I’ve been asked at times why I approve unplanned personal leaves in my team even if it affects our project timelines. It’s quite simple — People are more important than timelines. Timelines aren’t real. People are. Even our best laid plans are at the mercy of life’s chaos. If my…

If you’ve ever hung out with a bunch of designers at a party, you’d have probably heard them say something like “Man, things would be so much easier if engineers knew how to design” (Engineers probably harbour similar sentiments about designers, but it’s harder to observe this since they do…

In the last post, we learned about higher order functions and closures. In this one, we’ll talk about functional error handling. If you haven’t read part 3, please read it here. Functional error handling If you’ve been following this series so far, you might have noticed a recurring theme in FP: Everything is…

Cool, huh?

Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time learning Elixir, an awesome functional programming language that is friendly to beginners. This got me thinking: why not use some of the concepts and techniques from the functional world in Android programming? When most people hear the term Functional Programming, they think…

MVP is the new black in AndroidDev and there’s about a billion ways to do it. One common mistake that is oft repeated is that developers keep including way too many activity/fragment lifecycle events inside their presenters ending up destroying the separation between the view and presentation layers. The benefits…
