A personal retrospective of being a maintainer for React Native for the past 4 years.

4 years as a React Native OSS maintainer: a retrospective

Why writing this, and why now? In January 2018 I started my journey as a maintainer of the React Native (RN) open source repo — it is the longest role I’ve ever kept going in my professional career, in a way — and I think now, at the 4 years mark, it is a very good time for me to pause, and force myself to think about how things have changed since then.

How did I become a maintainer? After a big burnout with react-navigation that led me to learn how to correctly interact with Open Source Software (OSS), I was starting to interact with OSS again by being a good citizen in the RN repository.

This is kind of a blogpost about my experience of diving deep to improve some timings for an iOS React Native app

Improving times for both iOS build and CI for a React Native app

Intro

Hello there.

So, if you are here you probably saw my previous tweet where I asked for tips & tricks on improving the timing on an iOS/React Native app build time.

What will follow was how I mixed those suggestions + some good old GoogleSearch-fu + me deep diving on this for ~2 days.
