Welcome to episode 2 of A Touch of Multiplatform (ATOM)! This is our new podcast dedicated to Kotlin Multiplatform technology in production and produced for you by JetBrains and Touchlab.
In this episode, we sit down to talk with Jake Wharton and Jesse Wilson from Cash App about “weird and ambitious multiplatform things.” Join us in a conversation that ranges from work set-ups and music choice while coding to the recent KMM Beta and writing better shared APIs for iOS consumers to unique projects Jake and Jesse are currently involved with.
