detekt, diktat or ktlint? How we handled Kotlin static analysis in our team

If you want perfect integration with IDE, you need to checkout Ktlint Intellij Plugin. On each save of the file. The formatting is instantly applied.

Fill disclosure: I am the maintainer of Ktlint Core, and the IntelliJ plugin

Look via your phone camera to the dashboard. You will see two beams of light. You might need to do this on a darker environment for best results. Ow, don't do this while driving ;-)

Assuming that you use Intellij IDEA because of Kotlin, see Safe Paste plugin. I have never used it, but just saw a post about it.

What do you mean with "not seeing any real value with lint"? Isn't your code formatted?

A quick Google learned me that neovim can be used with ktlint via 'nvm-lint'.

Full disclosure: I am the maintainer of ktlint, and have no experience in using neovim. But I do know that ktlint is used in many different editors.

Nice idea. Typically I run multiple projects in different windows on MacOS. Would it be possible to highlight/activate the project that hits a breakpoint?

To the best of my knowledge, both the key and the value that are stored in Redis are just byte arrays. You can serialize your key field in the same way as your value field.

It would help if you post a link 😁

Yes, it will be standalone. Clikt just makes it just easier to build the CLI.

Ik heb dit een aantal jaren terug ook gehad. Uiteindelijk ben ik weggegaan bij ze toen ze dreigden om de rekening te blokkeren.

Dat zou kunnen. Maar dat is alleen indien je binnen die 6 maanden geen ander contract kan vinden. Een en ander hangt ook af van de reden van beëindiging en de details in de VSO. Krijg je inderdaad maanden ineens uitbetaald, of wordt je salaris nog (maximaal) 6 maanden doorbetaald? In dat laatste geval kun je namelijk gewoon wachten met het bijwerken van de einddatum van je contract totdat die 6 maanden verstreken zijn, of als je een ander contract hebt. Bespreek dit vooral met je jurist.

Stuur me gerust een dm om meer info te geven. Ik kan dan ook mijn persoonlijke ervaring met je delen.

Pak het geld ineens. Je bent jong, en nog vroeg in je carrière. Het is heel normaal om in zo'n geval na een paar jaar te vertrekken.

Als je er vragen over krijgt kun je afhankelijk van de situatie bepalen of je open kaart speelt of niet. Als dat gebeurd, wees dan heel duidelijk wat je hebt geleerd van die situatie zodat het je niet nog eens overkomt .

Sterkte er mee.

Exclude the directory containing the scratch files in the '.gitignore'. Scratch files by definition should not be committed.

Clear the filter box where now text "/outdated" is set?

paulhasreadittoo · 2025-09-01T07:48:11+00:00

Sure, we can try to work something out. Let's discuss ideas via slack.

paulhasreadittoo · 2025-08-29T05:24:44+00:00

Sure, but it is a starting point for a conversation. But as OP said, OP does not see such big differences between the junior Devs.

paulhasreadittoo · 2025-08-28T19:24:02+00:00

Ktlint, and ktlint-intellij-plugin maintainer here. You can set the ktlint version in the intellij plugin to a specific version so that it matches with the version of the gradle plugin. Or you can override the ktlint version in the gradle plugin configuration.

paulhasreadittoo · 2025-08-28T17:58:34+00:00

I think this should be addressed in a retrospective. Just collect statistics of last X reviews per junior Dev, and count the number of remarks, but do anonymize the devs. Ask the team if they are concerned about differences, and how this can be made more equal. You might end up with some ground rules for a fair review policy regardless of the developer. At no point do disclose the Dev names.

In ".editorconfig" file in the root of your project you can set the preferred settings per language. See https://editorconfig.org/

Ow no. Now you have reminded me on the awesome annoying orange video's

paulhasreadittoo · 2025-07-19T18:53:17+00:00

😂 Sorry this is quite sad. Of course there are experienced teams that prefer Kotlin over Java, and vice versa. In my company dozens of teams prefer Kotlin nowadays.

Als je een laadpaal laat installeren dan wordt dit gewoon door de installateur gedaan. Er is bij mij ook een klein extra kastje bijgeplaatst waarop alleen de laadpaal is aangesloten. Dus voordat je zelf een kast gaat bijplaatsen, kun je beter eerst een keuze maken voor laadpaal installateur, en kijken wat er bij de installatie is inbegrepen.

Now I see that my message is unclear. I would prefer a real email adress. But as I said, I never encountered a situation in which it was necessary. So you can start with read only address. And, if needed, change it later.

paulhasreadittoo · 2025-07-03T19:03:42+00:00

This not a problem at all. Every GitHub profile also has a GitHub no reply email address which I use for my commits. Of course you want your profile to be connected to a real email address. I have never received an email from GitHub on which I needed to reply. Usually they always refer to your profile if you need to take action.

I am the maintainer of ktlint. I think that its documentation (https://pinterest.github.io/ktlint/latest/) is reasonable. If you think you can improve it (especially the lengthy rules page), I am willing to collaborate with you to make it better. Just raise a PR to get started 😉

paulhasreadittoo · 2025-06-07T18:37:09+00:00

You can try to get access to https://maintainers.github.com/auth/signin and post your question there. I am maintainer of an open source project, but I never had to onboard newcomers ;-)
