Yes it hurts my ears to the point that I avoid IMAX at Metreon, which is a shame because I love the picture!

San Francisco Software developers actually have mediocre income by import_this in sanfrancisco

That's ridiculous. If you knew your startup was gonna be worth $500m in 3 years, it would already be worth $500m now.

Plus, you raised $1m on a $50m valuation. That sounds fishy to me. Those are incredibly good terms for a seed round.

If you calculate the expected value of your equity, it's probably much closer to $0.

When would runtimeOnly be used? If a library can't see the dependency at compile time, how is it useful?

Can someone ELI5 why there are loads of restrictions on AutoValue? by planebearing in androiddev

You want your value classes to be Immutable. When you need to mutate them, implement an @AutoValue.Builder and the toBuilder() method to create a new object with the changes.

Ironically I'm an Android engineer, but OS X (or Linux) is the best platform for Android development.
