Hi everybody, published two super short articles about some Kotlin features on medium and would like to know your opinions. Is that something someone wants to read?

In your first article, as the assumption seems to be that the reader doesn't already know about `also`, I would explain a bit more about what it is, and why it works.
Additionally, I would mention more about why the `try`/`finally` is a code smell. For example, it introduces minor overhead and prevents optimizations that may be possible without it, and may cause bad behavior if you called a method in the `try` block, but no longer reliably know your state if an exception occurs, so the `finally` block could make things worse and even throw its own exception.
