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
Platform-specific Koin modules can do the job better. Expect/actual is great when your project is small. However, as your codebase grows, managing platform-specific dependencies quickly becomes a headache. That’s where Koin modules shine. 💪 They let you replace expect/actual with a more flexible and scalable approach — keeping your
Back when I started programming 10 years ago, I traumatized myself by storing all the data for my financial app locally. Yes, you read that right — I had an app in production, and all of its data lived on the device.It was my first app, called "Daily Budget&
0:00 /0:58 1× 100% test coverage… sounds safe, right? Wrong. Here’s why your coverage report might be lying to you: Unfortunately, test coverage does not accurately reflect the extent to which the code is tested. All it does is show the amount of lines of code executed.
If I were to judge my technical level - I would say I’m an average engineer. I’m a senior engineer, but this seniority comes from experience, grueling + slow studying and a billion mistakes I made along the way - not because I learned quickly or can comprehend complex
1. Learn how to blind type. If you’re still looking down at your keyboard when typing - you are much slower than you can be. There's a bunch of websites for this. Here is one, for example. 2. Learn Vim (or emacs). Ever since I learned VIM,
An infix function provides better readability for operations that require two arguments/objects. It also operates the same way as an extension function. This means you can reference the fields of the receiver (in this example it's the Session class) implicitly without calling "this". In the
This actually applies everywhere in life - not just in programming. But in programming - it’s crucial to shorten your feedback loop. Recently, I’ve been working with some obscure Google services - Google Play Asset Delivery and Google Play Feature Delivery. Both are not very popular services and
One irritating thing about Google Play Console is that it will show you need to increment the versionCode AFTER you have uploaded and it has processed your build. I’m currently working with very large .aab and APK sizes for testing - and it takes quite a while to process
