Time is only gonna pass you by

Doctor w-rw-rw- posted:

Forget about supporting tablets in v1 as well.

While Android can be painful to work with at times I have to disagree with this completely. If at all possible design for tablets first, use Fragments, and for the most part Android will handle the heavy lifting for you. Just use custom resource folders for particular width devices and it's actually quite a lot easier than supporting say, the 3.5"/4" iPhone (that is to say, extremely easy ). Basically if you follow Android design principles, you're going to have a good time.

The rest of the Android complaints I tend to agree with (though animation is fine if you are minSdkVersion=14) - but that's maybe because I've been forced to do mainly iOS only at my day job for ~2 years now :( but I do keep up with my Android team and things have improved drastically as far as community support/developer excitement.

I just heard from a trusted source that my team is likely to be reduced dramatically Friday unless a miracle occurs. I feel like assigning my entire team leetcode problems to prepare them for the worst case, but no idea how to handle taking care of these folks in a professional way.

Operations will likely continue with a skeleton crew for the foreseeable future (due to contractual obligations ~2 years) and I will (probably) still be on the team after Friday.

Anyone navigate something similar?

Also likely the severance package will be a joke, I am extremely frustrated.
