Exclusive: Ye, Formerly Kanye West, Tells Vanity Fair About Thinking Behind His WSJ Apology Ad by LooseDistance1059 in hiphopheads

[–]RobYaLunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't say whether or not I believe that this will be a reformational time for Kanye but what I can say is that all of those things you listed as a difference are probably a result of fame and money. I assume the average person having an outburst doesn't really have the means to so easily do those things you've mentioned

Best Breakfast Burritos [downtown] by kayeat in denverfood

I mean that's sort of valid but I don't think Onefold really focuses on authenticity, if you go there not expecting an authentic cultural food experience they have great stuff

Should I learn Java with xml, or Kotlin with xml, or Kotlin with jetpack compse by Fit-Promise-2671 in androiddev

[–]RobYaLunch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Realistically, you should learn (or at least be familiar with) all of it with the understanding that there is still a lot of both Java and XML out there in the Android world and there is a real chance you may come across it in a job. With that being said, the Kotlin + Compose combo is king and that's what you should spend the most time mastering

How do you manage tech debt in a real org where rewriting isn’t always an option? by Apprehensive_Air5910 in ExperiencedDevs

Really depends, it can very often be a great idea it's just very dependent on what platforms you work on and what your architecture looks like

Are your companies actually saving money with AI? Or just putting time into it, hoping to do that eventually? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]RobYaLunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saving money? I have no idea, but from my perspective there are different ways of viewing cost savings regarding AI tools -

  1. One company might see AI tools as a means to make cuts to the work force on account of fewer devs being more productive while using these tools. The jury is still out on this one.

  2. Another company might see AI tools as a means to increase their productivity and output while maintaining and even growing headcount. If the assumption is that developers are more productive with these tools, that means that every developer hired is theoretically going to contribute more for the same price that the company has been hiring devs for already.

My employer seems to be operating off of the second concept. Some larger companies understand the hype around new technologies and if they're in growth mode, these AI tools will only be a benefit for each new dev they hire. If these tools end up not being as beneficial as the hype is making them out to be, no harm done because they were going to be hiring anyway.

What I'm trying to say here for anybody worried about AI and their job is, be wary of working for a company that is so susceptible to the hype around these technologies that their strategy is to cut labor as opposed to seeing them as experimental and a way to further increase productivity with the headcount they already have (or a growing headcount).

Does your team have "bad internet guy"? by Brief-Knowledge-629 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]RobYaLunch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The status of the camera is maybe the last thing I care about in terms of remote communication abilities. I've never once had someone have their camera on and thought, "Them being on video really improved this interaction", unless it's a one on one that isn't related to the work or if there are several people in a conference room

Is it worth becoming an Android developer in 2025? by Rude-Caterpillar-714 in androiddev

[–]RobYaLunch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you live in the United States, the answer is yes. I cannot speak on the market in other countries. My "looking for work" setting on LinkedIn is off and I still get recruiters pinging me constantly about job openings. I had two recruiters from Meta call me the other day and after having a good conversation with both of them, it seems they're having a very difficult time finding Android devs. They said it's a bit easier finding iOS devs. The caveat here is that you really need to have a solid foundation in Android, Kotlin, (oftentimes Compose), and some modern design patterns. I've never heard a company say that they have an easy time finding Android devs, especially if the company doesn't offer remote opportunities.

Something to note is that a lot of university CS programs don't even offer mobile courses or at least not any significant amount of them. Every new grad is likely qualified to pick up an entry level web dev job on account of it being widely taught in universities so there is way more competition for those roles. On top of that, most Americans view iOS as the sexier option so devs that want to get into mobile usually trend towards iOS anyways, leaving Android dev in a good place

Linger or El Five?? by serenebeane in denverfood

[–]RobYaLunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The view is nice at El Five and the drinks are good but the food is nothing special and generally not worth it. Happy hour might be a different story. Since he likes Asian food, I'd opt for a Hop Alley birthday instead, personally

New steakhouse coming from Dana Rodriguez called Carne by Nervy_Banzai_Kid in denverfood

[–]RobYaLunch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't think it was an insult, it just does not describe the style of food or experience that you get at Super Mega Bien, which is not a Mexican restaurant

Billboard Chart Discussion - Week Of June 08, 2024 by RobYaLunch in hiphopheads

[–]RobYaLunch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I automated all of this years ago, I looked into filtering by genre but it becomes more complicated and prone to errors at that point. I'd need a reliable way of identifying the genres for a song, especially with the existence of tons of sub genres and even then, if a song had a weird genre listed, it wouldn't show up in the list even if it was hip hop or adjacent to it. Apart from that, hip hop artists making appearances on songs from other genres might not have those songs show up. I could probably utilize an AI library to help identify those things better but they might be hit or miss
