This article was originally published on wilfried.hashnode.dev Static analysis isn't about making your code "look nice." It's about catching the kind of problems that quietly slow teams down: hidden complexity, fragile logic, and maintainability debt. In most Android codebases, quality doesn't degrade because engineers don't care—it degrades because there's no consistent, automated feedback loop. That's where detekt comes in. This article kicks off a practical series on using detekt in real proj

philliant on youtube is the companion to the writing

thesis philliant.com is still the main home for my writing. the channel is philliant on youtube, and it is going to be the companion space where i talk through the posts, explain the chapters, and add the kind of spoken context that does not always fit cleanly on the page. most of what i publish starts here on the site. the shorter posts live in the posts section, and they cover the mix of ideas i keep coming back to, including technology, data engineering, ai workflows, productivity, and the
