I like JUnit Recipes. While it's written years ago for Java, I like how you can jump around within each chapter and read about different problems that can be solved by running tests. Just reading the problems and the description of eac

I have had the same problem. I studied some leetcode, but didn't feel motivated and never got very good at. Good enough to get an okay job, but nothing at a top-paying company. So you might want to take the approach that you don't

Yes, you can still do that directly (I did that just the other day). I can't entirely understand Google's announcement, but it almost sounded to me like they will forbid sideloading if you're not an "official" dev (
