TypeScript doesn't replace API validation TypeScript helps at development time. Your API can still receive: - Missing fields - Wrong types - Invalid values - Unexpected payloads None of that gets caught at runtime by types alone. I add Zod for real runtime validation — TypeScript plus runtime validation is a much safer combination than TypeScript on its own.

Want your first 100 signups? Here are the places I'd test I'm building a simple distribution checklist for the first 100 signups. Community: - Reddit - Indie Hackers - Hacker News - Quora - Facebook Groups Launch platforms: - Product Hunt - BetaList - Uneed - TinyLaunch - SideProjectors - Launching Next Social: - LinkedIn - X - TikTok - Medium Directories: - AlternativeTo - SaaSHub - Relevant niche directories The important part for me is not the number of places. It's tracking: source → visit → signup → activation → payment. Otherwise I'm just collecting links.

Reanimated + Gesture Handler is a powerful mobile UI combination For interactions like these, I reach for Reanimated and Gesture Handler together: - Swipe actions - Bottom sheets - Dragging - Expand/collapse - Shared-element-style transitions The part that matters isn't stacking animations everywhere — it's making the interaction feel natural.

Need honest feedback on your startup? Try these communities first I don't always need more compliments. Sometimes I need someone to tell me why the product isn't good enough. I'd test it in: - r/roastmystartup - r/sideproject - r/imadethis - Indie Hackers - Hacker News - Relevant developer communities - Relevant founder communities - Product Hunt Questions I'd ask: 1. Is the problem obvious? 2. Is the product useful? 3. What would stop you from paying? 4. What is confusing? 5. What would you use instead? 6. What would make you recommend it? That feedback can shape the product much faster than guessing.

EAS changes the React Native deployment workflow For an Expo project, I lean on EAS for: - Builds - App Store / Play Store submission - Updates - Credentials - CI/CD The goal isn't just producing a build — it's making the release process repeatable.

Need your first 1,000 relevant visitors? Here's the list I'd work through I wouldn't expect one launch to generate 1,000 visitors. I'd stack smaller sources: Community: - Reddit - Indie Hackers - Hacker News - Quora Launch: - Product Hunt - BetaList - Uneed - TinyLaunch Social: - LinkedIn - X - TikTok Content: - Medium - Substack - - Hashnode Directories: - AlternativeTo - SaaSHub - Relevant niche directories The interesting number isn't just 1,000 visitors. It's how many become users.

When I'd consider Convex instead of Supabase I lean Convex when I want → - TypeScript-first backend code - Reactive queries - Generated APIs - Tight React integration I lean Supabase when → - PostgreSQL/SQL is central - I want direct database access - Relational querying actually matters Neither has to win — the data model decides.

Starting an indie-hacker project? Here's a simple launch stack to work through I'd split the job into four buckets. Community: - Reddit - Indie Hackers - Hacker News - Quora Launch: - Product Hunt - BetaList - Uneed - TinyLaunch - SideProjectors Discovery: - AlternativeTo - SaaSHub - Niche directories Content: - LinkedIn - X - Medium - Substack - - Hashnode Then I'd measure what actually moves users.

Shopify is leaving React Native. Should React Native developers be worried? I saw Shopify moving its mobile apps from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin. My take: this is more about Shopify's scale and how AI changed the cost of native development than React Native suddenly becoming a bad choice. For smaller teams, shared code can still be a huge advantage. What do you think: React Native or native for a new app in 2026? Source:

My take: don't measure an AI developer by how much code they generate If an agent writes 10,000 lines and creates 20 problems, that's not productivity. I'd rather measure: features shipped, bugs avoided, time saved, tests passed and how easy the code is to maintain. What would you use as an AI productivity metric? Source:

If your React Native app feels slow, check these first Before rewriting anything, check these first: - Unnecessary re-renders - Huge lists - Expensive calculations during render - Oversized images - Excessive API calls - Animation work - Unoptimized state updates - Leftover debug overhead Performance work starts with finding the actual bottleneck, not guessing.

My take: don't let AI make your architecture decisions by default AI can suggest ten architectures in seconds. That doesn't mean ten of them are good for your product. I still want to understand the tradeoffs: complexity, scale, maintenance, security and how difficult the system will be to change later. Would you let an agent choose your architecture? Source:

1. Read guidelines twice before submitting 2. Lead with the problem, not features 3. Show traction, even small numbers help 4. Follow up once, then move on 5. Pick the right category for discovery

Do developers really need 5 AI coding tools? New coding agents keep appearing, but I don't think switching tools every week makes us better developers. I'd rather know one agent deeply: how to give it context, how to review its work, how to test it and where not to trust it. Which coding agent are you actually sticking with? Source:

I think the next developer skill is becoming "agent management" Not just prompting. I'm talking about breaking work into tasks, giving agents context, setting constraints, reviewing diffs and deciding what should stay human-owned. The developer may increasingly become the person coordinating the work rather than typing every line. Would you call this a new developer skill? Source:

Coding agents need boundaries, not just better models The more an agent can do — run commands, access files, use tools — the more important permissions and review become. For me, the future isn't "let AI do everything". It's "let AI do more inside clearly defined boundaries". What should a coding agent never be allowed to do automatically? Source:
