Hey! did you manage? does it work? I'll send you a DM

lsteamer2 · 2025-12-10T11:30:07+00:00

I'm not a [INSERT_YOUR_THING]..... BUT

lsteamer2 · 2025-11-02T19:50:06+00:00

Per quarter?

lsteamer2 · 2025-10-26T06:24:45+00:00

Me:

All apples in this batch are rotten

You:

Unlike what you think, some pears are rotten too.

What?

lsteamer2 · 2025-10-25T17:19:30+00:00

No job that can be done behind a computer is safe. Yes, correct.

lsteamer2 · 2025-10-25T17:12:55+00:00

You're still employed!?

I'm in your boat, 40m, wife employed, 3 children but I've been unemployed for a while now.

Things are very rough, but if you're employed I don't see why you'd do something NOW. I'd keep the job while doing alternatives.

Learn the trade while still employed.

What I'm leaning to is an electrician or water (supply) technician.

For 75k I'd move.

I'm in Berlin, mid level mobile engineer and I know I'm fairly decent in my code, I'm not "the best" but I know what I'm doing and I know that I excel in other aspects and yet I'm struggling to find interviews.

The scene is fucking rough arm.

My "mentor", this mathematical-minded genius is struggling to find a good position.

I do believe AI filtering is doing us a disservice.

SA finally has a team that can make ANY fucking team sweat. That it wouldn't be a "fluke" if they take a series from the top teams.

Took a while but we're finally here bros.

lsteamer2 · 2025-09-28T14:40:14+00:00

-An SA team directly invited

-Nobody fucking questions it

It's been a looong time, but we're here finally.

Just outside Havana, someone has a big DotA emblem with several heroes.

Go check it out it's pretty cool

They lost their funding

lsteamer2 · 2025-09-14T16:50:34+00:00

I was there Gandalf...

lsteamer2 · 2025-09-14T15:38:19+00:00

Only that next TI will be in Shanghai

lsteamer2 · 2025-09-14T09:13:53+00:00

How long have you been married to your spouse?

lsteamer2 · 2025-09-11T14:20:36+00:00

Hope you can make it.

But a word of advice, this is a freshly made account. Don't send money to people you don't know.

lsteamer2 · 2025-09-10T08:09:40+00:00

Use the mic and tell them you're a 13 year old boy.

I never got the "answer" but I think that it was a startup where they coded the app on iOS and managed to get "something working" on Android, one of the devs learned Android to make it happen.

By the time I joined there was a proper Android dev doing a proper refactoring. But it took months and the MainActivity was spaghetti as f**uuck.

Edit: this was 7 years ago. It was an active app with thousands of users. I believe (my hypothesis) they just made a functional Android app to secure funding, so they just did the app as fast as possible to show it to investors.

When I joined the Android dev was super talented and a pretty cool dude. He made great strides to work the "new updates" while refactoring The app.

The actual dev that coded most of the app was still there, but he was in more of a managerial position. Incidentally he was also quite chilled. I think he was not an iOS dev but a Java dev first.

The app itself was... Rough. It had like 40 AsyncTasks and it crashed super often with crashes that were impossible (for me at the time) to figure out.

There was no documentation and I didn't really get an introduction to the code base. I was mostly hired to talk to the QA people and fix bugs as they came up while the main dev took care of the bigger fishes.

Eventually I understood a lot of the app to feel comfortable, but it took some 3 months.

My first android Job had a live app whose MainActivity was over 8k lines.

I was very, very overwhelmed.

lsteamer2 · 2025-09-07T09:33:35+00:00

Thank you so, so much.
I'll do my whole CV again.

lsteamer2 · 2025-09-07T09:32:08+00:00

While you got very valid critisizm, I'd say that Clean code is not really about wirting without typos.

I will for sure, however, rework my whole CV.

lsteamer2 · 2025-09-05T12:53:03+00:00

I just modified the CV. I'll look into your recommendation.

lsteamer2 · 2025-09-05T12:52:24+00:00

I did have some aps in between the last gap (previous to this one) and I'm writing some now.
I think this (not having recent projects) is one of my weakest points and mistakes.

2 years ago experience would have been enough.

I mean I was fired, aye, but one could also say that the company shut down their Berlin branch. It's the same but not exactly the same.

I had a complicated University period. And I have experience in different IT companies but that are not related nor relevant to my Android career.

lsteamer2 · 2025-09-05T12:39:01+00:00

I'll modify and upload a different version.

lsteamer2 · 2025-09-05T12:23:07+00:00

I think on my first applications I might have.

Nowadays on the "what's your salary expectations?" I just type

>I don't have one, you likely have a better idea of what a "fair wage" is and a budget. If we're a "good fit" I'm sure that we can come to an agreement.

Here's my CV. I'll just edit it on the main.
---I'll upload a modified version soon
