    The decisions you make carry tremendous weight. Deciding to hire one alien species over another will impact your interactions with future space travelers, since alien crew members give you different options in dealing with threats. You are rewarded appropriately and it’s so gratifying. SECRET ALIEN RACE OMG

  • Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Android Development

    Views over Fragments - Fragments are good in theory, but not in practice. As explained here Fragment transition state errors are notoriously difficult to debug. Views are simpler with fewer lifecycle methods; anything you want to use a Fragment for can be done with Views instead, because Views have been around since the beginning (Fragments were added later). A few components are easier with Fragments, like DialogFragments and ViewPager, only because the default implementations take care of UI interactions smoothly.
