We're all learning how to ship more side projects. If you're "in the bubble" it can feel like everyone is repo-maxxing. Shipping weekly. Spinning up agents to scaffold full apps overnight. New OSS dropped every Friday. The reality I see with most developers is much more normal: They have six or seven repos sitting in various states of half-attention.

The goal is to give reviewers the context they usually have to gather manually: who owns the service, whether it is deployed, whether basic repository standards are in place, and whether the change looks safe to merge. A useful AI pull request workflow can do exactly that. When a PR opens, i
React Native's New Architecture — JSI, Fabric, and TurboModules — has been "coming soon" for long enough that some teams wrote it off as vaporware. It shipped. It is now default in new React Native projects. And it meaningfully changes how the framework works at the performance-critical boundaries between JavaScript and native code. This post is not a getting-started guide. It is an honest account

How I Used GitHub Actions to Auto-Publish to AMO on Every Release Manually uploading extension files to AMO (Mozilla's Add-On Observatory) is tedious. After the fifth time forgetting to increment the version number, I automated it with GitHub Actions. Here's exactly how I set up the pipeline for the Weather & Clock Dashboard extension.
