Всем привет! Меня зовут Михаил, я главный эксперт в ОТП банке.Несколько лет я мечтал поработать на Kotlin. Мне это удалось - был большой проект РЖД, я вкатился, писал код, радовался.

Стало интересно: откуда и на фоне чего на самом деле появилось изображение?Оказалось, за изображением стоит не только страх перед новой технологией, но и война токов, борьба за городскую электрификацию,...
