I agree completely, but while my process on the Android side isn't as fast as web development, it is improving as testing tools get better. More and more my process is to edit some XML file, hit the go button, and wait 16 seconds for t

Really? I make like... 3 calls a week from my phone, generally of low importance. I deal in hundreds of emails which range from the trivial to bank account details. Why would I trust Google with the latter and not the former?

I had a play with a whole bunch of small to mid-size Android phones and concluded that the S4 mini is quite nice. It isn't as anemic relative to the S4 as the S3 mini was to the S3, and it looks and feels good. It's about the size

I agree 100%, a simple "ID checked" flag would be OK. Where I think the DPA fits into it is that without the DPA, a lot more people would store those details just because. With the DPA in place I'm a lot more comfortable shar

Better TL;DR: Would you rather have 10% of functions commented or 90%? Author argues that 10% is better, if all functions are documented then documentation is obvious, noise, and often wrong. Document the non-obvious cases.
