Today I saw this in our code base:
private static final int THREE = 3;

To do this:
rating += THREE;

I laughed, and cried a little.

Hello everyone!

Since this is such a cool community with so many app devs, I though it would be cool to share with you all a project the company I work with its currently developing.

The name is appcoins, and it's a blockchain project that aims to solve 3 big problems that devs, users, Appstores and oems face everyday in the current apps ecosystem:
- the advertising: create a trustworthy advertise system for your apps, where you can actually invest money that will be spent on users that will use your apps; currently is a system where everyone is trying to fool everyone.
- Malware and Adware detection: create a system powered by the community to rank dev's apps, using a reputation system, and dispute by bidding. currently it's an unscalable system, with many detection flaws.
- In app billing (aka IAB): offer a new and easy way for users to buy cool things in your app, even if they don't have access to a credit card or other payment methods. Users will be rewarded by trying out your cool apps. Also opens the door for payments with crypto currencies in AppStores.

This is just a quick overall idea of the all project. If you're interested, checkout the website https://appcoins.io/

If you've any question or suggestion, let me know and I'll try to answer as best as I can, or redirect to my devRant coworkers.
Any feedback you may have, feel free to share it! This system is designed for us all devs, so your input is really appreciated.

Thank you all, and sorry for the long post.

When I have to type on this keyboard, my heart breaks

Realize how complex it is to build and the time it would take, then when I check how many similar things to it already are on the market, I feel like there's no reason to do it.

So happy to be part of this community 😊 thank you!

Have you ever been asked to develop something unethical by your boss? Did you do it anyway? Tell us your story.

DevRant community, who is going to WebSubmit 2017? All devs are welcome here in Lisbon!

I've a rp0w only running pi-hole on it. What else would you recommend me to put on it? Give me some cool ideas!
ps: I already have a rp2 with a mediacenter and retropie.

Where I work, we've just started using flavorDimensions. This is gonna save us a lot of time on keeping projects with many common code in one repo. Hope it's worth the trouble of merging everything together 😃

You know you're a pro when you do everything with keyboard shortcuts and you don't need a mouse for anything.

The other day we were discussing a study that says Python is the best language to start learning code. What's your opinion on the subject?

Its not a bug, it's a feature.

What's the weirdest/longest variable name you ever declared?

Don't you love when your team fights about who will merge their branch to dev first?
