How to Use Kotlin's Timing API

Kotlin's Timing API is stable as of Kotlin 1.9, and it offers some great ways to both measure and specify time. In this video, we'll take a tour through the main features of this API so that you can start using durations and time marks like a pro!

I"m here because your blog sent me to your linkedin that sent me to your YT :D I just wanted to thank you i loooove your blog it's helping me so much understand things i was never able to understand (as lambda functions, generic variance etc). You're awesome really really excellent THANK YOU

I would love to see a video about generics in kotlin

These last two videos were really helpful. Thank you!

One question: When injecting the TimeSource as a constructor argument, is there any problem with defining the source (TimeSource.Monotonic) as a Single(ton), e.g. in Koin?
Or should it rather be created anew for each instance?

Duration object is such an obvious thing and yet everyone keeps just throwing integers around and hoping everyone interprets them correctly. At least outside of Kotlin.
