Black bagging someone for the crime of being brown when I see a ring on their finger and suddenly I’m like, “oh shit my bad didn’t know you were married”

There’s definitely overhead to spinning up and running a JS interpreter (although it uses Hermes instead of V8, which helps) as well as communicating between JS and the native layer. I think the extent to which that stuff results in bad performance on its own is greatly exaggerated and is acceptable for a lot of use cases.

For the extra effort of learning how to optimize RN code, you get the benefits of:

  • not maintaining 3 codebases to deploy to iOS, Android, and the web
  • transferable knowledge if you have a lot of JS and/or React devs who don’t know the languages for native dev
  • OTA updates, meaning you don’t need Google and Apple’s approval every single time you wanna change styling on a button or fix a bug and your users can’t remain on ancient buggy versions forever

I’d say when dev resources are limited, React Native is a good choice. Was it a good choice for Microsoft? Seems like the answer is no, but that could easily be the result of bad org charts just as much as the failure of individual devs.

As far as vibe coding goes, I was very happy with it right up until I wasn’t. I hit the same “this is a mess I’d better rewrite it” wall I always do with side projects except I hit it faster. At work I’ve found AI useful for speeding up monotonous tasks, but I’ve never had luck with just letting it fly and not giving the code a close review as soon as it’s generated. Prompting AI to fix a bug it created seems to create more bugs just as often.

It’s possible. I wouldn't make that assumption without profiling the code though.

AI needs to be regulated from the point of production (hexbear.net)
 

Enough talk about watermarks and identifying which AI slop is real or fake. Regulate the power consumption, the water usage, the emissions, and/or the bandwidth. Either kill that shit in the cradle or let companies finally figure out how to proooooompt without killing our habitats even faster than we already were.

It works on occasion for certain issues if people do it en masse. Just not a path to systemic change

Are skinny people okay? (hexbear.net)

I feel like every week there’s a new trend or term that skinny people are using to shame each other and call each other fat. And the threshold for who is and isn’t fat just keeps moving down. Makes me wanna gatekeep fatness, body dysmorphia be damned.

I genuinely don’t think there’s been this much a cultural shift towards an obsession with thinness since Heroin Chic.

Edit: I hear y’all loud and clear. Time to reset my algo

One-shot idea (hexbear.net)
 

Players walk in to prefilled character sheets. Their characters are all peons in a battle that’s about to commence. Every time they die, they raise in rank and in level. They retain the memories they’ve gained while being other people and can choose which army to side with when they enter their next body.

Vibe coded my first app (hexbear.net)
 

My work is requiring me to start using AI so I did an exploration this weekend.

I was blown away by how quickly I was able to get a working app. Full social media clone complete with persistence, video and audio playback, auth, realtime updates, and image uploads in about half an hour. I was then horrified by the quality of the code and how little I understood what the code was doing. I 10x’ed my speed, but in return debugging and editing was 100x harder and more time consuming.

I was also attempting to learn React Native and took note of how little debugging using the AI helped me actually learn the platform I was working with. I ended up abandoning the AI in favor of just learning directly.
