Kotlin – Jupiter Broadcasting

We all know that not having automated tests is a sign of developers taking risky shortcuts. However, we tend to be a little shy as to why we so often feel compelled to take this shortcut — client budgets

It was only after completing a large task in Kotlin that I realized my career outlook would be forever changed.

How Apple Plans to Root Out Bugs, Revamp iPhone Software

These features were delayed after Apple Inc. concluded it needed its own major upgrade in the way the company develops and introduces new products. Instead of keeping engineers on a relentless annual schedule and cramming features into a single update, Apple will start focusing on the next two years of updates for its iPhone and iPad operating system, according to people familiar with the change.

How To Backup Your Git Repository To DigitalOcean Spaces

Microsoft releases PowerShell Core 6.0 for Windows, macOS and Linux

Microsoft has released an updated version of PowerShell which adds support for macOS and Linux. PowerShell Core 6.0 uses .NET Core rather than the .NET framework, and this means it is able to break out of being a Windows-only tool.

Difference between PowerShell and PowerShell Core

However, there are currently no plans to introduce new functionality to Windows PowerShell. This means that the risk of regression will be very low for Windows PowerShell, so you can count on it as a stable platform for your existing workloads.

Mike gets the community bug, and its a feature!

I had a great time at @DevFestFL yesterday at Disney World and it reminded me how many great #dev / #tech community events there are all around. I’m going to make a commitment for the rest of this year to either go to or host a community event once per month. #CoderRadio listeners, I’m looking for you to guide me on where to go. I live in FL but am very comfortable traveling to NYC or elsewhere if it makes sense. Who’s with me?

Kotlin/Native v0.4 released: Objective-C interop, WebAssembly and more

We’re happy to announce the release of Kotlin/Native v0.4, KotlinConf 2017 edition! This release adds support for accessing Objective-C APIs on iOS and macOS, WebAssembly target platform, as well as introduces major changes making app development in Kotlin/Native way easier.

What is technical debt? And why does almost every startup have it?

Technical debt is any code added now that will take more work to fix at a later time — typically with the purpose of achieving rapid gains.

Surprise, I ported Windows Defender to Linux. https://t.co/7eP48O87Vi

This repository contains a library that allows native Linux programs to load
and call functions from a Windows DLL.

The largest Git repo on the planet

ver the past 3 months, we have largely completed the rollout of Git/GVFS to the Windows team at Microsoft.

Microsoft now uses Git and GVFS to develop Windows – TechCrunch

Microsoft today announced that virtually all of its engineers now use the Git version control system to develop its Windows operating system. The Windows Git repository includes about 3.5 million files that weigh in at about 300GB when you check them into Git. Git, however, wasn’t built for a project of this size, so Microsoft developed the Git Virtual File System to be able to get the benefits of using Git without having to wait hours for even the simplest of Git commands to run.
