Kotlin’s official documentation is great and there are many introductory articles to Kotlin language on medium, so I won’t be explaining the basics and syntax but wanted to present some unique features that Java doesn’t have and makes Kotlin stand out. So, I was hearing a lot about Kotlin lately and decided to give it a try.

Every time we interact with software that displays a table, we can expect the columns to be sortable like this: Sort-By-Colunn is a great pattern when all the data can fit in the browser.

In a previous article , I wrote about how models like DALL-E and Imagen disassociate ideas from technique. It’s easy to imagine a lot of software professionals saying, “Of course you’ll have to know C. Is the craft of software architecture different from the craft of programming? With DALL-E, that’s no longer true.

It's a given that we must design a system, including a local software architecture, that actually runs, that is "solid."
