Kotlin's success has made its support of producing binaries only 3 minor versions back too rigid. I wrote a post about it and I would love your input. https://www.liutikas.net/2026/09/15/Kotlin-Double-Bind.html #kotlin

It looks like I'm coming to London in December! I'm excited to tell you about even more catching that you could be doing!

It is awesome when you find a company really stands behind their word. I bought a PeakDesign backpack in 2016, last week a zipper broke, reached out to them, and they send me a new bag as each bag has a lifetime warranty. That is just awesome! I wish there were more companies like that.

@scottjenson@social.coop I was there two weeks ago. On top of all of this cool stuff it also has stunning architecture!

@jendrik@mastodon.social welp. This is not a good look 😔

@jw@mastodon.jakewharton.com congrats on the new gig. I'm glad you found a place you are excited about!

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange I think it is really difficult to maintain and sustain more than just the latest version of a piece of software, which then in turn leads to fixes shipping together with features. Having had to back port security fixes to an old version of Android I really feel for picking the lowest cost way out.

If you ever needed an excuse to upgrade AGP and get faster! https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/07/how-r8-made-kotlin-coroutines-2x-faster.html

@pacavegano @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange so every OS version for every device for as long as they sell a device?

@pacavegano @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange what do you think they should do instead?

@dalias@hachyderm.io copilot is on by default too as far as I can tell. I had to turn it off.

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange what do you think is a reasonable and sustainable software update model? How many versions behind do you back port fixes to? For how many months/years?
