You can just use the Kotlin compiler, or separate some scratch files in your Android Studio project. There’s nothing wrong with learning Kotlin, but learning Android development is using the whole toolbox at a beginner level.
The Kotlin compiler can be run from the command line. Doing it that way might separate your concerns.
Have you looked at using Compose? Philip Lackner has some easy tutorials to follow. It takes some of the major development hurdles out of your way.
Python has a one liner that just runs.
Is there a one liner that comes standard with Java now? There definitely hasn’t been before now.
Is there a simple way to do a http web server or socket? I’ve been looking around, but everything ends up being a page of instructions by the time I get it working.
Now do Stackoverflow
I live in my headphones. If anyone chatty is around I put headphones on as an indicator of concentration. (Not that it works)
Use a form attached to a spreadsheet FTLoG! What a finicky way to dunce your job!
I paid for Lynda.com, and it could have easily taken in more business if YouTube wasn’t working so hard for Google ads. There are a lot of paid (and free) services that suffer because of YouTubes ad-money business model.
Netflix could use the extra business. There are plenty of services failing to thrive while YouTube exists. Peertube would be wide open if YouTube went the way of most of Google’s stable of apps. PeerTube is wide open even if YouTube doesn’t go away anyway.
People genuinely hate ads. It’s a high degree of enshitification. YouTube could divide into paid content and free content in a simple Freemium model.
Or, add third tier with ads, which any user can opt out of in the same way contributers can. I’d be happy to click subscribe on an ad free experience with less content available to me.
Or, add an option for a couple of free tier items per month, week, or day. Like Medium’s business model.
It’s not hard to stop sucking!
Putting people on autopilot. The MS way!
This looks interesting, thanks!
A lot of blind courage is also missing. People used to answer to a lot of blind requests in a way that demanded a leap of faith and an effort to establish their own character. It also had a healthy dose of just wait and see. These days people can weasel out of uninformed situations quite a lot. So, we lean to shallow decision models with fewer good intentions accordingly.
He wanted that job!
I’ve been asked about this in foreign countries. “So, in your country people treat their pets better than other people?”

You’re expending resources for greater intelligence with diminishing returns. At some point you’re killing yourself, so hopefully you’ll acquire enough intelligence to end the button cycle.
Me: this looks derivative
Also me: take my upvote
Imagine life without concern and high expectations your dreams will be profitable. No wonder money makes money.
The more of us that take the hit the fewer people just going along.
I caught a trespasser the other day that said it wasn’t him. Totally believed him too /s
It does make sense in terms of working in a box for military awareness of enemy combatants. No expert, but that is something we’ve seen before.
