Here at Apporio our developers love to develop apps. They love to fun as well but when they are working, they make sure to be 100% efficient. So, when I asked one of my developer friends at work, “don’t you get bored or frustrated sitting at your desk the whole day, all occupied with writing those complex and confusing codes and still comes to the party fully charged, even your day seems to be a lot tiring than mine.”
He replied with a smirk on his face, “I know the right tool for the job.” I started to wonder, what those tools can be?
