I need a back seat driver once in a while.

I pair program so every now and then but its not my favourite thing to do

I like it for complex issues where discussion is more prevalent than writing. We can talk for 20 minutes and then write two lines of code.

We had an issue today which I thought would be a massive rewrite. It ended up being 7 well placed lines of code.

thats not pair programming, thats having a good time

Hehe 🙂

pair programming is being frustrated because you dont have the keybaord and the guy is not getting what you want

I always have the keyboard 💪 😎

well sometimes I try to be social :here should be a emoji for fail:

I'm playing with a use case that might be converted to coroutines later. I need to load a subscription but also the complete customer, then show an editor. Currently it looks like this, which is not super nice:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

I believe coroutines could clean this up.

But another thing to think about is concurrency. Ideally I'd like to fire off the two remoting calls (

getSubscription()

and

getCustomer()

) simultaneously and load the editor once both objects are available.

The code does not look too bad

But firing of two threads would be cool

Yeah, I think that would be a useful pattern to support. I think Rx might have solutions for this, isn't that right @thomasnield?

you could actually also make a use case out of kphoto as it reads in loads of directories. would be nice to spin of several threads for reading directories

I still have that java code for autocomplete textfield and datadriven treeview

@ron Yeah, that's another one, albeit a bit different.

need to do something with that too

Yes, for sure. Several people have asked about datadriven treeview.

The new

bindChildren

function actually turns almost any layout into a datadriven component, with the exception of item controls.

yeah but does it work with a treeview?

@edvin - wouldn't you use coroutines based on completeable futures - kotlinx-coroutines-jdk8?

@gtnarg That sounds just like what we need. I haven't looked at it yet 🙂

@edvin - me neither - just trying to point you in the right direction 🙂

Thank you 🙂 If you feel like taking the lead on this you're very welcome. Still swamped and my backlog is growing.

@edvin make your backlog readonly?

I use kind of a GTD system on trello

@ron That would solve half the problem.
