Why This Topic Matters OTP (One-Time Password) verification is a critical security feature in modern mobile applications. Whether you're building a fintech app, healthcare platform, or any service requiring user authentication, implementing OTP verification efficiently can be the difference between a smooth user experience and frustrated users abandoning your app. The react-native-otp-auto-verif
Introduction Building a mobile application that handles sensitive financial data — crypto transactions, KYC verification, gift cards — means security is not an afterthought. It is a core deliverable. During the development of a cross-platform fintech application, one of the non-negotiables on the security checklist was runtime application self-protection (RASP). After evaluating our options, we
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.

It's a one-line item on the roadmap. "Send a push notification when X happens." Estimate is two days, three if the backend doesn't have FCM credentials yet. There's a library for it. The library is the visible part. The other 90% is platform lifecycle, registration state machines, race conditions with navigation, payload archaeology, and a half-dozen iOS and Android quirks. Nobody writes them down
State of Software Engineering in 2026: A Reality Check Beyond the AI Hype Three and a half years ago, Matt Welsh, PhD and former Google engineer, published "The End of Programming" in Communications of the ACM and declared that classical computer science was over. The meteor had hit. Engineers were the dinosaurs. The state of software engineering in 2026, he implied, would look nothing like what
GitHub Copilot just got a lot more complicated — and not in a good way. If you tried to sign up for Copilot Pro recently and hit a wall, that's not a bug. GitHub quietly paused new sign-ups for Copilot Pro, Pro+, and Student plans starting in late April 2026. No end date announced. No workaround offered. Just a message and a door that won't open. That alone would be worth covering. But they made t
Hi everyone, Konrad and Kacper from Software Mansion here! 👋 A quiet week — no big headlines — but still a couple of solid articles and releases in the React ecosystem. On the React side, the WIP React Compiler in Rust is being tested at Meta. We also have a 18-month retrospective on the React Compiler, a deep dive into how React streams UI, and a step-by-step guide for migrating from Radix UI to
