Can someone further explain how the pre commit phase works? I don't get how/why "pre commits" work without feature branches? How are my changes shared with the reviewer, if I there…

We are using Kotlin in production for two projects. One is a spring boot backend for an online banking app for a large european bank. The other is an Android app for an NGO that gi…

Well, I did not intent to vote that post, but now I upvoted it just to undo your mistake.

Wow, that ecosystem grows fast. There is often a quite negative response to Github's decision to base Atom on a HTML/Javascript/CSS stack, due to the performance hit. But it seems …

That many phone manufactures don't update their software is not an Android problem. Would Lenovo update their devices more often when their operating system was not based on Androi…

At your first attempt to rate an app on Google Play, you got a dialog warning you that this will be connected to and visible on your account. I find this information extremely usef…

I don't understand why Google can not roll this out internationally from the start. Why only US and UK? The content is not subject to old copyright contracts, which is typically th…

tl;dr?

I've been there for the last 2 years, but this year I decided to ask my company for a flight to pycon instead. For an Android developer, there are a lot of great talks at I/O, and …

Everything text is great if you listen to Stephen Frey reading it to you. But I personally think the "Goblin of Fire" (the 4th?) is the worst.

Actually, no. Being able to purchase a book over a web browser and installing a native application store on your device are very different things. I think you can argue that a brow…

In a time where every manufacturer produces reasonable high end, top quality hardware and software, the difference between winners and losers comes down to the simple question who …

most of the time google collects data it is because users want this data to be collected. If Google would not store emails on their servers, people would leave Gmail and go to a se…
