   I'm starting to prefer using code for layout, since it does make some things easier. When I inherit a large project, it's nice to be able to search & easily change stuff in code rather than having to tweak lots of xibs.

   At my last job (developing cross-platform mobile games for iOS & Android), we wrote our game engine in C++ with Cocos2d-X, with Lua bindings for every OS feature, such as in-app purchase, HTTP client, all Cocoas2d objects, etc. with all

    When I got my Nexus 7 I thought it was the perfect size, but I hated Android since all of the apps look unfinished & rough compared to iOS apps. I immediately wanted something the same size but running iOS instead.
