You should stop calling yourself an engineer unless you drive a train

It's honestly the best of both worlds. A well built and tested hardware platform with well known specs and manufacturer support, that's capable of running any third party software at the drop of a hat

Kagi summary:

  • The Android Market (now Google Play Store) was launched in October 2008 with the T-Mobile G1 phone, helping establish app ecosystems on mobile.
  • Before app stores, finding and downloading apps was difficult through various online stores and carrier stores with limited selection and updates.
  • The Android Market centralized the app experience and discovery, giving access to a growing variety and number of apps in one place.
  • Early app successes helped drive more users, phones, developers and apps in a reinforcing cycle that grew the app economy exponentially.
  • Popular early apps filled gaps in Android's capabilities in areas like weather, file management, flashlights as built-in features were still being developed.
  • Later apps brought extra abilities beyond necessities, like music streaming, ebooks, games, social media and more.
  • The article reminisces on the novelty of app stores and ecosystems in their early days compared to their ubiquitous presence today.
  • Over 100,000 apps were available by mid-2010 and over 3.5 million apps today on Google Play.
  • We now take app discovery, updates, and the overall app experience for granted due to how well app stores do their job.
  • The article credits the Android Market and Apple App Store for establishing apps as the norm and changing our expectations of mobile.

You should refocus your efforts to OpenStreetMap and it's associated entities. Don't give Google free data they will later take away or charge you for

When I was going through a job hunt last year, I encountered a few of these. I either reported them on the job listing sites, typically as misleading, or told my recruiter.

I doubt anything came of it, but its what we still need to do when they pull this shit.

N64's issues came from the bushings wearing out, the sensors were still very good

Either way it's a no effort account and you can basically ignore them, as their contributions will most likely be garbage either way

For most projects or tools that I find on GitHub these days, I run them all in docker. Node, at least, is somewhat of a good guest. All it's crap lives in node_modules, and so when I'm done, rm the directory and it's all clean. Python seems to love leaving relics across my system
