"new architecture" if you're unaware - this app is built with React Native, and recently the RN team basically rebuilt React Native from scratch to make it faster and correct-er. result should be this app is faster, especially on low-end Android devices
okay a new build is available! come test it out!
this is an experimental version of the app which enables the react native new architecture, which should be smoother and more performant. come help us catch bugs :)

first time using oai models for coding. it's so refreshing to ask it simple questions and for it to reply immediately rather than using 300 tool calls and taking 30 minutes
“.. I asked a few AI researchers whether they could name any other real-world software that scales so poorly. None of them could think of any.

these ai researchers have clearly never heard of Ruby on Rails
we're making big moves to make the app better and more performant. soon, we'll be enabling the react native new architecture. want to help us test it out? you now can!

today is a celebration of the US narrowly escaping British tyranny. unfortunately there’s no counterfactual of what would’ve happened if the British maintained territory in north america but we can only assume it would’ve been terrible
underrated part of atproto is most of the time you don’t have to directly talk to other people’s (possibly badly made) servers, it’s all mediated via records
Oh dear lord, I knew it was bad, but didn't know it was this bad: hackers.pub/@fedify/2026...
(I've mostly just contributed to activitypub projects that already existed, so didn't usually need to experience these specific pains)
