I’m not a designer, so my designs usually suck. I will always choose to work with a professionally-made design if I have the opportunity. And now that we have agents — we can ask them to quickly build our app UI based on a Figma design. In this article, I’
I've noticed this myself. It's very tempting to keep on pushing Claude Code or other agents to generate code for your project. But at a certain point, you notice that you're avoiding reviewing the generated code. The thought process is: "Oh, it probably
I’m a massive fan of @Villa Market JP. They’re easily the best place in Bangkok for high-quality imports (and my specific breakfast obsession). But a recent late-night quest for cottage cheese turned into a masterclass in why "small" mobile UX flaws can cost a business serious

If you’re new to DI, whether it’s Hilt or Koin - sooner or later, you’ll encounter a circular dependency (I hope you don’t, but let’s assume you will 😢). This post is an explanation of a challenge I posted two days ago So what is a
In the code below we have initialization of a Koin module along with the declaration of dependencies it injects. 💉 🔍 Your task is to find the issue and share it in the comments! I'll share a post with an explanation in two days. 💡 Hint: this problem applies to all
