basepurpose··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
if native became easier to tackle with coding agents, react native would have been even more easier to scale. this decision doesn't sit well with me.
basepurpose··on Ask HN: What difficulties have you encountered when obtaining AI information?
tbh, i don't want to keep up now. if it's that special, it will reach me, i'll know about it. the extreme hype around gen ai over the past 3-4 years kind of overdid it for me, it made me tired. i did want to once be at the top, follow twitter threas, newsletters. now i want what works. claude code for work, claude web for general tasks, chatgpt periodically when i want it to do some research. that's it. periodically i get to know a about a new advancement, i give it a try, if it sticks, cool, if it doesn't cool. i keep moving ahead.

vibe coding in my understanding is losing/confusing the mental model of your codebase, you don't know what is what and what is where. i haven't found a term to define "competently coding with ai as the interface".

i don't understand why do competent people need to mention that they vibe coded something.
