I don't remember its contents very well, but I had a talk on doing silly things with Kotlin 5 years ago, feel free to use anything there that fits your topic 😀 zsmb.co/talks/idio-m...

Interface everything, including a use case. 🫠

I feel I would miss this in a code review... 😅

?.let

val result = listOf("apple", "banana", "pear", "apple", "kiwi") .distinct() .sortedBy { it.length } .map { it.uppercase() } .take(3) .joinToString(",") It works, but it is harder to read

I remember this talk, very insightful and on point 👌🏽, still relevant today.

I loved your talk! It's really great to stay grounded: having simple code that is easy to understand, and not 'clever'. I already recommended it a few times :)

Init blocks doing too damn much

This totally got me 🤣

Yes, that's a good finish of the presentation leaving the whole room crying. :)

?.let { } ?: run { } 🤮

@benkadel.bsky.social runs a certification shop but I hear it's very exclusive 😄

Using removeFirst() or removeLast() and bumping your Android compileSDK to 35: youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-713...

Even semantically it looks confusing if you don't know the Kotlin specific syntax - why should two values 'artist' and 'name' equal one value 'song'?

I'd say an over use of extensions in general. This is the one thing that makes Compose annoying to work with. Everything is an extension function/property, so everything is 10x clunkier than it should. Especially when also using copilot.

No need to quality the use of lazy. Just using lazy 😀

You had me at cake

Regarding extension functions. I once saw this: val String.charFlow: Flow<String> get() = flow { split("").forEach { emit(it) } } .filter { it.isNotEmpty() }

My favourite is `suspend invoke` on the companion object. Who doesn't want an async constructor?! :)

Using *Flow to manage UI specific state?

bsky.app/profile/p-y.... He's just kidding ig

Coroutines are not the problem. People imagining they can do things in parallel are. :)

I am used to it - shorter than writing `if (X != Null)` especially when `X` is not final in the compiler view.

everytime I see mockkStatic I cry a little
