Ask HN: Do others find Android work a bore compared to Web and/or C coding?
I'm very lucky to work with many different technologies.
These include:
* Web UIs (AngularJS/NodeJS)
* C, including embedded and protocol implementations
* Android Apps
I'm concerned that I don't enjoy my Android work, whereas I love Web and C work. Is this a common case? Are Android Apps really drudgery compared with Web and/or C coding? Or is it just my personal taste?

- madhouse 13y agoCoding in C is, in my experience, a terrible, terrible thing. There are part of it that are interesting, for a while, but every time I have to touch C, I get frustrated, because I have to run long laps to get anything meaningful done in a sane way. I can't imagine how android app coding would be worse, but arguably, I haven't tried.

- lsiebert 13y agoThe C standard library is small enough to memorize. Web Development likewise. Android combines xml design with java, so it's a lot of writing, and a huge set of libraries. Plus design for different screen sizes, versions... I can understand being annoyed..
