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
I’ve spent years working with legacy mobile codebases. Some were stable, but most were "Jenga Towers" held together by hope and deprecated libraries. Legacy code is a silent tax on your business and a headache for devs. Here are the top 6 horrors I’ve encountered and
This course is designed specifically for Android developers who want to move into KMP in a structured way. If you’ve been thinking about getting into KMP, this is exactly the course I wish I had when I started. You can check it out here: https://learnkmp.com Also, if

I was using a certain service for my course with which I was explaining the networking part of KMP. And then a couple of weeks back the service stopped working. I looked into the issues on Github - the owner of the service said they were attacked constantly (because the
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
As mobile devs, we often don’t care how much memory our app uses — as long as we don’t hit the dreaded OutOfMemory exception. Let’s be honest: we do care as professionals, but if the app consumes 100 MB more than it should, it doesn’t hurt us.
I just published a new video on Kotlinx Serialization + Ktor 🚀 In this video, I'll be covering: ✔️ What Kotlinx Serialization is ✔️ How does serialization work in general ✔️ The advantages over other libraries like Moshi, Jackson, and Gson. ✔️ Some basic features of Kotlinx Serialization ✔️ 💻 Additionally, we'll build a
