Phew, the amount of hoops I needed to jump through to create a Google Play Store account for an LLC. There are way more in 2025 compared to what I went through in 2012. The process does make the Google Play Store feel a lot less like the wild west like it did in the early 2010s. 😅

One reason Apple fought tooth and nail to disallow web payments for apps:
Because Apple’s IAP is SO bad in many ways, and *so many* apps will move to web-based payments now not mainly because of the 30% Apple fee, but because of how bad IAP is (from a dev perspective).
Let me give you21 examples:

I'm still refining this idea, but I think a lot of resistance to varying levels of AI in our workflows (from Copilots to "vibe coding") is because we put code on too high a pedestal. Now that we can generate large amounts of it easily, our roles need to shift.

Stop Putting Code on a Pedestal :: EvanHalley•Dev — Coding is a habit
Large language models have been injected into your daily workflows for a few years. I see where it's going, but let's stop putting the code on a pedestal.

Interesting to witness these tools evolve and how they are being used. I've been on the GitHub Copilot bandwagon for a while, but it still feels like there's another level I can reach send me productivity through the roof. 🚀

I recently gave the closing keynote at PyCon South Africa.
In it, I covered everything I've learned going from a developer to a solopreneur, with two goals:
1. Convince people it's a viable career path.
2. Help them do it.
