Hey there Perseverance fans on Android! I have a shameless plug for you... I've recently rewritten from the ground-up my app MarsFeed using the latest Material Design libraries and patterns.

I wanted an app that notified me of new images posted by NASA, but I also wanted it to feel like a first class citizen on my Android device. I couldn't find one that checked all those boxes... So I made one!

It's entirely free, so check it out if this sounds like something of interest to you! If not, absolutely no worries! ๐Ÿ˜„

Not just you! I'm looking for the link as well, and looks like it's just an image.

I think I've learned to get less attached to opinionated terminology in code and database design because I see it happen all the time where the usage of the value/field/thing can evolve naturally over time as the business needs evolve. And refactoring field names (as an example) from UI to database is often a painful exercise, not without significant regression risks. (Depending on the size and complexity of your systems, of course)

So while I totally agree with you and others that ideally naming would be consistent throughout, my real world experience with the issue has taught me that this isn't the hill I die on.

My 2 cents from 10 years experience in the industry.

Interesting - my company largely maxing out at Java 9, I often forget about how far Java has come now that it's working on v21 ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Same here. I'm a Tech Lead right now, but I still live in the code. I see myself as on-trajectory to Architect. I have no direct-reports or any of the responsibilities they go with direct-reports. That role is called a Team Lead at my company (which is on-trajectory for management). I stay at from that stuff like the plague ๐Ÿคฎ

I am so incredibly intrigued by this! This might sound like a dumb question, but are there any examples of what this looks like hosted on GitHub? My employer mandates GitHub as a standardized location for enterprise code. So I'm curious if there's a way to live in both worlds at once and not go mad.
