Or of course the hardware.

Never seen any OS that didn't crash. To be fair I was very surprised when I saw the blue screen of death several years ago. But that is my own personal computers.
Sluggish? See that all the time. Not only dev boxes but on production systems.
I deal with distributed systems and I am always being surprised by strange reboots. Not to mention boxes that have a persistent single service failures while other presumably duplicate boxes do not. Those are cloud boxes by the way, so probably as nearly identical as one can get.
Things fail. I just plan on that.

Right, I'm very tolerant and patient (I'm told by less technically-inclined people) when it comes to failures. But it's the sheer number of failures that's causing me to compare Android with Windows 3.x. At some point, you have to cut your losses and rewrite the whole thing from scratch.
So how Android works so much better for other people...I really don't know.

It's great to hear that you've found a programming platform you enjoy, like Android, and that you appreciate its simplicity and performance. Many developers have their preferred environments and operating systems based on their specific needs and preferences. Android, with its focus on mobile and touch-based interfaces, has indeed provided a unique development experience.

I'm sure Chris would be happy to send you a bill for the recruitment fee, if you insist on paying one.

Yes, it's paid in rep points - but once taxes are assessed, you normally end up out of pocket ...

I've just updated one of my new articles this morning and got a 1/5 without leaving any comment or interesting suggestion. The vote was not removed because the article is relatively new and has not got enough upvotes. I also got another 1/5 on another article but this one was removed because the article has enough upvotes.
Do serial downvoters still exist on CodeProject?

Always have and always will, for the same reason they troll!
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

Well, I can't speak for any of the others, but...
Seriously, I see no reason to vote an article a 1 when I can report it as "Extremely poor quality" or something instead. Not meaning yours, of course. Not sure I saw it.
In so many cases, I feel I'm not qualified to judge an article, so I don't.

This. This is helpful, where a one star is not, especially if you point out weak areas that could use improvement.

Apparently there are plenty of peeps (not saying you) that feel qualified enough to argue on them though.

Definitively yes.

No problem, vote deletion can happen later too. If enough upvotes come, then it will disappear. The "age" of the vote has nothing to say in that balance

Hi! Just a quick note to let you know that when you report an article as spam (as you just did with two of them) you also need to report the user as well, both on their home page, and on the Spam and Abuse Watch Discussion Boards[^].
If you don't, then when the article closes we have no way to dispose of the spammer and that just makes his job easier next time.
You also get a little extra rep as a "thank you" when you do that.
When you report in S&A, please make sure the title of the article and the username appear in the subject line - that way we don't get multiple reports of the same spam!

And not only with articles. Everyone here gets it from time to time even in the forums.

It's a shame when you put so much time and effort on an article and someone who even didn't read it come and vote 1/5 without leaving any reason or any comment.

Yeah, it's disappointing, but some people just want to be jerks.
