When you hear JPA, you think #Java. But what about #Kotlin?
This code looks correct, but a DB-generated ID changes after save() and entities disappear from HashSet/Map. Val and non-null types give false guarantees due to the reflection.
How to avoid it 👇

What if you could perform actions in #IntelliJIDEA without having to know the shortcuts? Command completion, an extension of regular code completion, offers you relevant action right in your editor. Learn more in this video by @maritvandijk.bsky.social 📹 👇

Too many shortcuts to remember? With command completion, you only need one.

Move forward with your code.
As simple as typing a dot or two.

Each January, I take the badges from all the events I spoke at last year, frame them, and hang them on the wall.

Here's 2025: 20 talks, 7 workshops, 18 events, 11 countries.
