I believe that almost every Android dev has at least once tried to get a View’s dimension, but it returned 0, nada. This is a very common situation, it is one of those problems that we just Google for a solution and find a workaround that seems to work. We add it to the code without having much idea of what’s going on and that’s it. In this article I’ll explain why this happens and why many of the most used workarounds should be avoided. In the end I’ll give you a very sweet solution.

I recently shared content about Product Thinking during an event and this mindset is changing the way I’m looking at Projects and Products.

One of my biggest concerns as a developer is how a project is structured. Defining a good and clean architecture with helpful names and nice design patterns is very important. It helps you and other developers to easily understand how different components of the code connect to each other and makes our lives easier in the long term. It’s also very important to keep a good documentation about it. Always keep the README.md file updated. It helps new developers a lot.

Living in a heteronormative society is really complicated. Sometimes you can’t just stand up for yourself because you need that money, that job, that place to live. According to The Guardian, most companies in Europe and US are relatively open to LGBTQ+ people at their workspaces. However, 34% of the LGBTQ+ in UK are still in the closet. Continue Reading
We are living in the era of Artificial Intelligence since everyone is talking so much about how it will revolutionize our market and our lives.
