In this episode we chat to Ana Redmond about her adoption of Kotlin/Native for multi-platform development very close to the time it was announced. She went fully onboard with the technology and managed to develop and release a successful educational game. Very inspiring story of someone that went from not knowing Kotlin or Swift, to release a product in a short span of time.
Dialling Back with Annyce Davis
We sit down with Annyce to discuss the use of Kotlin features and whether or not we're often abusing these in detriment of creating maintainable code. We chat about code review practices, design principles and even the DLR principle! We even talk about Googling
Kotlin and Android

Using Kotlin for backend development at Flux
We chat with the folks from Flux around their use of Kotlin on the backend, to develop a service that replaces paper receipts.
