Was watching @sebi.io's fantastic video on using Kotlin MCP SDK to control Hue lights (www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwev...) and he mentioned you could also run IntelliJ as MCP server....so used prompt here to build project (using Android Studio in my case) and set office lights to green if successful 😀

I gave the Driodcon NYC keynote this year: The Future of Kotlin, Android, and Everything. Doing a DC London version next week. Summary: CMP should be the default mobile option. Conference talks are a lot to sit through at home, though, so I made this: youtu.be/1od6fawbVbg

I'm back after being registered (but inactive) for a while.

Looking forward to more #androiddev discussions here. Hopefully, it will be a good replacement for "the other site" to discuss, share knowledge, information and inspiration for all things #Android and #KotlinMultiplatform related.
