Back on Linux after ~20 years. Mint felt familiar. Omarchy felt right. The difference wasn’t apps—it was workflow: tiling, hotkeys, and zero mouse wandering. #linux #hyprland

I’ve spent the last two weeks trying spec-driven development, and my own prompts beat every “AI dev kit” I’ve tried. Those kits mostly waste my time, tokens, and context.

“Review fatigue” is real. AI can flood teams with generated PRs, making it easier for subtle bugs to slip through. Without better review strategies, we risk trading speed for reliability. #AIcoding #DevPatterns #CodeReview

A hidden cost of React Native: your app is a patchwork of packages by different authors. Even if each works fine alone, they’ve likely never been tested together. Native dev has other challenges—but this kind of fragility isn’t one of them.

The AI Revolution: How Artificial Intelligence is Supercharging React Native's Rise to Mobile Development Dominance https://50lo.me/2025/06/14/the-ai-revolution-how-artificial.html

First I saw a wave of posts about a0.dev and now bolt.new added #reactnative support.

There’s definitely been a lot of progress in #ai lately and it might convince some companies to switch from fully native to RN to reduce costs. https://a0.dev https://bolt.new

I’ve been using Orion browser on iOS for about a week now. Ability to install Firefox and Chrome extensions is nice, but I found that don’t really need any new extensions. My current set of Safari extensions on iOS cover all my needs.

React Native for SwiftUI devs https://50lo.me/2024/11/23/react-native-for.html

I took extensive notes while reading the React Native and React documentation this weekind. I plan to post them after verifying that all code snippets in my notes are correct. Similar to my previous posts, I will try to explain React Native using concepts familiar to SwiftUI developers.

I found a few additional differences in the TypeScript documentation that are not mentioned in the Swift-TypeScript cheatsheet I linked in one of my previous posts:

The return type of a function can be inferred. If there’s no return type specified in the declaration, it doesn’t mean the function returns v... 50lo.me https://50lo.me/2024/11/17/i-found-a.html

During my journey from Swift to TypeScript, I often wonder how developers migrating in the opposite direction feel. What do they appreciate about Swift, and what aspects of TypeScript do they miss?

One of the things I like about Swift is the ability to make illegal states unrepresentable using type system. It looks like something similar is possible in TypeScript using combination of union types and literal types.

So far, [https://dabbott.github.io/webdev-projects/cheatsheets/swift-typescript.html](Swift-Typescript Cheatsheet) has been the best resource for learning TS for me.
