After spending the last who knows how long advocating for Kotlin Multiplatform wherever I can I finally landed a paid KMP position! Completely from the ground up kotlin and compose multiplatform, just like jobs always intended

there's a pretty simple connection here 1. humans become good at what they practice doing 2. outsourcing to an AI or even other people, means you have stopped doing the thing 3. if you stop doing the thing, you will stop improving, and, long term, get worse at it (cont.)

i really think genai causes actual brain damage. probably faster than most ways you can on purpose give yourself brain damage. and if you hear this statement as literally as i mean it i think it sounds sorta conspiracy nut, but undeniably less conspiracy nut than the apparent sum of its parts

There's something just so great about seeing Toronto get to play itself in a tv show of movie Currently watching "Children Ruin Everything" But some other notables: Scott pilgrim vs the world Enemy Kims Convenience

I guess you can be creative with your workflows. Sometimes I cherry-pick the commits, sometimes I squash and rebase, sometimes just merge with fast-forward is good enough. Depending on the situation.

So I decided to join a shipathon last week (🧵) I wanted to build an app I've been thinking about for a while to help people with addictive urges (run them through tools, track trends.. Etc etc) Well I decided to try out antigravity It damaged my self confidence more than I could imagine...

Every time I looked at this project it felt like failure, I knew I could have done it better I want this product to exist, I truely believe it will help people But now when I look at the code I get frustrated, nervous, and self deprecating about my own abilities Not a fun way to start a hackathon

So anyways I've bashed my head against this for the past 2 days after being in a better headspace And I'm 50/50 on starting from scratch or continuing to try and trim down this beast into something I am proud of So I guess just a word of warning maybe? Be careful out there creatives!

I gave my prompts, outlined architecture, provided clear examples, and wrote out my use cases. The plan seemed robust that "we" came up with, all the code snippets correct. So I proceeded! The result... An absolute mess

Material design fundamentals ignored, domain layers skipped, previews omitted, tests flakey. And worse of all it felt like a reflection on myself Am I bad at explaining what I want? Does 10 years of architecture mean nothing? This dropped me in a depressive spiral for a week (at least)
