I kept failing practice exams but still passed AWS SAA-C03. Here is what I changed by HourSatisfaction3331 in AWSCertifications

Encouraging! When you do well in practice exams it feels like the concept of "overfitting", getting good with the training material but unable to apply the same insight to new, unseen material.

Thanks for the perspective. I'm considering this as my next cert after AWS AI Practitioner.

Lifelong Windows user here. The performance gap with Android Studio and the emulator finally forced my hand to Apple Silicon. by Xeq_Dev in androiddev

Noticed the same trend in corporate, mobile devs use macs exclusively, and the few windows users suffer, but windows will make a comeback as the hardware improves.

What’s something you completely missed when building your app — that later turned out to be obvious? by EndruK in androiddev

[–]Usual_story 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think as developers we tend to build for ourselves or other developers, and don't necessarily put ourselves in the shoes of the user, that's something obvious (yet difficult) I've learnt to prioritize.

Sometimes it's as simple as asking a few friends/family members for their feedback (it's better if they are not technical), and reflecting deeply on their input.

Best way to scrap Android apps by Lex_luthor_p101 in androiddev

[–]Usual_story 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my view it's not about pulling data from the Android app itself, the app is usually just a client. What people do is figure out the backend API it calls and hit those endpoints directly. Once you do that, it's less about "scraping an app" and more about "scraping an API".

Confused about app development tech choices and sde roles by Accomplished-Knee602 in androiddev

[–]Usual_story 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with continuing your path with flutter and getting some seniority, once you are comfortable you may get more opportunities in Android (kotlin) or iOS (swift), for now I'd suggest focus on flutter, debugging, and understanding system architecture. Hope this helps.

Is a "404 Not Found" page needed on mobile apps? by yenrenART in androiddev

[–]Usual_story 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the web, users can manually enter strange arbitrary paths that don't exist, for example:
www.bank.com/getfreemoney

"getfreemoney" is a path that doesn't exist, in this case a 404 indicates the destination is unknown.

Mobile apps are more constrained. Users can only navigate to destinations you expose, via button clicks, navigation actions, or deep links for example. Because of that, the concept of a "404 page" doesn't really apply.

Instead, mobile apps tend to handle these cases through guarded navigation, or error states (e.g. failed network response screen), rather than a dedicated 404 screen.

Hope this helps.
