🌀 Tried Kotlin Notebook’s `ANIMATE {}` today and got totally sucked in. First plan: shiny data plots. Actual result: a roaming kaomoji ( ͡~ ‿ ͡~) Bottom line: with a bit of code, #kotlin notebooks move more than just data.

Just watched Gergely Orosz’s “Software engineering with LLMs in 2025: reality check.” Clear, grounded look at how AI-coding tools are used day-to-day. Loved the four wrap-up questions! youtu.be/EO3_qN_Ynsk #llm #ai

Out of curiosity, I ran some offline LLMs on my Raspberry Pi 4. Building from source was fun, and watching it struggle to squeeze out a word per second, even with the smallest models, was oddly satisfying. It met my low expectations perfectly 😄 #raspberrypi #llm

I was excited to discover #Redis numbered databases… only to learn the same day they are widely considered a mistake. I wonder if anyone is actually using them in production

#linux is a sponsor of my evening plans!

Meta Quest Store saw 12% faster loads & 2.5× faster interactions with @React Compiler. ESLint and React violations looks solid too I'm skeptical, but definitely going to try it out. Auto-memoization without manual useMemo/useCallback sounds promising. react.dev/blog/2025/10/0…

🚀 What if you could build game-playing AI without large language models? In this KotlinConf talk, Dmytro Kurets. DareDev 🇺🇦 shows how to create an LLM-less AI for board games using Kotlin DL and Spark – proving you don’t always need a giant model to play smart. 🎥 Watch the full talk

A nice blog post. Right now, this looks to me more like “pairing on demand” than real collaboration and proactivity is exactly what’s missing

Bringing decades of experience from the Spring ecosystem to KotlinConf’26 is Josh Long, the first Spring Developer Advocate. He will explore how Spring Boot and Kotlin come together to create a cleaner, more productive path to building JVM applications that move to production
