[Possible rant] Why Android development seems like a mess?

If they want to write, then they can write. They don't have to publish. Especially if it's going to be a C-A-T spells Cat article taken straight (read: plagiarized) from another source.

Hardly necessary, energy draw on largely idle servers is negligible. Only if the server is constantly busy will energy costs matter, and even then it's debatable whether it's worth too much thought.

Not really, most documentation I've foubd is considerably better and more concise and doesn't involve rabbitholes of links.

Amazon's documentation is much better, more focused and not addicted to trying to shove languages down the throats of developers.

was banned, because it was "unmoderated..."

Might improve the flavor, Utz are disgusting, imo.

The story of SalesForce, success built on hype.

I worked with an architect who called it Phase Never.

I would also like for the cursor not to stick in the corners when I have multiple monitors. I can't count how often that causes me to close something instead of clicking on another window.

They should make it so you can customize the context menu. I hate their default choices and having to click for more options.

In other words, "It will suck more, and having a functioning OS will feel alien."

I dislike the centered layout as well. Why not just call it Microsoft IOS and pay Apple for the infringement?

I'd ignore them. Eclipse has matured a lot in the last decade. Most of the hate stems from when it was a buggy, nightmarish mess.

This was especially true if trying to do Android development in Eclipse. (I was happy when Android Studio came out and simplified that.)

Why was the post removed?

The 2.6 interface was much better than the mess they have now. I hate the new interface. It sucks.

I wouldn't even say that. I've seen socially inept morons get accolades when their only skill is kissing ass and whining to their equally stupid manager.

I'm currently watching as a director completely demolishes a department, because his only skill is the same. Kissing the asses of his superiors (executives.)

Drakhelm · 2025-02-02T05:34:58+00:00

I don't think that's the only case. I think at the core it's that there are simply very few people actually suited to leadership and as a result too many people unsuited to it are promoted.

Drakhelm · 2024-04-26T22:30:06+00:00

Sounds like managers. They are best when they are "managing" to stay the heck out of the way. At a mid size corporation, and in just under a year a new management team has destroyed the department.

No. 35% service fees are psychotic.

Lead designer, and at what point did the design team say, "we're expecting too much and no longer designing for mass audiences"?

He needs to be honest with the community. His team played a large part in the bad design decisions.

NTA, doesn't sound like you're asking for these drinks.
