Good summary. Theory of constraints in action.

Nocode is obviously a banter repo and people starred it because made them laugh.

The demand from middle managers trying to replace their dev teams with Claude Code, mainly.

But why should they? An Oracle data centre is built for one purpose, and one purpose only - to increase the wealth and power of Larry Ellison. Is furthering that goal really something to be proud of?

As a wiser man than me once said, do not anthropomorphise the lawnmower.

In Kotlin this would already be a compile error, no need for another annotation.

Ha, I switch between the two as well, but I feel the opposite. Kotlin is much more intuitive for me, and Swift is more clunky. I do miss guard lets in Kotlin, but that’s about it.

I don’t have a problem with the fines for the spam texters, if anything it should be higher, but not punishing the electoral commission for that is utterly insane.

You can’t do stacked PRs without merge commits, not unless you really like conflicts anyway.

you mean like native mobile apps?

Couldn’t agree less. I’ve been a developer for nearly 20 years, working with Python, PHP, JavaScript, ObjC, Swift, Java, bash scripting, SQL, Terraform, and a bunch of others. Written code for data transformations, web servers, client side JS apps, native mobile apps, and games.

Android has been my favourite platform to work with and has offered the best developer experience I’ve found. It’s not particularly close. The SDK has improved significantly over the years, the IDE is wonderful, the feedback loops are short, Kotlin hits the sweet spot between functional and OO code, and Compose is a joy. Although yes, Gradle is a sore spot.

IMO the reason why Google have gone all-in on Android Studio is because it’s really, really good. Compare it to Xcode. If you’ve never used a JetBrains IDE, it can feel a little unfamiliar, but I’ve never felt as productive in any other programming environment.

This is a more insightful comment than the comment at the top, and also more useful than the blog post.

They're not rioting because it's not true

Sadly most people (at least in my country) use Facebook for this.

You don’t have children.
