rseroter · x · 2026-10-03
Richard Seroter's daily reading list (#880) rounds up notable pieces:
- React Native solved a problem nobody had: if you want native, don't use a proxy; Flutter makes sense for owned rendering experiences.
- Meta's next big AI bet is enterprise, with trust as the biggest hurdle — everyone selling AI is also selling trustworthiness with your data.
- Spanner Omni is now GA: a distributed, multi-model database deployable anywhere, possibly the highest-performing database ever created.
- Can you SEO your way into an AI agent's recommendation? Data-driven analysis with surprising findings.
- How AI coding assistants change engineering work over time, echoing findings inside Google.
- Devs are coding faster, but code reviews are eating the gains; plus why redesign doesn't happen enough.
A curated list aimed at architects and engineering leaders.
