Between learning Android and actually getting it built, I created a social fitness app that never really took off after an initial influx of users: https://play.google.com/store/ap…

Last time I used call, apply and bind was when a co-worker decided to roll his own JS framework. It was as bad as it sounds.

Great game, I never finished it, but I've always hoped to find something nearly as far-fetched ever since I played it.

Sure, here are a few off the top of my head: - My Git commits/changesets were huge. There were so many code changes to so many files that it was very difficult to review. I learned…

Taking a job as a solo "lead" developer at a startup for my first job out of school. I picked up so many bad habits and it took a while to figure out how to collaborate with others…

Persona 5 and derivatives has some of the slickest UX I have seen in any interactive media.

Best: It's okay to say you don't know something Worst: Don't tell employees you pay them so they shouldn't have to use Google.

Death Stranding (themes of loneliness/isolation/virtual connection), Persona 5 (themes of evil/corruption/abuse), The Last of Us 2 and Coffee Talk.

Thanks for your answer, and no, I certainly couldn't afford to fight :)

I have a question that's related to something like this, I haven't been able to find a definitive answer through Google. So let's say I want to create an app called "X this, not th…

I think its just marketing hype. Although some approaches do lend themselves to better performance of course. I once read a quote related to React. Paraphrasing: Speed is an implem…

I understand this.

Advice, especially the unsolicited kind

Agree with the premise of the article. Haters and fanboys alike all end up wearing themselves out anyway.

I built gymmr, an app that let's people meet at the gym based on their diets and fitness routines: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrelashl... My plan in 2020 i…
