- Cordova-based Android app developer
- grrowl 11y agoI left my last job after management sold a Cordova solution. We didn't have the tech in-house to dev/test, but had already sold it anyway, leading to a death spiral of developer hell as we needed to support Android 4.0.1, our Android test phone was a $30 LG which barely displayed the home screen. iOS worked great — or at least, predictably enough to repro + fix anything we caught.
- joshstrange 11y ago> our Android test phone was a $30 LG which barely displayed the home screen Ugh I know this pain, I did some Titanium Appcelerator development for a while and I had the newest iPhone a previous gen to test with but the Android phone was worse than bargain bin. It really skewed my perception of Android and it was hell working with such a shitty device. On top of management wating it to work on super old phones (needs to work "everywhere" and my QA consisted of me with a single phone and a laptop that could barely run the simulator (which was really shitty back then, I've heard it's gotten better). I hated that shit.
