I’m overpaid nationally but when you take into account I spend 50% of my time refactoring shit code and cost of living is high, I’m underpaid. Also I work on a team where I’m 1/10 devs but am only one that understands 40% of the tech stack our team covers (I’m training a Padawan though)

Your not storing the pngs are you? I’d use a vector format for something like this, then it easy to scale to different zooms without rerendering etc. rendering is actually faster from frameworks I’ve looked at under the hood. But I don’t know what your limitations are

Fuck I have to get one of these

I am an imposter but fake it til you make it bby

DDOS the pentagon?

Love what amazon does as a company to provide opportunities for smaller entrepreneurs. My only concern is the amount of jobs it automates away from the job market but it’s inevitable in a capatilist society and I don’t want to fuck with socialism so 🤷‍♂️

Maybe my drunk ass assumed gnome was a 3rd party mobile framework but now I remember my ancient ass Linux prof mention it the semester before the 3rd time I dropped out of school

@spyridonas NOPE!! Sorry I’m mobile app developer and saw words “app” and “2gb dependencies” and was like The fuck?!?!?! Don’t drink and devRant folks sorry was fucked up last night

@grumpyoldaf why you lose it? Finally join a team with competent product managers?

I definitely red that as kill child WITH fork and I LoL so hard until I saw stack overflow and re read it. Still funny tho

Been working at current company 9 months. There is a nuget package that is source of all of our problems. But it’s too deep in the code base to remove (says business/architect). I suggested creating our own version (we could use same method signatures for the 4 or 5 methods that are used in over 2000 lines of code) so we don’t have to refactor it all but then we have control over garbage collection, don’t have to do a bunch of custom linking (package uses a lot of reflection) to get app size to something reasonable. Anyway, guarantee we’ve spent 3x as much time in 6 months solving the symptoms of bugs brought in by this package than root causes. Basically everytime a new critical bug comes up in a meeting and I’m only one to solve it I look at architect scrum master and product manager with a super bitch faced “I told you so look”. Happens at least 3-4 times a month. We still just slapping on bandaids :/. But it’s not my job to make those decisions

Been fully appreciated/compensated by an employer for my skills

Is this a mobile app?!?!?! Or web? Also, you bring in full dependencies or there is no linking involved( if so imma assume web app)

I have almost same story as you and I was homeless while working for free. After well paid internship I went to close to 6 figures. (Lucrative/retarded technology/high demand) tech tho. Best of luck to you and bust ass once you realize you provide way more value than your paid (I’ll give it 3 months once you see after learning the stack the value the full time employees provide is shit) either move on or demand full time employment.

Or when you revert some auto generated files to find out you accidentally deleted one you worked on for 2 hours :/

This is my scrum master.

“Why did you change a light bulb? Did you finish your sprint tasks yet? Stop hurting the sprint velocity for the stuff that IT can do.”

“But my laptop won’t turn on? I can’t do my job and didn’t want to wait to take 3 days to do something I could do in an hour?”

“You really need to reconsider your commitment to the team”

@p0s1x oh yeah forgot about those ray wenderlich tutorials that shit is a godsend

I think your frustration lies in that they suggested an update for a emulator that wasn’t compatible for your current gradle to build on. In iOS you can’t get the simulator updates UNTIL you update the Xcode SDK/build tools (Xcode update installs the new simulator runtimes after it itself is updated.) they should considerably that pattern or at least for current gradle plugin compatible

@FuckJava um because if your outdated build tool targets a version of droid that expects methods that don’t exist in build tools compiler it can’t compile to binaries? If you want a better idea then try using android studio from five years ago to build a project that uses android wear, before it existed. How you expect it to build? You can expect a lot of build tools to be backwards compatible, but I’ve never heard of one that is forwards compatible.

@FuckJava new assemblies the gradle doesn’t have compilers for?

OP you tried maybe posting on a subreddit that would be interested in your idea?

Could on physical device? Also not to be “that guy” but it’s an emulator and only reason I’m being picky is I’m used to iOS simulator and there is a huge difference. But physical devices is the way to go if it’s an option

@iAmNaN I disagree with your last part. I think the biggest difference is off stimulants with add we usually only take in what we want to learn, while on meds we can focus on the stuff we need to learn. But I can’t speak for its effect on children since I was diagnosed at a late age but I can say it turns you more from a hyperactive personality to a listening one.

This hits home with me. I got diagnosed late (24) and I went from homeless to close to 6 figures and killing it at a huge company. Sucks to feel like you rely on a medication to survive, and I could go on forever about the impact of mental health on the homeless. But my adhd meds and therapist/psychiatrist saved my life.

Man that’s not a bad idea! Get a designer (or have your gf help) you, invest in some targeted ads and that shit could pop off!

Whatever requirements that made this code necessary might be the most retarded thing I’ve seen. Beautiful solution. Not huge on java but would getter that sets value to null before get returns work? Then you might be able to avoid Singleton. I hate singletons :/

@WorstVarNames making the app better is outside of sprint scope so therefore my changes where scrapped and it was viewed as I did nothing for 2 weeks by management.

No wonder big companies pay well cause their shit practices would make any decent developer leave

This is perhaps most important programming guide that sets iOS dev apart from other front end development and what makes the difference between a programmer and an iOS developer.

Depends what you looking for. If you trying to use native code to just layout some views/do a few animations/use a specific framework. Find the apple programming guide for the framework. For a full overview of everything iOS I recommend big nerd ranch books. I skipped college and self learned with those and now I’m pro iOS dev w/ 4 years xp.
