I’m talking about the level of organization. There’s a difference between saying “the best way to resolve this conversation is to ask everyone present for a vote” and “there’s going to be another cyclical election soon, these will be the matters we’re going to vote on.” Counting ayes and nays doesn’t make things a capital-D Democracy, it’s the institutionalization of these practices.
It doesn’t sound like there are any elections, or representatives, or bills or candidates to vote on. Just conducting an ad-hoc “all in favor say aye” type of vote doesn’t mean it’s a democracy. Just because many people come to a consensus doesn’t mean it’s a democracy.
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.
Thought I was going to show my inexperience because so many posts here are Unix/vim. I’d love to be that kind of wizard… but I think Adobe has spoiled me for UI and JetBrains definitely has that vibe (maybe for the worse just as much as the better)
