The eggs I buy in my supermarket don't have literally crap on them, but it isn't uncommon that they have bit of dirt or hay/grass on them, and those are bought from a mainstream supermarket chain. I do realize they obviously do a quick cleaning pass regardless, just wanted to clarify that many eggs aren't pristine when bought :)
Rich people can invest relatively small amounts in hundreds, if not thousands of startups through preferentially treated retirement funds and pay no (or little) tax on the ones that make it big.
This is what has made it so easy to secure funding in the US.
Should Europe do the same? There's definitely an ethical dilemma in making the rich, richer for the sake of innovation.
>There's definitely an ethical dilemma in making the rich, richer for the sake of innovation.
What do you mean? The European rich have always been getting richer via inheritance regardless of innovation. That's a monetary and legal policy hack that's been in place for decades/centuries here which is how the richest families are centuries old.
Investing in innovation instead would be a much needed breath of fresh air and give current generation of youth some skin in the game instead of a defetist mentality that there's no point in working hard because the zero sum game is rigged. So I don't get your point.
We must be buying different things if you think Amazon is cheap in the EU.
I find almost everything can be had cheaper elsewhere these days, except the Chinese junk like you find on Temu, the enshitification has well and truly sunk in.
I always paste products I find right back into Google and more often than not find them cheaper elsewhere
I guess people just buy different stuff and have different experiences then.
The last physical thing I bought on Amazon was a Brita glass carafe.
44.99€
The cheapest I can find elsewhere is 49.9O€ with 4.99€ of shipping.
Otherwise it's mostly 54.99€ and it's even 59.90€ on Brita's own store.
The other physical stuff in my order history of the last three months are orders made for relatives because they found that it was cheaper on Amazon and wanted to take advantage of my Premium subscription.
It's probably within an order of magnitude but it's really just hobbyists, casuals and indies using it.
If you compare it to React Native there probably are more Flutter apps published but if you drill down into the top 1000 on each app store you would be lucky to find more than a few in most countries using Flutter whereas React Native definitely makes up more than 10%, maybe as high as 30% of non-game apps. I know on my phone I have zero Flutter based apps installed and almost 20% use React Native in some way.
Source: I'm an app developer so I keep an eye on these things.
Bolt Food is on the showcase page, not Bolt itself, which would be odd not to add both if indeed they were both RN, so seems like one is RN and the other is not, which is basically what the above commenter was saying initially. None of what you said really invalidates their point, because again if you search for RN jobs for Bolt, why would you not also assume it's for the one on the showcase, ie, Bolt Food? Bolt is the company name after all, not just the app name.
You were right. After your comment, I went back to my friend at Bolt and asked again. Bolt Food is on RN, Bolt is native. The conversation we had about Flutter back then was about his other project and not Bolt Food.
Since when was Flutter the "go-to solution for cross-platform development"?
Maybe for hobbyists but in the corporate space it's still React Native.
The problem with Flutter, and this extends even further with KMP is that the scope of your skills is limited to making mobile apps whereas with React Native you are learning and using skills that can apply to a complete stack.
KMP is even worse in this regard as they expect you to build two frontends (yes I'm aware of compose multi platform but it's a separate product entirely) so unless you have some crazy business logic that Dart or JavaScript can't handle you're sacrificing the largest benefit in cross platform app development for the smallest.
As for whether Google are replacing Flutter I think they made a massive PR goof with the launch and have introduced a lot of uncertainty. Possibly it's their long term plan but currently it's just a tiny niche product.
This old myth is as old as the RN vs Flutter debate itself and I'm willing to help bust it again.
The simple answer is that when people have a problem or question about Flutter they simply key in Flutter. With RN they can ask about React, JavaScript, typescript, RN itself or one of the many components you use to make an app as it's the sum of a lot more parts.
So if Flutter didn't get more searches here I would be surprised and concerned.
The longer answer I'll just tease but suffice to say it's more complex than above.
It can come down to lots of things including the competency/experience of developers and maturity. As an experienced developer I might need to search for or ask about what I'm doing maybe 2 times a week. For someone getting started that might be that many times an hour. If you just looked at the two of us as a blob it might seem that whatever the other is using is more popular despite it being 50/50.
So yeah, number of searches or stack overflow questions or Reddit posts or whatever it is does not equal popularity.
Reworded, your claim is that RN developers are getting smarter over time, need to search less, and that new developers don't have questions, they just figure it out .. and some mix of reasons like this are why the RN searches are going down.
I imagine I am having a harder time swallowing this logic than you are looking at raw numbers.
No. Read the simple form of my response, the first part.
What you said was an example of one factor as to why it's more complex than the simple form for people who really want to dig down deep but on its own it's not an answer
Hardly. Performance lags. Even after the new rendering engine. Try compiling and then running desk top samples (a mail client, a finance management tool) on macOs and check the amount of jank in animations.
Text fields are whole another story. They feel alien in UX on every platform.
I can live with that but performance is a deal breaker.
Eh, I was recently contracted onto a native macOS team (Swift), the company had an adjacent desktop team who opted to use Flutter, they had a lot of problems and ended up dropping the project. I don't know the details but there was a lot of weird edge cases they ran into on desktop. They had a mobile app partially in Flutter (different team again) which seemed to be OK, however.
The problem with Flutter is that it's a UI framework that relies on a single main thread. If you put something heavy there, you'll get lag. In contrast, other languages like SwiftUI let you easily spawn threads. Flutter dismisses this as outdated and instead promotes an isolated model with completely separate memory... for reasons.
> The problem with Flutter, and this extends even further with KMP is that the scope of your skills is limited to making mobile apps whereas with React Native you are learning and using skills that can apply to a complete stack.
I mean, Kotlin on the backend is quite good in my experience, I would say you can definitely run a full stack off of it.
It gets harder if you want to retrofit it to an older app using older third party libraries that have no or limited support. You have to pick through everything to work out what's playing up.
> There is also no practical way to build on React Native without using a metric ton of third party libraries
As an author of a few quite large React Native apps I have to disagree. There's a few key ones and apart from that it's down to maturity. Immature developers will always reach for whatever crutch they can find first. Doesn't matter what language.
The same immaturity shows up in their attempt to recreate (a not so great) wheel with their Phonegap/Cordova clone.
I would seriously be embarrassed about an article like this if it was my business.
