FastheDeveloper

Today was a doozy, first time working extensively with @Shopify's skia , collision detection, and game dev with @expo @reactnative, as a mobile dev that's gotten used to the conventional Mobile app dev, this took me out of my comfort zone🤗. @VadimNotJustDev inspired this build.

Literally me…weekends are for reset o

Wondering who else is excited to see The Odyssey this weekend in IMAX

TMDB was down to us morning brought I thought it was my deployment that had issue, spend 1hr debugging before I decided to check tmdb api status 😩

@unclebigbay143 For sure thats the plan, gonna start from nfc chips that solve daily routine for a start before diving into stuff that piques my curiosity. Same with an Arduino beginner set i've been eying

@Fasthecr3ator One way I'd approach it is to find a small problem in my daily routine that NFC can solve, then build around that. Your hardware projects should start with a real use case rather than the technology itself

JavaScript isn't just a frontend language. Today it powers servers (Node.js), desktop apps (Electron), mobile apps (React Native), edge functions, and even IoT devices.

@NotJust_Code Yes oo, just gotta keep learning new things 🥲

@Fasthecr3ator Now the list just keeps increasing

Backend has me spending way more time with TypeScript than React Native ever did. Didn't expect that. Anyone else?😂

@kelvinbuildss usage-limit

I'm a vibe coder, scare me with one word

@unclebigbay143 Open to ideas, honestly. I’m thinking of building something full-stack around the NFC chips and turning it into a write-up. Building in public is probably the best way to learn.

@Fasthecr3ator That's going to be fun. What are you planning to build first?

@whoistife_x Ah ahhhh😂 👨

i shared my screen today and my coworkers prolly saw my gym pictures

@CuriousHasan @SpongeOfTruth @_ZachGriff @DFWAirport All airlines need to implement live activity into their apps really, it’s an elegant solution

@SpongeOfTruth @_ZachGriff @DFWAirport I travel every week & app gets updated before boards. Also apps have live activities that show the info on your lock screen or watch

I *hate* these new flight information display boards. I first saw United roll them out. Now they're popping up at @DFWAirport. Why do we need to unnecessarily overcomplicate these things? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

@LearnSphere20 I worked on live activity recently and now I see it everywhere .

📱 GPT-Live now supports Live Activities on iOS. Enable Background conversations in Settings → Voice to use it. This will likely become the default soon.

@MayankBohra06 Issues like this are such a pain to debug. Gonna bookmark this for later

Spent part of today debugging a blank image preview in tryrehearsal.ai. The upload worked. The endpoint returned 200. The JPEG was only 7 MB. Android still showed an empty box. I kept circling the signed URL because that seemed like the obvious failure. Nope. The photo was 8160×6120, almost 50 megapixels. React Native was trying to unpack roughly 200 MB into memory and quietly giving up. I changed the backend to send a 1200px preview while keeping the original for when someone opens it. The preview went from 7 MB to 732 KB. The image finally showed up. Mostly relief, plus some annoyance that I'd spent so long debugging a perfectly healthy 200 response. Next time an image vanishes on mobile, I'm checking the pixels before I touch the URL code.

@eniola_merem Whoop whoop 🙌 🙌

I just got my first 10k impressions on a single post on LinkedIn ☺️🥳

@freeCodeCamp Live Activities: lock-screen surfaces that update in real time, no app open. iOS + Android 16, one codebase. freecodecamp.org/news/react-nat… What would you put on the lock screen?

@freeCodeCamp The demo is a working app, not snippets. Clone it, run it, watch a live activity update on both platforms: github.com/FastheDevelope…

Android 16 shipped Live Updates. iOS has had Live Activities since 16.1. One React Native codebase now drives both. Lock screen. Dynamic Island. Status bar chip.

The stack → Killed N+1 queries buffer reads from 649 to 22 → 8x faster API responses with zero dollar Redis caching → Error tracking across 3 platforms for free → Feature flags that skip App Store review Full breakdown with every line of code dev.to/fasthedevelope…

I took a client's platform from "it works on my laptop" to 100K user ready starting at about 25 dollars per month 9 infrastructure layers. Real TypeScript and SQL. Real cost math Here is what I shipped and why 🧵
