I had this same problem too. With my team, whenever someone needs to edit the project file, we shout it out. 'Changing project file!'. They make their changes and push. Everyone then pulls the new file and go on their merry way. It's a bit of a pain, but it works and we rarely have conflicts now.

Please don't put words into my mouth or make assumptions about me. I am primarily an iOS dev. An app I worked on won an Apple Design Award and multiple other apps are in the Top 5 paid apps for their category in the iTunes store. To say that I develop for iOS at a basic level is laughable at best.

XCode isn't perfect, but I don't need google for blog posts or spend hours writing scripts or messing with configuration files in order to get it into a usable state.

Being open source has nothing to do with how easy a platform is to develop on. All that means is that the platform's source code is available.

This is another symptom of why Android development is such a pain. You have to jump through hoop after hoop after hoop just to get to the point where you can get actual work done. If a tool ends up wasting more time than it saves, it isn't a tool, it is an obstacle.

I believe he said that they SHIP code every day.

You can multi-task in areas other than work. You could be reading a book, playing a musical instrument, making phone calls, or even enjoying some recreational refreshments that impair your ability to operate a motor vehicle.

Much like taking public transportation to work, it turns commute time into time that can be spent doing something other than paying attention to the commute.

I'm an iOS developer and the one reason why I don't develop for Android is: there's way more money in iOS.

The one app I ported to Android was massively pirated and minimally purchased.

You can indicate via the Info.plist that your application doesn't support multitasking. The app will run through the full startup and shutdown routines on foregrounding and backgrounding.

With the relatively recent rise of 'Obama is a secret muslim!' and various other idiotic statements, I question the ability of a lot of people to dismiss these ideas as stupid.

Advertising. It seems to me that money from advertising pays for most content nowadays.

Relativity is a more modern alternative to Concordance.

As a former bicycle commuter, I have been hit by eggs, sodas, and even a CD. A lot of people just shout things as they speed by, but they're driving too fast for it to be understandable.

I wish I would have got license plate numbers. The cars were usually too far ahead by the time I realized what happened.

The place I usually go for my MRIs bills $1600 for an MRI of the L-spine with contrast (this is Phoenix, AZ, USA). The only other place I am aware of cost wise is a local hospital that performed a full central nervous system MRI with contrast for $7000. All of the other MRIs I've had were either inpatient or wrapped into the cost of a larger treatment plan so I do not know of the cost.
