    This week’s episode is a quieter one on the news front - but a big one for reflections.

    088 - 2025 in React Native: The Good, the Overhyped, and the Lessons Learned

    2025 is coming to an end - and instead of another release recap, this episode takes a step back. In this year-in-review, I reflect on what actually mattered in React Native in 2025: the shifts that changed how we build apps, what was overhyped, what quietly became important, and the lessons I’m taking into 2026. This is a calm, opinionated look at the year - from the perspective of someone building apps, teaching developers, and navigating a fast-moving ecosystem. 🧭 Topics in this episode 🔍 The big picture What kind of year 2025 really was for React NativeStability vs innovation: where the ecosystem landedWhy this year felt different from previous “big” RN years ⚛️ What actually mattered in 2025 Changes that genuinely affected day-to-day developmentWhere complexity moved (and where it didn’t)What turned out to be worth learning - and what wasn’t 📉 Overhyped vs underhyped Things that got more attention than they deservedTools and ideas that quietly proved their valueHow hype cycles affected developer decision-making 🧠 Personal lessons from the year What I underestimatedMistakes I wouldn’t repeatHow my approach to building, teaching, and content changed 🔮 Looking ahead to 2026 What I’m doubling down onWhat I’m deliberately saying “no” toAreas I’m curious about - but still skeptical 💬 Join the conversation What was your biggest takeaway from 2025? What do you want to leave behind - and what are you taking into 2026? Let me know on X / LinkedIn or in the YouTube comments. Thanks for listening - and see you in 2026 👋
