Although React and React Native share the same core principles, what’s behind them couldn’t be more different. Before we get into React vs. React Native let's take a look at how and why we ended up with React in the first place.

Hiring is risky, so obviously we can’t pick a developer at random. You have to talk to them and test their knowledge to mitigate the risk of hiring someone that isn’t a good fit for the position.

What’s the most elegant way to manage configuration in a React Native app? Well, there may be many legit approaches but here’s one I like.

As explained on part one of this post "The Current State of Debugging on React Native - Part One: EXPO", Turbo Modules changed expectations on how we can debug the running JavaScript code, disallowing the ability to debug remotely, it now requires the debug instance to connect to the JavaScript running on device.

Turbo modules broke remote debugging for React Native on all JavaScript. Until now you might have not been impacted by this if you don't use a native module that leverages Turbo Module's JSI features like react-native-reanimated. Moving forward with the new Fabric architecture everyone will be impacted.

Programming is part art and part science. How does story telling with your code fit into this dichotomy?

Over the years, we’ve evaluated thousands of React Native developers, carefully honing our interview skills and constantly improving our vetting process by asking the right questions.

The first step is acknowledging that you won’t ever be able to know everything. So set your sights a little lower and focus on knowing just enough to be dangerous. That is, you should be able to hold a conversation about a new technology, and more importantly, identify when it may be appropriate to start learning more about it in earnest.

Even if they are well-compensated and are working a manageable amount of hours, a lack of recognition and appreciation can still leave a developer feeling unmotivated and exhausted.

Guillermo Rauch clearly knows how to build a successful startup, founding Vercel in 2015 and building it into a frontend developer platform that raised $150M in a funding round last year that saw its valuation double to $2.5 billion.
