We’ve built a towering pile of shite
&quot;[Android] development tools are focussed on large teams of highly trained software engineers, who all intimately understand every esoteric aspect of App development.&quot;<p>This really rings true to me. I almost cringe when I have to explain how to do some of the most basic things to non android developers.<p>Aside from the dozens of libraries you need to include, and need to know where to find and what version is compatible with what, the tooling itself is an insurmountable mess for new developers. It&#x27;s also not getting any simpler.
