Yes its one time for android, if you’re earning money with ads or purchases, google will take 1/3 of that amount, then you will have to figure out taxes on your own and there’s also some special policies for selling online goods in India, but if you’re just making apps - its one time fee to be able to upload them to google play store, or you can just distribute with froid/github for free, which is a great route as well

From the perspective of FOSS developer:

I simply don’t want to pay €100 every single year to Tim Apple to make a free hobby app.

Android has more ways to distribute, and the “official” way is one time €25 fee and that’s it.

All these things are solving different problems and you absolutely don’t have to use them if they complicate your current workflow.

I can’t imagine making a high interval trading app, things like notion or figma without modern libraries.

jQuery only gets you so far before you will wake up in unmaintainable hell where your team has to re-invent the wheel

Always confused when I see memes like this

You learn js, then you learn a bit about ts and pick react/vue if you want to do frontend or nodejs if you’re into backend. Then you do something basic, like a barebones twitter clone, weather app, etc. By the point when you’re 80% done, you will know most important parts of the ecosystem naturally

After that, learning all the supporting libraries/frameworks is super simple since next is just superset around react, same for nuxt. Solid, svelte, fresh etc are just different flavors of react. Even vue is looking like react this days with composition api, simply because they nailed the simplicity and dev comfort. Average dev will never face weird js/ts parts or confusing libraries because most of their day to day job will be moving buttons and looking how to persist user basket in browser storage…

Sure there are a lot of libraries and ways to do stuff, but 90% of them are irrelevant, only-for-hobby or simply dead and unused since 2010. Knowing ts+(react|vue)+(vuex|redux-tk|mobx)+(styled|tailwind) will land someone a basic job where they can progress and expand their knowledge lol

Retirement age was raised to 64 here, but they also added new regulations and kind off point system where unless you were working since 18 you have to retire much later (around 68), but this protest is kind off died over months ago to be honest.

And now protests are: 2 police man killed 17 y.o who happened to be brown and Muslim because they first threatened him and he refused to comply, then tried to speed off away, almost hitting a pedestrian on his way. Policeman guys happened to have right wing associated tattoos as well, and even though the killed boy was someone with many criminal offences, shooting at him was not justified.

In addition to what others said,

There is also a fear of my own code being judged online.

Please don’t worry about it. This is how you get better in your career/skills. You need other’s judgement to think about your code and how you can improve it and your skills. :) Thats the huge bonus you get out of code reviews.
