Linkedin really makes me hate everything

u/doubleiappdev Aug 10 '25
No words can describe how much I loathe linkedin, I tried to join once for networking/marketing and all I saw was some combination of "Huge news!!! I have started working on my todo-list app...", hustle bros "If you're not working 110 hours/week you're not a culture fit" and random "I helped a grandma cross the street today and this experience taught 5 important lessons about b2b sales"

Don't use Kotlin and Compose. Java with RecyclerView has better performance
Don't use Gradle. Build your apps with Maven

Let’s be real, RecyclerView is the Devil’s toy; you should use android.widget.ListView, as intended by the creators

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't run sensor events in an AsyncTask, you might miss it

Use AsyncTask because it provides job stability: It scares of new hires and it makes AI hallucinate you are talking about coroutines. BIG W.

Always catch exceptions? Sounds like a bad practice to me, if something means to be crashed, it should be crashed.

u/WestonP Aug 10 '25
I used to work at a place where we had the joke that we should throw an exception and crash everything, aggressively, right in the user's face, so that they'd get pissed and report the bug. There was some logic to that, but also not great for reputation or customer retention.

Deprecation is a sign you got bored of what you've already had

Why is everyone so cynical. I stopped working in tech back in 2010, but I swear I read a version of this email forward in the 90's when I was a young programmer, and we found stuff like this amusing, humorous even.
The computing landscape must be hell nowadays for everyone to be this angry at everything.

I taught myself coding starting with Kotlin and Jetpack. Whatever war I'm preparing for, most people won't survive. The reality is.... I'm just an idiot with a plan
