My patience building for native platforms is running thin. Just spent the entire day debugging a build failure only to realise it was caused by the space in my root folder name. And the gods of native development never bothered to document this little caveat somewhere.
You never get bullshits like this building for the web. Web is easy, because nobody puts unnecessary bullshit in your way to trip you up.
But on the bright side, I guess I now know one gotcha of native development and I can lord it over junior devs (they say it's required to be considered a senior dev 😈).
Nah mate, it’s just you know web gotchas already. And another thing is that most web tools are open source so gotchas got fixed by annoyed people while for native you have to wait for the vendor to do that.
The biggest gripe with native is how much their frameworks suck compared to web. SwiftUI is kinda step in the right direction but it is still way harder than react.
