    Today was my last day at Meta - 5 years with the React team has been incredible. Tomorrow is my first day at @expo - so excited to be putting 100% into building for the builders. Onward! 🚀

    Glad to finally get this shipped! Credit @afoxman4 for kicking off the discussion back in 2022: github.com/microsoft/rnx-…

    Metro 0.81.2 experimentally introduces lazy file hashing, making a cold start around 3-5x faster on larger projects, with minimal (<2%) first build speed tradeoff.
    With Watchman: 6.2s before, 0.7s after. Without Watchman: 7.4s before, 1.8s after

    Faster resolution, faster builds Yesterday's Metro release included a bunch of performance improvements to our resolver, making it around 15x faster. That's especially good news for warm builds.

    Late to the party but I just caught up with this and it's really great overview and an enjoyable listen - if you're curious about Metro, don't miss it! (If anyone has follow up questions I can do my best here too!)

    How do folks do this? Often quality and short-term metrics (usually completion/milestone based) are in tension, and engineers are incentivised to cut corners, especially in an OKR / perf review culture. How do we incentivise quality?

    Replying to @Swizec
    Define "high quality" in terms that you can measure.
