I did tech support and I definitely liked it. Climbed up the ranks quickly. Really the first job I was exceptionally good at. The problem was that not only the calls kept coming from fresh users that were just as uninformed as the ones I go

What I never quite understood is that I cannot filter or sort on score or something like "just give me the 12" singles". Apart from that Discogs and Whosampled are amazing resources for music freaks that thank god escaped the

C# is really great I've used it for cross-platform desktop applications but there are a lot of mobile developers that don't know it. .net has the nicest libraries in my opinion. If I look at the fights I need to have with Gradle e

The main reason to use Kotlin is that it looks like Swift and most Android engineers already use it. As an Objective-C and Swift developer I can read C and C++ and dibble a bit in it but to write serious code from scratch: forget it. Kotlin

I totally agree it's the biggest leap I've ever seen in a computer, I just thought everything would be getting better at the same rate for years. The only thing that happened was that PC CPU's got so fast you could have real

We had an issue with getting a new Android app we wrote that accessing the call logs for a legit business case (something that would benefit the user alone, not in any case sent to us) reviewed and it took months to resolve it. The best thi

This. Everything else that does more than mapping SQL results 1-1 to a query result and maybeeeee helps you with atomic actions like INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE ends up being a chore. They all have their own quirks like around threading and u

Getting AI in 2020 is like getting "a website" 1999. No idea what you really can do with it but it's cool to say you have it. Though the true benefit is all of those companies that relabeled their trusty optimization algorith

WebRTC is low latency by itself, otherwise you couldn’t have a video call. The challenge is to serve one WebRTC stream to 1,000,000 viewers while maintaining low latency

On my MacBook Pro 2015 I would have needed the dual thumb drive and SSD cables (unless I wanted to use the faster TB2 port, then I needed a third cable), an Ethernet dongle and still some converters for the Lightning EarPods. But disk speed

It's a bit strange in the same year they're going to present the first laptops sporting the new ARM chip. I mean the performance increase can be declared by the clock increase the smaller process allows alone. So either they put a

You need to go where your customers are. Our customers are startups so we went to every startup meeting we could find in our area, talking to people, perfecting our pitch. I assume there are places where your customers gather too.

If Epic itself cannot do it for less than 12% selling only the best earning category and serving barely any free games when they're trying to _prove_ that it can be done for less than 30% apparently running an App Store isn't as t

260 million earned by Apple by charging the 30% commission on 116 million users means Apple received US$2.24 per user and then has to deduct all costs of running the App Store before a profit remains. And this is just for Fortnite, a profit
