Kotlin Coroutines: Have you ever wondered if you need to call suspend functions of Retrofit and Room on a background thread? I wrote a blogpost that answers this question! https://www.lukaslechner.com/do-i-need-to-call-suspend-functions-of-retrofit-and-room-on-a-background-thread/

Testing: using assertSoftly to handle multiple assertions in one test method: https://kotlintesting.com/assert-softly-when-one-assertion-is-not-enough/

I’ve created a Gradle plugin that forces you to call inline class constructor within that class. It means you can validate inline class value with factory method! I’d love your feedback to find corner cases, thanks 😘 https://github.com/Monchi/no-public-inline-class-call
