React Native: New Age Hack or Stone Age Tool?
summary
Claims that React Native makes someone a mobile developer in 15 minutes to a mobile developer, highlights real wins like a shared codebase for iOS and Android, and shows concrete failures: a game built with lots of animation that suffers poor performance with heavy animation and forces writing bridges so teams need to write native bridges and learn Swift or Kotlin; recommends choosing React Native for quick cross‑platform UI but switching to Swift/Kotlin when performance, platform APIs, or long‑term maintenance matter.
