This article is a strange one. They mention WhatsApp and some other mobile products but then proceed to frame everything into the context of a browser. WebRTC works without a browser too FYI

This really just sounds like nit-picking, the language is miles ahead of most other languages.

You’re assuming the manager hired senior engineers who can competently know the best strategies in each. By contrast an inexperienced engineer might take the worst path

Title is incorrect should be: “Why I gave up on being an Android developer” The iOS development ecosystem is much more pleasurable to work in. I’ve had almost a decade of experience building BOTH native iOS and Android apps and the issues O

Pretty much this there are 400 active current issues in Texture, same issues when I worked at smaller companies who wanted to do the “cool” thing and follow FB. Unneeded abstractions

Sure. 4.) Put scrollview inside base view 5.) Register pan gesture and delegates and write logic for full, mid, none snap points You clearly don’t need another whole framework to do the above

What performance issues? You’re telling me the native implementation has performance issues over RN?

Yes I’ve worked at FAANG companies, and yes it’s great Instagram used AsyncDisplayKit (which is archived by the way). For most companies (maybe all), it’s not needed. Apple is doing a fantastic job abstracting views into SwiftUI and Androi

Lol at all the web dudes amazed by this, making this on native mobile is a breeze (Android and iOS)

Your article reminds me a lot of Brandon Kase’s talk regarding Algebriac animations written in Swift Highly recommended watch: https://youtu.be/dyiLLdkzzRc

I mean it’s pretty obvious, any abstraction that aims to consolidate multiple platforms will come at the cost of performance

Ha funny you mention this I actually said something similar though not as descriptive as what you stated in an interview before. I’m arguing this is not such a great thing because I’ve noticed a few things that have occurred due to me being

And the flagellation of Uber, Lyft continues I wonder if this is the straw that will eventually break the proverbial camels back and lead to the demise of ride share apps in the short term

All those features are present in other languages too, the premise that no other useful or mainstream languages don’t is false. For example Swift has all of those features.

Been writing Swift for years, this is a very weak argument :)

Unfortunately this is often the case at larger companies, unless you find a really cool manager / PM to work under who just trusts you — note this can be achieved over time. I’m talking from personal experience of going rogue :)

So I’m curious will property and rental prices drop in San Francisco now that funding is drying up? Can’t seem to find much information about that. For example a friend of mine who was laid off still has to pay $3300 / month for his st

It could be a multitude of reasons. Try not to think of it as a robotic pipeline even though it appears that way. The interviewer could have been sincere but there are a lot of hard decisions / politics / etc. behind the scenes: •

As an alternative if you build SDKs or do work in gaming, mobile, or anything involving images really you will end up understanding / implementing this or more than this.

I’m sorry to knock down OP here but I’ve been doing Mac development for a long long time. A default app to me as a bare minimum involves: • Custom Application class • URI specifications • Custom NSDocument • Custom window controller • Cus

It’s been 6 years since Valhalla was announced why it’s still in prototype befuddles me. If anything, getting value types out the door will have significant performance improvements and least barrier of entry for current java / jvm bas

Would be great if Records were actually bonafide value types lol as in not allocated on the heap. Otherwise it’s just nice syntactic sugar like data classes in Kotlin

1 Some people here are mentioning code reviews for their teams and how they don’t enjoy that. I would say this article is missing a fair point. I’ve learned a lot by just browsing Github. For example if I’m interested in solving a Caching

I’m not sure how much this matters but I’ve been on TRT therapy for a while now and I remember before I started my limbs would get so cold, and hands would be so cold to touch. After therapy my significant other tells me I’m like a body hea
