Friend: Hey, so what do you do?

Me: I build backend systems and apis. I work with java/mongodb. I dable into some elixir and kotlin on my free time.

Friend: Cool, can you build me an Android app?

"Well that depends. What kind of a budget are we looking at?"

You should tell him, if you would like to do it.

@rjedlin doing business with friends is not a good idea. It's hard to keep it professional with them, and you'll probably just loose money.

If you do it, do it because you want to, not because of the money. If your into money, make business with companies, not friends.

@plusgut That's a really good point

@plusgut agreed. Plus, I have no knowledge about Android programming. 🤣

@puppypower You said you do java, I guess learning the libs wouldn't be hard.

@plusgut well, agreed there too.

@puppypower would you want to build this app?

@plusgut I don't think so. I have seen enough rants like such to know better. 😉

@puppypower then you should tell your friend, that you are not interested ;)

Really ? Can u fix my laptop?
