KMP requires an umbrella module for native iOS integration, but what if you want to version/update multiple features independently?

💡 You can publish klibs of your KMP features (no binaries), and then build a final umbrella framework in the iOS project: https://t.co/nTOB94Xnwa

Imposter syndrome is more common in tech than we often think.

It’s the feeling that your success isn’t deserved.
That you’ve fooled others into thinking you’re more capable than you are.
And that eventually you’ll be “found out”.

For many developers, this doesn’t just stay as a passing thought. And it influences the way they’re working.

Over time, this can lead to anxiety, exhaustion and burn out.

And our data reflects this!

According to JetBrains’ Developer Ecosystem 2025 report, only 47% of devs rarely or never doubt their abilities. But 53% of software engineers experience imposter syndrome.

And the image is not evenly distributed:

Women and non-binary professionals report higher levels than men (67% compared to 52%)
Junior devs report frequent self-doubt at nearly double the rate of senior developers (33% vs 17%)

This #MentalHealthMonth it is worth remembering these feelings are common. You are not alone.
