If people do this, are you still going to say your way is better? I'm not sure why folks would offer their view on something knowing ahead of time that it is just going to be dismissed.

My only question is: Why? If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

It they bypass Dalvik/ART altogether, bring it on. As it stands now, Java is a death by a thousand cuts.

Thanks mate , it's a wonderful idea, you should write. I have had at least a couple dozens of article-worthy subjects while dealing with different projects. But I always doubted my language skills, even after posting this here, I was thinking it's poorly written as it got 0 votes. I think someone took strain to understand what I've written and voted up. lol :). Cheers!

I would say, the more senior and older you become the harder it is to find a new job. Location can be key too, in the UK. Technical tests are a subjective nightmare. I'm fairly sure, after god knows how many interviews, a decision has been made on you, in the foyer, before you've even answered the first question. You've just got to keep plugging away at it and don't ever let the interview process undermine your confidence as developer. On that note, confidence in your own skills, knowledge and experience is a crucial factor in being a successful developer. Also note that every job will fundamentally change in some way within the first six months. For example, in my current role, my original line manager retired within two months.

lol :D , Running W8.1 on them feels great! Starting to think people post kid pics in their profiles because that was the last time they were cute - Jeremy.

I kid you not! :-D Search Apple's tutorials and framework documentation. There's a tab at the top of every code example that gives you the option to view it as Objective-C or Swift. I was amazed! Okay, maybe not all the old documentation, but most of what's new or updated.

It's only been out for one year and they've already started depreciating stuff. Christsake, can they not make up their minds?

Demand is often high due to low cost of candidates. Go where the money is, not the demand for code monkeys.

But that's my point - going to see a movie because of who's in it - even though it's a remake of a stinker with no plot. Or the other worthless endeavor: sports stats - effort spent on memorizing pointless nothing by people who won't put the effort into knowing what's happening in the world around them . . . but, in the bathroom, they can discuss 'their' team and argue how many pro's can dance on the head of which pins. But - and this is the big but (butt): they are 'in' with the crowd because they know the proper passwords. Think of the stupidity of how they note how much money a film's making on some weekend. Then, of course, they point out that it's being overtaken by another films box-office. Never mind having enough brains to consider that it's been out, everyone's seen it, so it's going to lose box-office. That being said - you're quite right. It just outrages me that those who produce nothing (remember, the writer wrote the story!) get paid so much and produce nothing. The lemmings will spill into the sea. Their hopes buoyed by their lightened wallets.
