I've built out an open source Android template project that uses multiple modules, MVI architecture and jetpack compose.

Heavily inspired by @chrisbanes
Tivi app.

Question for programmers. I've been a commercial self taught Dev for a few years now and I'm toying with the idea of doing a computer science degree.

Would it bring value?

@RAC_Care @TheRAC_UK you just sent me a text saying due to the high winds it's taking you longer. I'm stood outside lads, there is no wind

@RAC_Care @RAC_Care @TheRAC_UK credit where credit is due, when you're patrolman tipped up, he was funny, friendly and got me going.

Please pass on my thanks, the guy was radical.

[Pedro @PedroTheMighty]

@RAC_Care @TheRAC_UK @RAC_Care done. You just called and said it would be another 40 mins. But that's what the last guy said. I'm gibbering. Would appreciate a pickup. Especially considering I'm a member and you've just made me pay £150

[Pedro @PedroTheMighty]

@RAC_Care @TheRAC_UK here we go again. I'm on the side of the M42. Have been for 45 mins. Your dispatch said your patrolman should be here by 2230. It's not much above freezing and I'm far from warm. Would appreciate if you could give me an ETA on when they'll be here. Thank you.

@JosephO_Connell @MrSIowJam @Mans_JS Mate I'm a self taught Dev. Been commercial for 2 years, I was a knuckle dragger in the Army for 12 years now I'm an Android dev using Kotlin and Java. There will be times where you have no idea what is happening. Just keep smiling and swimming and you'll be fine. Good luck!

[Pedro @PedroTheMighty]

@JoeParks642 Haha most definitely. Also, think of the drop in pollution!
When I was in the @BritishArmy I used to whine about the REME recovery mechanics taking 6 hours to get us when we broke down.
@TheRAC_UK @RAC_Care took 48 hours. I owe some REME guys and gals an apology

@TheRAC_UK @TheRAC_UK @RAC_Care Thanks mate! Good thing I've got Twitter because no has called or text me to tell me about it 😂

I haven't been keeping an eye out for carrier pigeon to be fair to you.

[Pedro @PedroTheMighty]

@RAC_Care @TheRAC_UK have taken 43 hours and counting to tow my van a 2.5 hour drive.

Every surfboard that me and my wife have is in that van and the surf is PUMPING.

Here's a picture of me in a new wetsuit that's just been delivered... If only I had a board.

@TheRAC_UK @RAC_Care the average walking speed of an Asian Elephant is 4.5 mph. On long days, they can cover 121 miles.

That means that with breaks, and the elephant going slower because it's towing a vehicle, the van would still arrive quicker than by tow truck.

@RAC_Care @TheRAC_UK the van is at the garage! The call for a tow was requested by your patrolman (who was lovely by the way) at 1920 Sunday. I found out it had arrived at 1920 Tuesday. You took 48 hours to tow a vehicle 128 miles. That means your average speed was 2.66 mph.

@RAC_Care @TheRAC_UK @TheRAC_UK @RAC_Care your silence is kind of deafening here.

Do you know where the van is now?

Do you need me to call the @TheAA_UK for you?

[Pedro @PedroTheMighty]

@RAC_Care Hi @TheRAC_UK, I can't because they closed at 1730. Thanks for the update that my van has been delivered... Via twitter... Because I asked.

Was there somewhere they could leave the keys?

[Pedro @PedroTheMighty]

@powelltam @RAC_Care @TheRAC_UK Yeah, at least they're consistent. Me and my wife waited for 7 hours for them to tell us they couldn't tow us.

[Pedro @PedroTheMighty]

@TheRAC_UK Hi @TheRAC_UK do you have an ETA of the van to the garage?

They're expecting it today and I didn't think it would take 44 hours and counting to cover 2.5 hours of driving.

[Pedro @PedroTheMighty]

@MilitaryBanter I've heard @JohnnyMercerUK did something similar when he still dressed as a bush for a living

[Pedro @PedroTheMighty]

@RAC_Care @RAC_Care you guys are so funny. You can tweet a reply in under 10 mins but you can't manage a callback in like 7 hours.

[Pedro @PedroTheMighty]

@TheRAC_UK has took over 24 hours and counting to tow my van a 2.5 hour trip.

They took 7 hours to tell us they couldn't tow us, and it was only after me constantly calling them.

Would not bother wasting your time or money with them.
