Seems like your mgmt is concerned about billing more workhours by fixing symptoms instead of the disease. Classic

@kiki Caught doing what? Am I missing some story here? Feel free to elaborate
-
Probably it was the tone or something

@WildOrangutan This is an old interview task from 1 year ago where I cancelled the interview since I accepted other offer.
Thanks for comments,you adressed exact spots where I was doubting and now it's clear how to proceed.
However I have doubts regarding UX/UI since I picked up Compose just 3 days ago. I would like to add shimmering animation for grid items + a better placeholder image asset because current one seems weird. Also my loading animation seems to be weird. Even search seems weird, it starts searching as soon after each symbol input, it should search only when user confirms the search by pressing on a search icon within the box... Anyways I decided to focus on architecture, since this task did not even have a sketch for UI or specs for UX..
Anyways, curious to see whats your first impression? I'm android dev of 2-3 years (with breaks in between) and I would consider myself mid level. Is the quality good enough or no? Should I add unit tests? Feel free to comment in git. -

Unsubscribing from watching the unnecessary issues helped me with reducing spam emails greatly

Reminds me of our current sprint where we we are taking 2 weeks to do something that should have been no longer than 2 days. Just because of red tape and broken communication and incompetence between UX/UI and BA. Welcome to enterprise
-
@iSwimInTheC post it bro pls
-
@iSwimInTheC that would be amazing
-
@iSwimInTheC was not even able to setup aliases for git as easy as I used to do it in linux with adding them to .profile
-
I cant get used to shortcuts and file manager UI seems so alien to me
-
Same with PHP. Everyone is bitching while laravel/ruby on rails gets the job done.
-
@tokenguy do they have remote jobs? Or are these strictly only relocate jobs?
-
I remember getting an interview from angel.co but it led nowhere. Wondering if others had more success
-
@PeterDCarter Just follow what he says and cover your ass - in the future if someone is unhappy about some naming or solution, they can track it down to comments in your PR.
-
@aviophile anyways I was just ranting
-
I would argue that patterns should be followed for consistency to make collbaration easier. Ofcourse if you are using a hammer to kill a fly just because you can then its a problem.
-
Sounds like he isnt competent enough to understand how code works so hes trying to make his name by nitpicking on something that can be changed in seconds. Next time I would ask him wether he has anything else to say, and if no, lets focus on the solution.
-
Interesting that it was able to display some initial screen at all. I would assume it would just show black screen
-
There is nothing to be afraid of. Next time add this website to a GIT repo so you would have a backup and dont be afraid of editing.
-
@ojt-rant enjoy the benefits of git!
-
Whats zuru in nutshell?
-
Wow. Just wow. I hope you learned a lesson here
-
@iSwimInTheC im taking and using this tomorrow

People would have one less person to laugh from

@ostream You are talking about bigger business clients. In that case you need to present yourself as an agency, build a brand, make a nice website with portfolio of your works start advertising and you might land a bigger client. Also I should mention that primary reason why agencies are chosen is because they have more resources and can scale, just like a cloud based server hosting. So you need to network and know atleast a couple poeple who you could throw into a project, if a need arises. Bigger clients love that.
-
@ostream Doubt you could do exactly what client wants without additional meetings. But I get your point
-
Yep thats a massive scam. These clients dont provide health insurance or paid vacations. Yet they expect u to work 9 to 5 and participate in all the corporate bullshit. As if you wouldnt be the first one to let go in case they need to cut down on spending. Same goes if shit hits the fan, usually blame is shifted to contractos and they get fired.
Workflow and availability should be negotiated during interviews and this stuff should be outlined clearly in the contract that you are signing. If they really expect a 9-5 from you, I would increase my hourly rate from the get go. -
@AvatarOfKaine answer the question sweety
-
You red it aloud and he gave u thumbs up in reality? I dont understand this
