Setting up React Native on Apple Silicon MacBook Air M2

-

Starting point was following the guide here:

https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup


for installing ruby I chose to use chruby to manage the version.

however when creating a new project I was getting ruby version error


ok lets install ruby 2.7.5


I was now getting build errors when trying to install ruby


the trick was to add "-- --enable-shared"

ruby-install ruby 2.7.5 -- --enable-shared

Building a Scalable Test Automation Framework for Large Applications: TypeScript, Playwright, Screenplay & Serenity BDD

-
Testing large, complex web applications is a monumental challenge. As applications grow, so does the test suite. Traditional test automation frameworks, often built on the Page Object Model (POM), can become brittle, hard to maintain, and difficult for non-technical stakeholders to understand. What if we could build a framework that was not only robust and scalable but also produced living documentation that the entire team—from developers to business analysts—could use? In this post, we'll build a production-grade test automation framework from the ground up. We'll combine the power of modern tools and patterns to create a solution that is maintainable, readable, and ready for the demands of large-scale applications.

A Deep Dive into GitHub's Engineering System Success Playbook

-
In the fast-paced world of software development, engineering teams are the engine driving business innovation and success. But how do you ensure this engine is running at peak performance? GitHub's new Engineering System Success Playbook (ESSP) offers a comprehensive framework designed to help organizations measure and improve their engineering performance, leading to better business outcomes. This playbook isn't just about writing code faster; it’s a holistic guide that emphasizes the synergy between quality, velocity, and developer happiness. By adopting a systems thinking approach, the ESSP helps teams identify bottlenecks, implement meaningful changes, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. The Core Philosophy: Four Zones of Success Inspired by leading industry frameworks like SPACE, DORA, and DevEx, the playbook introduces a layered system of four "foundational zones" that underpin engineering excellence. Developer H...

Mastering Route-Centric Layouts with TanStack Router

-
In the world of modern web development, the complexity of our React applications often hinges on one critical piece: routing. How we handle different page layouts—like a main app layout with a sidebar, a simple public layout for login pages, or a full-screen marketing layout—can make or break our codebase's maintainability. For years, we've wrestled with conditional rendering in a top-level App component. We'd inspect location.pathname and play a game of "which layout do I render?", leading to brittle, non-colocated logic. Today, we're going to build a production-grade application that solves this problem elegantly using TanStack Router . We'll leverage its powerful, type-safe, route-centric approach to create clean, scalable layouts.
