I'm under the impression, in Udacity's case especially, that part of the problem stems from asking native engineers to use a language and ecosystem that they're not used to working with, and then trying to get them to integrate RN code into an established, brownfield native codebase.

As a sole dev in a 3-person startup, I’ve managed to build a pretty large app with React Native, having zero prior native experience (although, that’s not to say that I haven’t had to learn a _lot_ about Xcode!)

Isn't this just the same as startups who hire engineers and "compensate" with equity and don't pay salaries?

Had quite some trouble pushing this afternoon. Hope it gets resolved soon.

Training budget for confs/courses/books is a big one for me, it shows that a company is invested in you and helping you further your career.

Another one is relaxed working hours and having a culture of trust with regards to when you're actually in the office. It shouldn't be a big deal if I need to leave early one day, or if I decide to do reduced hours but work flat out during the time I'm in the office, as long as the work gets done - who cares when?

I really disagree that it's a "waste of developer time" to use React for projects like this.

`npm install next react react-dom` takes an insignificant amount of time and gives you an extremely efficient developer experience immediately, with automatic code splitting, server side rendering and great modern CSS support. Compared to the amount of time I've spent over the years fiddling with gulp/grunt configuration files for "static websites", it's a no brainer for developers who are already productive in React.

React Native. Write the React we all know and love, be supported by a huge ecosystem and community, and leverage the power of OS level UI components and libraries whilst enjoying the ease of writing in JS. It’s making the production of a truly native-feel app completely painless and with little learning curve for an existing React/JS developer

Cool initiative, would be great to see an "eject" command similar to what CRA provides so that the user can expose all of the configs if they wish.
