True, that is one way to look at it, but another is that they are a family providing for each other. It really depends on the agency. As with all things in life, there are good and bad examples. Again, I have had one set of experiences an

I disagree. Apparently, you have had one set of bad experiences with an Agency. I have had a rather good experience. At an Agency, I am usually brought in for green field projects that larger companies don't feel their team either has

OP here, I learned a lot from asking this question. Specifically that the Deadlines I have seen fail, were not due to Agile, but failure to implement Agile. Agile takes buy in both from the Customer, managers and dev team. This also takes e

In Seattle, taking a 45 minute train ride can be the difference in 300K or more for buying a house. I wonder if other cities are similar?

agreed, it looks like there is this open ticket: https://github.com/facebook/stetho/issues/14 Would be really dope if they got that integrated into the elements tab.

How is that really a proxy if it gets compiled into your application? From what others have said it sounds like the real mechanism is over adb.

In my experience, leaving that 70% to Project Manager's usually means giving it up to someone who doesn't understand software. Sure, they might have a business school understanding of what software is, but it's not the same a

Ah and I had just finally coughed up 50 dollars for my Charles license. Charles is a nice tool, but this seems so much nicer as I don't see anywhere that the user is required to setup a proxy manually on the phone. This does make me wo

weird to think about, but what if the scenario had been different and her account was hacked? How would it have gone, would there have been any vindication or recovery or would she have ended up in the same boat?

What is this? I read the first few paragraphs and couldn't keep track of where it was going and lost interest. Can someone explain to me why this is at the top of HN and why I should read it?

You need a new job (as do I probably). There are companies that are not like this, and clients that value developers with exactly these skill sets.

I was lucky enough to start my career at a place which appreciated stable working software and the principle of slowing the fuck down. Then I had the unfortunate experience of changing jobs and ending up at a place where speed was king. Dev

Applying the God principle to this, there should never be merge conflicts. I should get notified that the file has changed before I even change it. That is how I imagine it would be if a God made it.

I feel the same way, but whenever I vocalize this viewpoint on meta I get downvoted into oblivion and wind up deleting my post.

I remember when it first came out and developers in my area would kind of gloat over it and being one of the chosen "glass explorers". they would wear it to meetups and brag about the apps they were developing for it. I'm kin

heh I love their openness and I also love their app and API. From a consumer perspective, I'm happy for them and hope they don't go away anytime soon. And in case you're not aware their hourly feed has kick ass data that is a

There is that fear that you are always replaceable and your job will be outsourced. Because of that there is constant belittling and critique. It all comes down to insecurity.

It strikes me that most of these points can be automated (well depending on the language perhaps). I prefer automating and blocking checkin's based on criteria like these. Leave code reviews for design discussion.

The problem I have found is not early optimization, but knowing what to optimize early and what can wait. Everything in a system can be optimized, but there obviously isn't the time to do this. I work in Android, so optimizing I look a

You missed my point. People are prepared to talk about their resume, but when you dig in to their past experience and specifics that is where you get to the interesting discussions. Case and point: Tell me about a design pattern you used on

I would much rather hear about their past projects and have them clearly convey design decisions that they made before then have them work on a "on the fly" question. Everybody has off days, not many people have whole off years or

Yes, lack of auto-build, plus no problems view! However, i've found that i do not notice that so much and get much more benefit from gradle then ant. Also, the project structure has ended up being alot cleaner and easier to navigate fo
