FYI, okHttp-brotli is not impacted. We use the Java implementation, not the C one.

Holy shit

Android 17’s better HTTPS privacy is rad. I’m proud that OkHttp 5.5 makes it easy to adopt.

OkHttp 5.5 can do private domain names. 🕵🏻‍♂️

I usually include a destkop/JVM client in Compose Multiplatform projects I work on as I think faster to iterate on. Just realised that also very useful to have a Kotlin/Wasm based client as Claude is able to drive it faster using following plugin code.claude.com/docs/en/chrome

Leaderlike. My @smh cartoon.

I applaud the change to running it twice, but won't the Kenyans struggle on a second consecutive day. Chance for someone else to win on Sunday?

I’ll be at KotlinConf this May presenting OkHttp’s internals!

I've just had an amazing idea

Vibe coding broke people's brains because they had a bad understanding of the software design process. The pop culture model goes something like this: start out with a sketch and then render that same idea in progressively finer detail. So when tools could "skip" to high detail, people went WOW.

i was looking at the map because of the war stuff and was surprised to find Russia is smaller than both of its neighbors, lithuania and poland. for some reason i assumed it was really big

What happens to Square / Block Android OSS projects post layoffs? Let's start with some context OSS at Square is mostly a happy accident. Jack hired Bob, who's job was attracking world class engineers, and he did that through talks & OSS.

Schedule for @kotlinconf.com 2026 now available in Confetti ( github.com/joreilly/Con...)

From a colleague: The anti-pattern is a `PLAN.md` that says "we will do X" when the code already does Y. Plans live in conversations; outcomes live in artifacts. Full up-front planning never worked in software development, agentic coding won't change that
