Goodies – 1

So… I got the job but I refused to go

Fuck! 6 months ago, a friend left for UK, he offered me his spot at a company. A mid-senior position and me only as a junior-mid developer. I went to the interview with other people and I got the job. Furthermore, I got the job together with another ex-colleague of mine that was mid-senior as […]




RxJava

One of the best articles for beginners (like me) to understand RxJava is this one: https://upday.github.io/blog/reactive_mindset_burgers/ At the moment, i’m having a problem with an app that works with Realm on too many threads. After some really really good, painfull and slow code refactoring we got to a version in which the app works, but […]




I know where my place is

I like to think about myself that I’m an above average programmer. Actually, I like to think of myself I’m even more than that. Still, I’m cocky, but I’m not stupid. Have a project that I’ve been working on with five other developers (2 droids and 3 ios) and it’s turning into a monster huge […]




Flavours

And those links should be handled by an in app browser. As well, we have that pound sign (#) that has […]

Butterknife.. why go the trouble?

Butterknife is one of the plugins I put first time when working on a new project. Yesterday, found a plugin, that removes butterknife: https://github.com/u3shadow/RemoveButterKnife It sounds interesting, it does it’s job, but I fail to understand why would you ever need it? Dexcount? Butterknife uses around 350 methods so if this is the answer. Forget it. […]




I have this issue

It’s a trust issue. I trust people, a lot! I trusted a business partner and he screwed me bad. Now i trusted a guy I thought was my friend and went into business with him only get screwed over. The fact that I got screwed by the first guy is ok, I learned a lot […]
