Hi everyone, Seb and Jan here 👋!

This week, the React Compiler in Rust is rolling out, and early adopters have already reported significant speedups.

React Native 0.86 finally came out with edge-to-edge fixes in core. It’s retro-compatible, and Expo SDK 56 should be able to upgrade.

Let's dive in!

    Ship AI generated code safely with Meticulous.

    Claude writes your code. Claude reviews your code. Claude fixes the review comments. And somehow, you're the one getting paged at 2am when it breaks in prod.

    Fortunately, top AI-driven teams like Dropbox, Notion, LaunchDarkly, and Wiz rely on Meticulous to run 1000s of e2e UI tests autonomously, covering every user flow, edge case, role and permutation. Built by ex-Palantir engineers, Meticulous gives you near-exhaustive coverage in weeks, without any developer effort. 

    It works like magic in the background:

    • Near-exhaustive coverage on every test run
    • No test creation
    • No maintenance (seriously)
    • Zero flakes (built on a deterministic browser)

    Check it out - and see why one engineering leader at Dropbox said that “once we started using Meticulous, we couldn’t imagine working without it.”

      Make your logs queryable, not just readable

      Make your logs queryable, not just readable

      console.log("here")doesn't cut it in production. Structured logs do.

      Use this tutorial to connect LogTape + Sentry and make every log searchable, queryable, and connected to your traces. When something breaks, you'll get the full picture: log events, error context, and Session Replay, all linked by trace ID.

      • Filter by user ID, order ID, or any custom field
      • Attach context once, inherit it everywhere
      • Alert when log patterns spike before users notice

      The new React Native release is out! This time, there are no major features or changes. It’s focused on fixes and stability improvements. Although it might not seem that exciting, the good news is that there are no breaking changes, which should make upgrading that much easier. Especially, with all the AI tools that can assist in it. 😉

      Here are the highlights:

      • The React Native repository has moved to the /react GitHub org under the React Foundation, alongside other core projects. It’s a major step toward a more independent foundation focused on stewarding React’s future.
      • Comprehensive edge-to-edge support on Android 15+.
      • Performance tracing improvements in React Native DevTools.
