Something big might happen to the Kotlin Multiplatform Ecosystem 👀 We were never too happy about how Kotlin publishes and resolves KMP libraries. It takes up significantly more space than it has to, produces a ton of artifacts and Maven modules, and is just... complex!

We're running the Kotlin Developer Survey 2025; make your voice heard! 🎤 Help us understand what's great when working with Kotlin, and what's not! You'll help make Kotlin better not just for yourself, but for everybody! Thanks in advance ❤️ surveys.jetbrains.com/s3/68aaa1b46...

Great post. Thanks @zacsweers.dev for putting the thoughts into words. A lot of it aligns with what I have been thinking lately but just couldn't formalize in writing.

I've been laid off! (Startup downsizing to a skeleton crew, sadly.) I'm looking for my next dev role. Lots of experience in Android, most recently worked on Node/TS and Python. Ideally landing at a mission-driven place (been focusing on sustainability recently, but any public benefit will do).

It's good to have different options for doing something and sometimes other factors at play....but....really can't see a reason why #KMP (and potentially #CMP) would not be chosen for an iOS/Android (and other platforms of course!) project today.

Yay, Swift export now available by default in today's Kotlin 2.2.20-Beta2 release ! #KMP 🚀 kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsne...

Been working on a new experimental Kotlin Multiplatform Tracing library capable of emitting Perfetto compatible traces. Currently supporting Android and JVM with the goal of eventually supporting other platforms. Here is the README if you want to try it out. github.com/androidx/and...

Yes ! We recently made androidx.traceprocessor KMP available. So you should be able to emit traces and use Trace processor to assert for them. That's one of the things I want to demonstrate.

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 :)

NEW: WIRED got IP blocked by the Social Security Administration, among other outlets covering Musk's takeover. Federal workers are now "prohibited" from accessing our reporting on "government-furnished equipment." WaPo, NYT, and MSNBC are likewise banned, sources confirm.

Social Security Workers Aren’t Allowed to Read This Story

New internet restrictions at the embattled SSA have cut off access to WIRED, along with other “general news” websites like The Washington Post and The New York Times.
