I wrote a few weeks ago about how ridiculous it was for AirBnB to spend 18 months testing a new font. A 5 part series on React Native is again next-level indulgent.

Why am I not surprised engineers at Airbnb have so little to do than to write a novel about a framework?

fwiw it wasn't 18 months "testing" a new font - most of that was font development with an external partner, then implementing across many surfaces without creating bugs that affected accessibility, then testing. doing things takes time, huge surprise right?

Yeah nothing weirder than engineers writing about their experiences with different technologies.

A 5 part series. 5!!
