TikTok just released its React Native killer…

Im gonna learn this ASAP. After learning the framework used by the 100x engineers at TikTok I'll easily get a job there as a janitor.

finally now tiktok can have 500 ads with perfect performance

Now this is how we make it difficult for AI to catch up
step 1: create a Javascript framework
step 2: create a different Javascript framework with new runtime errors
step 3: run step 1 and 2 continuously
😈😈😈

TikTok was the last company I expected to release a js framework.

I start studying Flutter to become a mobile application developer. Fireship at 0.0001 seconds:

Day without new JS framework is a holiday

4:09 It's so wholesome how he still uses "Hi Mom" for his demos. I'm sure Firemom is still proudly watching his videos from Heaven ♥

Can't wait for the Instagram Reels to release Lynx killer

I've been programming for well over 20 years and every time I try to get into frontend development there's 5 new frameworks and the ones I tried using last time are obsolete. I'll stick to backend, thank you.

Took a break from AI news to talk about TokTik's new javascript library

The reason why your WSL didn't work is because in windows, WSL does not share the same local ip as your main connection, instead, what you needed to do, is port forward the specific port from your computer to the WSL ip using a powershell command, so any traffic to your computer from that port would be handled by WSL instead

Never did I think I would read this title

Honestly, I'm not mad. Adding native CSS is a big win. I shimmed it into React Native in one hell of a jank way, and I'm regretting it heavily. But I also don't want to move to CSS-In-JS. So, I'm glad for this. I hope it takes off.

Lynx is a bit better since devs do not have to install 15+ JSX components like View, Text, Button. You can just type <text> and boom! You just created a <p>. . . It is all. . .

Thanks fireship - I'm putting experience with Lynx on my portfolio

To my understanding, wsl works in a semi isolated environment, so something like the lynx app to view is probably serving on the internal wsl ip and not your pcs local network ip. There is some trick you can do to get around this but haven’t done it in years

Looks like gonna need to study software engineering again after i finish my software engineering degree FFS
