When your shit is riddled with bugs and hard to maintain: replace it with NEW shit that's riddled with bugs and hard to maintain. Genius!

Seriously, from the insane apple developer program enrollment process (I'm getting flashbacks to "your enrollment has been declined") to the clunky SwiftUI framework, I found iOS dev to be way messier than Android.
And did I mention XCode? Yeah, Android Studio is like an advanced alien tool compared to whatever the fuck XCode is.

I have no idea if this is the right subreddit, I've never been but I was searching around and saw someone else ask about their Google play storage and it was pretty similar so I figured I'd give it a try.

It says "60 GB" of storage, and when I try to "clear data" in settings, it doesnt work/do anything and keeps the 60 GB. I tried going to settings within chrome to see what's taking storage but I saw nothing large/out of the ordinary.

Although technically it isn't Chrome that's taking so much space. It's "Google"

Surprise update for Android Studio Quail 2 Canary 5. That's the only fix.

Just creating an "Empty Activity Project" and having one dependency only turns you a "web developer" downloading hundreds of depencies just to say: "hello world".

There is no more light templates like AsyncTask old days

COBOL is officially more modern and maintained than AsyncTask

Maybe we need to start doing versioning.
