The fact that we're slowly removing the apprenticeship layer and passing it off as "productivity gains" should be far more alarming. Just imagine. The kind of work that is best suited for AI, such as boilerplate code, simple CRUD endpoints, and basic component wiring, is actually similar to the work that helps in training junior developers. It was not that we were working on those tasks because th
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. This post is not a getting-started guide. It is an honest account
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
Applicant Tracking Systems used to be boring. For most of the 2010s, an ATS was essentially a database with a careers page bolted on top: a place to dump resumes, push them through a pipeline of stages, and email rejections in bulk. The interesting work happened around it, not inside it. That has shifted in the last two years, and the shift is deeper than the marketing pages suggest. I have spent
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
