How was one of the most loved programming languages - Kotlin - created, and what is next after it? This is a rare and special conversation with Kotlin creator Andrey Breslav, with so many fascinating details on how Kotlin became the global success as it is today.

A presentation so nice, I'm doing it twice.
I'll be delivering my Building Reliable Workflows in Java talk again on Feb 24th, this time in Seattle. If you're a Java (or Kotlin!) developer, come hear all about what you can do with DBOS.

Dear media, stop acting like Trump means what he says
Whether over "a deal" on Greenland or a "pivot" on ICE, we need far more skepticism
