Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

The Curious Case of Monorepos

Monorepos have often stigmatized as bad practice and as such something that should be avoided. Still, big companies like Facebook, AirBnB and Google are actively using monorepos to manage their projects. In the open source world, monorepos have become more popular with Babel being the most prominent example. We'll dive into why monorepos might have this bad reputation and go into where it makes sense to have monorepos, talk about their advantages and their shortcomings. We'll also look into what tooling solutions are available - especially in a JavaScript context.

How and why to sign your commits with GPG?

When a team signs their commits, it’s easy to verify the commits are actually from the team members.

If you don’t have a GPG key yet, generate one with gpg --gen-key. Enter the info at the prompt, and then type gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG to view your key info. At the line starting with sec, the string between the / and the space is your PUBLIC_KEY_ID. Note it down, and add run the following command to instruct git to use it:

git config user.signingkey PUBLIC_KEY_ID
git config gpg.program gpg
git config commit.gpgsign true

Creating your own Native Modules

Sometime when we need a specific way to interact with the phone or operator system which is various different between iOS and Android, that when we need to lean that responsibility to the OS it self.

In RN, most of the logic and UI, in the best way, must be consistent between platforms. So, In an advance level of bringing best user experience to end user, we need to create native module, that mean the leaning the logic to the Native Part. There are ton of article out there showing why and when we need to create a native module, I won't dive into explanation again. Instead, I will show you how can we create a native module that could be used in React native code. That mean, you write your Objective-C/Java code, and import and run it as a module in Javascript Code.

I will show you here the most basic way to create the most basic library, called: open https://google.com. It means, I want to open Google by using the default iOS/Android browser in a native way.
