An OpenAI-compatible endpoint on localhost:8080 is all it takes to turn an agentic coding tool into a fully offline one — here is what the stack actually does, and where it leaks. Background Agentic coding assistants are, architecturally, thin clients.… Continue Reading
Von der Spec zum Client — auf allen Plattformen Wer heute eine mobile App baut, baut meistens zwei: eine für Android, eine für iOS. Und irgendwo dazwischen schreibt man denselben HTTP-Code zweimal. Kotlin Multiplatform verspricht, dieses Problem zu lösen, aber… Continue Reading
Dynamic programming is usually taught with mutable arrays and index arithmetic — Kotlin’s generateSequence and sequence { } let you express the same recurrences as infinite, lazily-evaluated streams. Background Classic dynamic programming (DP) involves filling a table bottom-up: allocate… Continue Reading
Kotlin has always marketed itself as functional-friendly, but until the K2 compiler era, inline lambdas had a subtle second-class limitation that forced awkward workarounds in functional-style code. Background Functional programming in Kotlin relies heavily on higher-order functions and lambdas —… Continue Reading
JetBrains Koog: A Kotlin-Native Agent Framework That Skips the Python Tax If your backend is Kotlin or Java and you want to add AI agents, you’ve been forced to either wrap a Python service or accept a framework that treats… Continue Reading
Writing shared business logic once and shipping it to both Android and iOS turns out to be far less painful than I expected. Background The premise of Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) has always sounded attractive: define your data models, network layer,… Continue Reading
Swift 6.3’s @c Attribute: Replacing @_cdecl and Making C Interop a First-Class Citizen For a decade, exposing Swift code to C required an underscore-prefixed, unsupported hack — Swift 6.3 finally makes it official. Background Swift has always been able to… Continue Reading
With Xcode 26.3, Apple quietly unlocked something big: native support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It’s an open standard that lets AI agents plug directly into Xcode and actually use it — not just suggest code. Tools like Claude Agent and… Continue Reading
The real AI shift for iOS engineers isn’t about ChatGPT generating SwiftUI views. It’s about the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that allows AI agents to directly operate your development tools. Building apps, running simulators, deploying to… Continue Reading
Despite the excitement around autonomous coding agents, the highest-leverage way to use LLMs today is deliberately — staying in the loop. That will change as AI improves, and eventually your role will shift to defining the what and the why. But we aren’t… Continue Reading
