I wish good things could happen lol

I guess it’s my bad for expecting the democrats to do anything other than double down on losses lol. I thought the pain would at least yield a minor victory.

I’m willing to take 0 points with Freiermuth on my fantasy team if it keeps Rodgers mad tonight.

Expo 55 is still just in canary right now, but as far as I can tell, going from Expo 54 -> Expo 55 is gonna be one of the smoothest transitions we've had in a long time.

We need to figure out how to rebuild our democracy so one man can’t starve millions of families.

Seeing a lot of people — often from engineering directors, VPs, and CTOs… — arguing that it's great that LLMs free up devs from writing code so they can focus on just high level. I got a bone to pick with you all.

I'm excited for this next episode of React Native Mornings with @codewithbeto.dev. Tune in for a cool demo and fun Q&A!

📣 Happening Wednesday! React Native Mornings with @mazenchami.dev is back!! This time we're diving into @expo.dev’s UI magic with their very own @codewithbeto.dev! 📆 Wednesday 11/5 at 9am PT 📺 Live on YouTube 🔔 Set a reminder www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hdw...

I liked this a lot www.jrwinget.com/blog/2025-10...

The millennial urge to update an online status to be song lyrics (I am listening to the Mountain Goats again)

Don't worry about whether your post is banger or a flop. Worry about the imminent coming of Thragrax, the Eater of Souls.

Sports Announcers should be allowed to swear on national TV.

I’m glad they put Aaron Rodgers in the ugliest possible NFL uniform tonight for football night in America.

Just remember, when you request changes on my PR, this is who you’re criticizing.

Broncos really having a moment, huh? Good for them.

Pretty good points all around.

This is a good one.

Want to integrate on-device AI features into your React Native apps? Good news! The talk that our very own @gantlaborde.com and @mazenchami.dev recently gave at @cascadiajs.com is now on YouTube! Don't miss it 👇

React & React Native have officially moved to the React Foundation, a new home for the frameworks under the Linux Foundation. The Foundation will maintain infrastructure, fund contributors, and support community projects. Expo is honored to be one of its founding members. expo.dev/blog/the-rea...

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

it's a good format sir

In the age of Claude will we finally see minimal reproducers in OSS issues? Please say yes.

Cool PDF v0.1.10 has 89% parity with react-native-pdf! Still heavily AI generated. I'll be doing some code auditing and documentation to get it production ready. But it should be in a state where you can evaluate if it'll work for you: github.com/coolsoftware...

Up to about 40% parity with the react-native-pdf API surface! Not bad for a day or so of hacking around with Claude. I think it supports most of my very basic use cases, but I'll keep adding to it when I can. Hopefully other people get some use out of it.

Needed a PDF view for a weekend project, and a lot of the existing options are fairly inactive, so me and Claude are building one. Really enjoying Claude Code + @expo.dev modules It's not production ready by any means, but I'm happy to accept issues and PRs for it: www.npmjs.com/package/@coo...

It took a little longer than we wanted, but Ignite is upgraded to Expo SDK 54! github.com/infinitered/...

🚀 iOS Simulator MCP v1.5.0 is here! Now your agent has more iOS powers. 🛠️ New Tools: open_simulator → Launch the Simulator app install_app → Install .app / .ipa bundles launch_app → Start apps by bundle ID Release notes and demos in 🧵

Been so cool to see JP work on this! It’s awesome.

I’m (not) sorry if it makes me a nerd but one of my favorite hobbies is trying out new versions of React Native and Expo while they’re in previews. @frankcalise.dev did a great write up on what’s got us excited about @expo.dev SDK 54.

We are thinking about improving the developer experience for Ignite. Something like this: github.com/infinitered/... If you're thinking about starting a new React Native project with Ignite any time soon, send me a DM and I'd love to see if this effort improves your workflow at all.

🖤❤️ RNR 342 ❤️🖤 Ignite 11: Bison 🦬 dropped a few weeks ago, so we're bringing on fan favorite Mark Rickert to talk all about it! Hear about all of Ignite's new features, patched bugs, and even the backstory of why we named it BISON! Listen now: infinite.red/react-native...

Now that I’ve used pre compiled React Native on the Expo SDK 54 beta, I find myself very impatient with any project still building RN from source lol. Spoiled so fast.

Our own @jamonholmgren joined @galaxies.dev’s popular podcast again! They covered: ✅ The New Architecture ✅ AI Tools ✅ Ignite and Reactotron ✅ SO much more! Catch the full episode here 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=H9X1...

One of my family members is learning C++ - I'm helping where I can. So far we've covered nasal demons, and the initialization gif.

College football season really reminds me that I married a woman from the Midwest.
