- React Native is used by many teams at Facebook. LightSpeed had intense constraints and is an awesome engineering achievement. Writing the core in C and leveraging the platform as much as possible was the right call for them.Did Facebook just kill off React Native? Either way, it's funny that I actually agree. We write all our hybrid shells with the native platform tooling (and then fill them with server-rendered HTML using Turbolinks!). Full control to level up UI to native. engineering.fb.com/data-infrastru…
- I can't believe it's been ten years… We were wrong about async, batched, serializable, but this is otherwise just as relevant today as it was back then. Huge props and thank you to the RN community for a decade-long journey iterating to greatness.

- I really enjoyed this chat about open source, engineering management, and @reactjs for @software_daily.

- NuxtLabs joining Vercel feels like the right kind of full circle. They’ve built tools developers love: open by default, designed to work everywhere. Vercel’s open SDK strategy = strong cohesion with our infra, loose coupling by design. Welcome @Atinux and the NuxtLabs team!NuxtLabs, creators of Nuxt and Nitro, are joining Vercel. Same license, roadmap, and open governance, but now in a joint mission to build the best web.
