Working on an enterprise application written in Kotlin, I’ve recently noticed something that felt “off” to me.

KotlinToday shut down after several years.

Kotlin, despite being an object oriented language, offers a ton of support for Functional paradigms.

Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) has became quite a popular strategy for writing tests in the past ten or so years.

Scrum is designed to be simple.

Kotlin has a concept known as sealed hierarchies (several other languages implement this feature as well).

After reading Spotify Lead Designer Tobias van Schneider’s outstanding post on side projects , I wanted to expand upon my feelings about them as well.

I’ve been working with Kotlin a ton recently, both at work and for fun.

I started writing this article almost 2 years ago.

The NPM team has always done a pretty good job of not requiring a specific version of NPM to execute most of it’s commands properly.

Butterknife is a simple but fantastic tool for Android development.

IE: Seven cheap (or free) tools we use on Porios and you should use too!

It’s pretty common to find yourself working with generics in Scala, but you may find yourself where you want a generic with some constraints.

Nothing crazy here, I’ve just found myself chaining together pipes for something that I feel should ship with NPM.

Sometimes, you may find yourself in a situation (like using Scala with Spring) where you need to generate a Java bean but would like to do that in Scala.

Charles Proxy is an outstanding development tool that I’ve recently started to fall in love with.

Hello there Android developer or curious onlooker.

Scala has, in it’s core library, several classes that are intended to contain (at some point or another) some object.

The first thing I do when I my hands on a new Macbook is install Homebrew.

A common theme with web applications is to run tasks in the background.

If you’ve ever manually provisioned a server before, you know the feeling of excitement that you receive once you’re finished and your application is running on a remote machine.

It’s late at night so I’ll keep this post short.

Recently on Porios, I added the ability to do fuzzy text searches with Trigrams.

As someone whose first job consisted of one codebase, production, and FTP deploys I can say that our developer tools have come a long way.

Hello there!

I’ve been writing Clojure for a while now, but my day job is still predominantly JavaScript and Java.

For some strange reason, the vast majority of my blog readers are Python Developers.

Thanks for tuning in for another fantastic awesome hardcore slippery blog post!

Hello again!

Welcome back!

Deep diving back into Clojure!

So you’ve been working with Android for weeks now, and you’ve all but mastered the ability to start a new activity with an intent.

Alright, at it again with another PHP post.

I’ve been exposed to a lot of PHP recently!

Today we’re going to talk about the thread macro (->) and how to manipulate functions to fit them into your “thread pipeline”.

First – an apology.

I recently started working on part three of my Zero-To-Hero series, which gives us a chance to leverage a RecyclerView and List Adapter for our Todo/Habit application.

Oh, hey, didn’t see you there.

App development is never a straight-forward task.

I’ve decided to try something new with this post and start a new series called Zero to Hero.

Today wasn’t the day, but I remember it like it was.

Android comes with a ton of widgets, gizmos, and gadgets (maybe just widgets) out of the box, but it can be difficult to find one that works exactly how you would expect it to.

I recently read this amazing article by Josh Mock and felt the need to share it.

Type systems are a tricky thing.

One thing I’ve learned recently from Clojure (don’t worry, this post is about JavaScript) is that laziness is great.

First – a bit of background.

Let’s be honest – Part of the reason you’re using Clojure is the higher order functions like map.
