I did a bootcamp for Java, and lucked into a junior Android dev role, and man, I’ve really grown to love Kotlin. It really does have all the things I liked about Java, like type safety, but it’s so much more concise. It was pretty confusing at first, a lot of Kotlin is just syntactic sugar, and you kinda need to know what Kotlin is cutting out to make sense of things. But once I got into it, it just feels so much faster and expressive than Java.

I’m really happy when I see Kotlin being adopted outside of Android, like in backend services and such. But that rarely happens.

I admit I hadn’t read anything about the situation before that post - I only knew that GTA VI leaks occurred and wanted to know what the GTA community was saying. I read more after posting and people say Kurtaj is autistic, and I didn’t mean to imply that autism is something that requires “recovery.” It’s just the way people describe Kurtaj… like he’s some kind of mad super villain. He’s violent, well-spoken, extremely talented, irreverently defiant, obsessed with digital extortion, and reckless to his own detriment. Either Kurtaj is a highly singular personality or there’s something fishy going on here.

Can you elaborate more? What are “corporate simps” saying about Kurtaj exactly? If he’s mentally unwell, shouldn’t people be supporting efforts for his recovery?

Using Kotlin. I switched careers to Android development almost 2 years ago, and maybe it’s my first “real” language, I really like Kotlin and IntelliJ. I’ve been wanting to learn low-level stuff, too, maybe I’ll try C or C++. Or C# since that’s what my backend devs use. But this year’s puzzles have been pretty intense, so maybe I’ll wait on that
