Pointless app unless your circle of friends is absolutely glued to their phones. Only utilizes foursquare and instagram too. Great UI though, I really like it.

My current day job is a mobile frontend developer. I'm not thinking up intense algorithms, doing crazy math, calculations, or whatnot. The hardest thing I do is performance optimization, and since the apps we develop right now are incr

That is exactly what I'm doing, thanks. I've realized slowly that I'm actually a huge extrovert, and that I need to see someone for at the very least a beer, every week or two, to fill that bar up. Once I feel it draining, I

You're right, but as a writer, if you mess up something so simple as somebodies job title, then your integrity takes a hit. I want a solid piece, that includes getting minutia like this right.

If the author couldn't make this distinction, I wonder what else they missed? Integrity is required all across the board, and it reflects poorly on you as a writer if you mess up something so central and easy in the title of your artic

I work at a major north american bank as a mobile developer. Windows XP laptop from 2005, completely locked down so we can hardly do anything. We develop, strictly on that laptop, for 12 separate devices. There are 8 of us working in a 14&#

OP: I am 20. I cold call businesses, I wait outside large corporations, just to have the opportunity to buy people coffee/talk to them. I did this a bit and got a few leads. I now have 4 clients, each on a 25k+ mobile app dev contract,
