What if AI could build native apps with a feedback loop as tight as the web's? I'm presenting @backtickjs at @ReactSummit: a different take on React Server Components, for native. Watch the livestream for free with my badge: gitnation.com/badges/react-s… #ReactSummitUS #ReactNative

I used to love bikeshedding APIs. Now I just give subagents examples, no explanation, and ask them to guess what they do. The design they guess without being told is the one people won't have to learn.

Designing even simple websites is so hard these days! So many variables and constraints to consider: - Responsive design across 4+ breakpoints - Light + dark mode - Accessible color contrast - Animations, but also reduce motion setting - Touch and keyboard friendly interactivity

For everyone who thinks the Instagram deal was a no-brainer: - Instagram raised at $500M the day before Zuck offered $1B - $1B was 25% of FB’s $4B cash on hand - It was weeks before the FB IPO - The board wasn’t consulted - Instagram had no revenue This was not an easy call!

The idea of "prize-linked saving accounts" is genius. It makes saving more exciting (which would result in more people saving) at no extra costs to the banks. @WellsFargo @TD_Canada I want one please
