Feels like the Dzhanibekov effect. May also explain magnetic reversals:

Meantime, nobody is complaining about the smaller Pixel 2, made by HTC with AMOLED screen by Samsung.

Small screen OLED is only hard for LG.

As a C/C++ veteran of > 20 years, one angle is Android.

That Java mantra got carried into Google at the time and it's locked in now.

Benefits, portably recompiling (not Java) byte code on demand for 32-bit or 64-bit architectures with improved simd optimizations.

Backwards compatibility is kept at the in the runtime-compiler, API level instead of depending on the CPU for legacy compatibility (see Intel).

This predates .NET and only slightly suffers from progressing through the language tweaks from Java 6 through Java 8. It's much more mature than .NET so the changes aren't as drastic.

Library of third-party libraries is vast.

Is this why all the cool Millennials are now pushing NPM, Node.js? :-P *facepalm*

Well, very little of the Chinese workers could afford to buy those iPhones they're making.

Foxconn is now just making it an absolute rule.

Cut the CEO's pay. That sure hasn't grown in a direct relationship to inflation while the worker's pay stayed flat.

If you've seen In-n-out, always crowded, very cheap food, a lot of workers.

You're talking about connecting the dots and plumbing. That's IT.

Good coding is also a hard science. You only know where your goal is (and maybe not). Finding the dots to connect is then 90% sweating it out empirically.

The real world is full of different hardware, interfaces, paradigms. At certain points you can't gloss over it with generalized code, but have to engineer something more focused.

Sometimes, it's also time-intensive testing and hacking to glean out undocumented bits.

Of course this is all against a set schedule. You can't get there punching in and out 4 - 5 hours a day.

Just more BS cop-out from those who can't. It's too bad Google is now full of this NIH thinking.

They obviously forgot to study the entire class such as pull-to-refresh.

And then they rediscover pull-to-refresh is still there.

Or don't let you back out of a form without confirmation, as many sites already do.

How about ALSO disabling pull-to-refresh when you're on a form, which is the SAME problem.

Maybe they'll get to this in 20 years.

Vivaldi browser. Brings back the old school Opera with preferences for everything.

So do petro, ethanol, hydrogen, etc vehicles.
