Did you know? The using keyword has two completely different meanings. You can use it to import classes from different namespaces at the top of a file, or to ensure deterministic cleanup in a method body. It’s not the only keyword that has multiple meanings. See how many you can think of. Welcome to dotInsights […] …

A few years back, the Kotlin team figured it was time their programming language had a mascot – something fun and friendly to make developers feel more at home. After all, so many other programming languages have their own characters – Gofer, elePHPant, Dart’s Dash, or Rust’s Ferris, for example. Bringing Kodee to life …

We need to have a mandatory meeting. I know, I know, but this one doesn’t ask you to turn your camera on or pretend you didn’t just wake up. It’ll just be you, your coffee, and six things worth your attention. Unlike most meetings, this one ends with a stronger LinkedIn profile, a couple of […] Link to article: …

Agentic coding benchmarks are getting closer to real-world software development. For Kotlin teams, the most important question is how reliably AI agents can complete end-to-end Kotlin tasks, from reading an issue to producing a solution that passes validation. We’re taking the first step in addressing that gap by …

What we’re building toward As the share of code written by AI agents grows rapidly, two questions are central to effective AI adoption: How can teams turn AI usage into real productivity gains, and how can they maintain quality, security, and control while doing so? CI/CD is critical to both. Every contribution, …

In any recent model comparison, you’ve probably seen a single number from a coding benchmark to represent “How good this model is at coding”. Those scores are tempting: they’re simple, they’re leaderboard-friendly, and they seem to tell a clear story about progress. But that story didn’t hold up when we looked more …

We’re about to start rolling out a new set of AI capabilities that provide shared context, reusable agentic workflows, organization-level governance, and cost control for software production. Developers use different AI tools depending on the task – from JetBrains IDEs to terminal-based agents such as Claude Code, …

It’s a situation you’ve probably experienced before: late in your development process, a security vulnerability surfaces during final testing, weeks after the code was written. As a result, you find yourself context-switching from your current sprint, reconstructing decisions you made a month ago, and trying to …

If you’ve ever debugged your own C++ containers, strings, or hash tables on Linux or macOS, you know the deal: to see anything useful in the debugger, you have to write a custom data formatter. And writing a good data formatter is genuinely painful. Often, the formatter ends up longer and harder to follow than […] Link …

A paired A/B benchmark of the token-compression skill Caveman on Claude Code, run on SkillsBench: does it actually save tokens, and does it degrade AI agent output quality? Advertised saving: 65%. Measured saving: 8.5%. Output-token saving on real agentic tasks, with the skill forcibly activated. This is the ceiling, …
