Yes it's a dirty world overall, but Android Studio - all its issues notwithstanding - is a great improvement over Eclipse regardless, and an awesome IDE. At least in terms of software design as such.

Well, yes, it always happens to someone - I mean, every upgrade will break some stuff for some devs. After all, the userbase of Android Studio is quite sizeable. What I find hard to believe is that these problems would hit the same bunc

My experience (full-time Android dev) falls somewhat in the middle. This sort of compatibility breaking was fairly common back in the AS 1.X/early 2.X days. As of now, it's really rare, and usually resolves automatically.

It's really fast, but it depends what the starting point was. A lot of it could have been just water, if they were obese to begin with.

I disagree. Taking a gap year is a bigger career disruption than simply changing employers. It's not by coincidence that one is much more common than the other. The willingness to do former indicates lesser degree of dependence (or sen

It's not a good analogy the way you put it, because having more than one employer in and of itself is so very common that it's hard to be biased against it. However a dinstinctly high frequency of changing jobs, say in the 90th
