๐Ÿ“ฑYour team tired of waiting for the App Store to ship updates?

@skylight.social pushes daily @reactnative.dev.web.brid.gy updates with Expo + EAS Update.

That would be so painful! ๐Ÿ˜–

Over-the-air updates are the most important pieces of a good release flow IMO.

Stop waiting for App Store review to send out changes to your react-native apps. Use Expo updates to get changes out to users in real-time! #reactnative #expo #mobile

Whether speaking to students in @drkalyncoghill.bsky.socialโ€™s class on Hashtag Activism or folks at @aadhum-umd.bsky.social yesterday, itโ€™s always great to see the reactions when I mention that folks are building TikTok alternatives on atproto like @skylight.social ๐Ÿ–ค

Thanks to @niko.antuerp.com for chatting with me!

@skylight.social is still young; there's a lot we need to build to make it a place where creators can truly find and grow their audience ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ

But I'm incredibly thankful to have the chance to build it, and to have so many of you along for the ride ๐Ÿฅฐ

Honestly, it's pretty genius how Stripe has created markdown versions of their docs and an "Open in ChatGPT" link to make working with AI easier

You can give your coding agent a "Read docs.stripe.com/connect/auth... prompt and it will can slurp up the Stripe docs and use that as context for tasks

โ€œMusic and code have a lot in common,โ€ freeCodeCampโ€™s Jessica Wilkins on what the tech community is doing right to onboard new software engineers - This Dot Labs

It really is uncanny how often I run into engineers that are also musicians. There for sure is some kind of parallel between code and math

Teachers Are Using AI to Grade Papersโ€”While Banning Students From It Students love using AI. Teachers hate when students use AI. Yet, teachers love using AI to help grade papers.

Not surprised to read this at all. Academia needs to adapt properly to AI

On-device testing is the only way to go. It is annoying to keep your personal testing device library up to date but necessary for anyone doing mobile development professionally.
