"An under-discussed topic: how the hottest software engineering job of the early 2010s is seeing a steady but ongoing decline the last few years. I'm talking about the native iOS and Android positions. Outside of Big Tech few startups/scaleups hire for this. Since 2022"

"Source to all of this is me: I talked with seveal devs at Google to confirm all of the above. There's an internal FAQ on the same explaining all of this to devs. It's all logical: monorepo is the basis of everything at Google so ofc tools need to support it. And an external tool ofc won't have this support (why would it)"

"@warpaul If you ask me it's pretty motivating to be given a task that several teams have failed to do and say it cannot be done (eg making Evernote profitable and usable) and then doing it This is the case with Evernote that never turned a profit. until Bending Spoons bought them"
