Look, I am sorry, I was trying to find fault with yor post, but I really cant, it is as accurate and precise a post as I have ever seen.
And begs the question, why do people who DONT know get promoted to management?

Exactly. 
THESE PEOPLE REALLY BOTHER ME!! How can they know what you should do without knowing what you want done?!?!

Isn't that the definition of "office worker?" Where's the obligatory Dilbert?

Unposted because it's nearly all of them?

I'd like to agree, except these days I happen to be one again.

Nah, I'm the one that upvoted you. You know me, I'm about as sensitive as a tree stump.

Demote yourself from management so you can think for everybody else again.

Walk out of the marketing department and head down to engineering.

Hi All,
I have done a lot of C a fair amount of VB6, experienced some VB.NET (say no more!), a fair amount of C# and some other languages including C++, I am now seeing a lot people advertising for Scripting wizzes. I only have some limited experience with Python (I am still trying to get better) and debugging some TCL scripts. Are they really worth it, I mean if I needed to install some drivers or something I would cook up a batch file and go (mind you Windoze 8 has probably nuked that as well)... I have used some TCL test scripts which I think I could cook up an application to do in less time...just wondering Yes it's that Friday time...

Ever used Gaffer tape? All these scripting languages are the same thing but for IT ...
|

Hmm, A detail often missed with my CV is my skills with Gaffer Tape (or Duck Tape as this Xed calls it). So it can be used where a more elegant solution would take too long...I have repaired everything from RFID readers to flip flops with the stuff. I have seen it do things that I thought was impossible. Give me a soldering iron, leatherman/multitool, reel of gaffer, I can fix or bodge most things with those three, try explaining why you have a reel in your bag at customs...

You think that's tricky to explain - when I was replacing the battery and earth straps on my car I was equipped with a pry bar, a tub of Vaseline and a number of cable ties. That would have been a difficult conversation if the police had happened upon me walking along the street...

|

|
|
You win. I will never forget the look on that customs agent though...

Maybe they cost less?
Or the advertiser doesn't understand the problem and thinks it can be done with a script very quickly.
Or tried it with a script, failed, and still thinks it can be done that way.
Or had a pile of script poo dumped in his lap and just wants it gone.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Android Studio doesn't always fail at importing projects, but when it does, it's 10000 lines of stack trace omgwtfbbq.

Sounds as though you're talking about some righteous barbeque! Yes, I'm hungry.

Just starting to use Android Studio, how do you like it overall?
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

It's better than Eclipse, but far worse than Visual Studio. You can still get things done very nicely though.
Especially when it comes to debugging and running your projects on remote devices.

For emulation am using GenyMotion way better than the one provided with AS, at least with an AMD processor.
