Devlog #3

Hello everyone! Have a great year! I've started a new side project (AGAIN) to work with Kotlin Multiplatform more. Apart I read a bit during those last months.

Reads 📖

• 🇬🇧How to become a more effective engineer. The title could seem a bit presumptuous but it's a nice read focusing on soft skills to acquire when starting in a new company or at least the ones needed to have a better understanding in your work environment.
• 🇬🇧How and Why I Stopped Buying New Laptops. This one is a bit old but still really relevant. I like how the author put it as a story with a context without blaming everyone not doing that immediately. Bonus point it's available in multiple languages.
• 🇬🇧 How to fork: Best practices and guide. Doing a fork can be intimidating, this article gives nice tips to do it nicely.
• 🇬🇧 Using Rust in Non-Rust Servers to Improve Performance. Sometimes I like when people take time to explain how they replace X by Y. Here the author is going step by step to do so with a Express application to a Rust powered server.
• 🇬🇧How atomic Git commits dramatically increased my productivity - and will increase yours too. Another good one about atomicity for Git commit. I'm hoarding those ones.
• 🇬🇧I am tired of AI. I don't like AI or at least not as we're promoting it right now. This post neither and it resonates a lot with my feelings.

Tools 🛠️

DISCLAIMER I'VE NOT TESTED ANY OF THESE but they seem pretty cool

• tummychow/git-absorb. I'm a huge fan of rebase -i. I like making surgery in my Git history however I also like being efficient about it and shipping quick fixes and going the whole process bothers me a bit. I really want to try this port and check how good (or bad) it is!
• Introducing Kotlin Money. It's been a while since I had to manage currency in a project. It's a tedious task and this library seems to make it easy.
