Episode 27: A Couple of Tools

This time, Tor and Chet are joined by... nobody. Instead, we just talk among ourselves about tools. From Android Studio to performance debugging tools to IDE shortcuts to memory analysis tools to Lint rules to animation debugging tools and back to Android Studio, we talk about lots of tools and then some.

Favorite quotes:
"How do you learn IntelliJ power commands?"
"You just have to read the source code."

"We have a Lint rule for that."
(This should be Tor's superhero catch phrase if it's not already)


IDE shortcuts: Killing the joy of programming one keystroke at a time.
