i did the exact same thing and thought the exact same thing.

Been working on some personal branding

No thoughts, only vibes

👋 facing the inevitable manager transition atm

The startup I work for is likely to get significant investment and start growing rapidly making a new product. I think every new hire is going to erode our 'group of old mates' atmosphere and I'm sad we're likely going to lose that 🫤

How does everyone keep up with discord. I'm in a small few and the message volume is unbelievable.
Do you just check in occasionally?
Mute forever and forget?
Actively keep on top of it every day?

loved this edit from the game. captures the feeling: www.instagram.com/reel/DDNE_wp...

:o you bought a premium domain for a free project ?

My kikk.be talk is finaly live. It's a wild ride through data art, brand alogorithms and custom design tools. I explain what is Variable Design and why it matters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBcr...

Yeah you too Adam…. it seems a lot nicer here.

… works differently.

you’re cracked though it’ll be fine.

ummm… any other advice.

use @mrousavy.com libs where possible. (especially react-native-mmkv)

use react native migration helper when the time comes. stay on top of version upgrades.

message if stuck

… just make some react native apps to learn. you’ll pick it up fast. there are lots of not-so-clear mindset shifts you’ll have to go through. eg - my first iteration of our app has some bugs because screens aren’t automatically unmounted when you leave/return like the in browser so useEffect…

… competition. if you can use expo i highly recommend you do. they have put a lot of work into making these systems easier to navigate and their dev tools make life easier. it wasn’t an option for my company…

… which is a faster and allows talking to the underlying systems a bit easier.

you will need to become familiar with xcode especially and android studio to a lesser extent.

if you don’t use expo you’ll feel like a second class citizen. it’s a bit like next and react except there is no good …

i use react native quite extensively at work.

People like to say if you know react then react native is easy but it’s not so simple, if you need anything beyond the basics it can be quite a steep curve.

it’s better than it was even a few years ago. they moved to a new internal architecture …

so beautiful <3

marbles on stream but fall guys?

geeeeeeeeeeenius

i always feel like i’m fighting next aswell, will be interested in the migration post mortem

are you serious? that’s incredible

maybe this explains why my brother in law hoards it at the expense of having a warm house or clothes without holes in

Congratulations Steve!!

amazing. you never stop winning 🥇

all i know it that i will have farming elements and puzzles

ok so imagine it

you have seed node at the base of the plant containing all the algorithm for growing the plant (it’s dna)
it can generate child nodes that go out and scrape data. that data they feed to the seed node which grows the plan out the top with scraped data

🌱🌱🌱

howwwww 😭

just impressive dude, anything you can’t do?

oh fuck yeah. is it your design?

looks almost medieval. awesome

Are you gunna do A/B tests for conversion. i’m so worried when i change stuff it’s not actually progress.

that looks amazing 😍

I tend not to use apps without social login 🙈
