Touchlab is a mobile development and innovation consultancy based in NYC. We specialize in Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) and partner with engineering managers investing in multiplatform development. Our podcast features two types of segments: 1. Touchlab Share is a technical podcast for developers, managers and engineering executives interested in strategies to share common code and accelerate mobile engineering with Kotlin Multiplatform. These episodes are typically longer format. 2. Touchlab Touchpoints is shorter format updates and commentary from events in the KMM community.

Episode Description
JetBrains just released its inaugural Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) survey. They write, "The Kotlin team has always relied on feedback from the community for making decisions about the future of the technology. You will always be our go-to people who know best how to make Kotlin even more enjoyable to work with!
This past November, we conducted our first-ever Kotlin Multiplatform survey with the goal of understanding how the recent changes in the technology have shaped the ways developers use it. This initiative was well received by the community, resulting in an astonishing 1163 replies and 614 fully filled-out surveys, which are the basis for this report. We want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to share their feedback with us.
As a result of this survey, we were able to get a much more complete understanding of our users, how the technology is generally used, and what problems need to be solved to help those using Kotlin Multiplatform for work, personal, or university projects and those who are thinking about adopting Kotlin Multiplatform."

They are shorter format reactions and commentary on the latest developments and updates in the Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) community. In this episode, Touchlab Dir. Project Strategy Justin Mancinelli shares reactions and implications from the KMP survey for managers interested in putting KMM into production at their organization.
