You'll save a lot of time doing it in Photoshop/Illustrator. If it takes other screens and API requests to get to the UI you're building, it'll take a while before you can see what your code does. Using images, especiall

How much time did you spend testing these apps, or what tools did you use for testing? I'm really amazed at how you were able to put four out in the open in one weekend. I usually spend quite a lot of time fixing bugs.

Can someone make recommendations for me? Here's what I already know and what I've built with it: - Java. My first real programming language, learned in college, used for a year and a half in enterprise work and Android, got pretty

Agree. There's so much generalization that I can't even identify with any of the two groups. I like side projects a lot but I also care about documentation. I like being alone but I'm not an introvert and I don't hate or

Anyone else feel that no one knows this "next-generation social network" better than, well, the next generation? I'm talking about today's young teens and little kids. Facebook took off during our time because we were t

It seems that Bitcoin will have a hard time recovering in the first two scenarios, yes? And I looked at the other cryptocurrencies but I'm not sure they're gaining any traction. If they do, however, why can't they just co-exi

How about Amazon? I imagine they also have pretty good R&D there but I couldn't find anything.

So do you mean to say that the Philippines should be in a condition just as good as the US? There are many variables unique to the political situation in the Philippines that US politics doesn't have, I'm not making excuses, but I

I feel that this is also because of the tech world is still watching who's going to build the "Facebook killer." There are many companies that tried but I think the fact that they are contemporaries of Facebook already put th

Yes, yes! I am so glad somebody mentioned this. The political system in the Philippines is so rotten that it gets in the way of any intelligent, scientific solution ever proposed to every problem the country has. I personally think that tha

What's worse is that these disasters have been happening regularly since 2009, when Typhoon Ketsana (known locally as Ondoy) struck the capital. What has the government done to really damage-proof the Philippines since? It was obvious

I wouldn't say that like it's that easy. Not a good time to talk politics, but I think that the long history of corruption in the government has a lot to do with the unpreparedness for the disasters (including the preceding earthq

Who actually uses this in the Philippines? The tool always gets shared across social networks whenever there's a typhoon but I've never heard of people actually finding lost families/friends with it.

I like working on the back-end more because of the challenges, but I also like doing front-end IF the platform is either Android/iOS. I feel like web front-end work takes too much time.
