the papers, here’s a thread. 🧵🔌🚗

I love Kotlin but please don't abuse its features. I regularly see code like in the first function when you can instead write a simple if statement: it's shorter, easier to read, and doesn't allocate an object! Thankfully both functions compile to the same assembly when R8 is turned on.
