Finally found some time to mess around with the Gemini CLI and the Docker MCP Toolkit and there's definitely a bit of ✨ magic ✨ to just managing some simple github tasks through plain human language at the command line. and adding the GitHub tools using the docker toolkit was surprisingly easy
I found this to be a pretty interesting look at where coding and AI tools have come from, and where they might be going. In particular, some of the ideas shared about multi-agent interactions gave me some fun food for thought. youtu.be/3KAI__5dUn0?...

JetBrains@jetbrains.com · last yr.🌐 Kotlin for web: What's new and what's next 🚀 Significant progress has been made in enhancing Kotlin Multiplatform support for web development. 🛠️ A lot has been going on behind the scenes – and now it’s time to share the latest updates 👉 jb.gg/ho9gtk
Anyone using Telepresence to communicate with services in your k8s cluster from locally running services within a Docker Compose environment? Trying to get it working and can it understand why I can hit one service in the cluster, sometimes, but not the rest 😵💫
Really wish I was heading to KotlinConf. We've spent the past ~18 months rebuilding our core platform on Kotlin & Kotlin Multiplatform and now some Compose Multiplatform as well and I've got the itch to share about the cool work we've done! Crossing my fingers for next year 🤞
This seems to be the place to start for tackling this problem. Confirms a lot of my thoughts on where to start optimizing. kotlinlang.org/docs/native-...

I'm proud of Gradle Best Practices finally launching. It was a result of many hours of discussions, negotiations, and wordsmithing to bring you the first batch of best practices. It was a deep collaboration between Google, Jetbrains, and Gradle. Enjoy it! blog.gradle.org/gradle-best-... #gradle
Gradle Best Practices - A Path to Build Happiness
Gradle Build Tool, also known as Gradle, is a highly flexible and extensible build system. It supports multiple ways to structure and configure builds, making it incredibly powerful—but also somewhat ...

Every time I think I have PagerDuty escalation policy settings figured out... someone on the team gets alerted in the middle of night for a low-priority issue and I'm reminded that I apparently understand nothing 😑
The Jetpack Compose and internals course is the result of years of deep exploration, experience working on Compose initiatives at big tech, and writing the Jetpack Compose Internals book 🧵

Was very pleasantly surprised today at how well JetBrains' Junie worked for generating plantuml diagrams. It was a fantastic experience to just explain what I wanted and not have to comb through docs on puml syntax
Sadly, no longer a GDE as Google officially sunsetted the Kotlin category. Enjoyed my time in the program, and look forward to still sharing Kotlin content in the future... my team has been building with Kotlin more than ever and my content backlog is growing all the time 🙂
Very interesting talk if you're building container images - especially for the JVM. I had not really explored buildpacks for this. Definitely gave me some things to think about

After an intense 2024 that took a toll on my physical and mental health, I told myself I would really invest more in taking care of myself in 2025. 4 weeks in and I'm starting to feel a noticeable difference 🎉
Anyone have issues with IntelliJ using an undesirable build task when running 'Build Project' or know of a way to change that inferred task? As far as I know it can't be done and we've been using work arounds but the muscle memory is hard to break for some
Great hack week in Cancun last week. Tough to come back to our cold winter homes, but pretty excited about the computer vision capabilities we prototyped while together

I really enjoyed this talk It's focused on the "architect" role and talks about what that means but I think the points on multidimensional problem solving and communication are very valuable for engineers of any level/role. youtu.be/Oib06l1CHME?...
