Announcing the 2026 𝝠 Expo App Awards 🙌 The talent, the care, and the craft we see in the Expo community is staggering. There are powerful, beautiful, important apps getting built with Expo tools and services every day. The 𝝠 Expo App Awards is a celebration of the apps and the people who build them. Last year we had over 1,200 submissions and winners from big enterprises, solo devs (we hired one of them @DaehyeonMun!), and tiny startups that have grown and been acquired. The award categories are: 🏆 Expo App of the Year 🏆 Most Creative 🏆 Community's Choice 🏆 Largest Scale 🏆 Most Innovative Submission criteria is simple: if your app uses Expo you should submit it. We encourage you to explain what is special about your app in the submission form. For example, if you have unique haptics, or clever Live Activities, or a super nuanced onboarding experience please share that in your submission. Submissions begin today and go through the end of the month. Then we'll begin evaluating and announcing nominees/winners. expo.dev/awards/2026

The future is taste and judgement.

No company inspires me more than @SpaceX.

Heard a software engineer say: "my cofounder is Claude" about a project they built + shipped. I am baffled by people humanizing AI, given it's just a tool. The same way my keyboard is not my cofounder (though I could not write @Pragmatic_Eng without it!) but a means to an end

Elon Musk was asked how he handles employees who disagree with him publicly. His answer contradicts every leadership book written in the last 30 years. "I'd rather have someone who argues with me and is right than someone who agrees with me and is wrong." The room expected the diplomatic answer. That he values diverse perspectives. That healthy debate makes the team stronger. The standard CEO answer about psychological safety. He went further. He said the most dangerous person in any company is the one who agrees with you to protect their job. Because that person will let you drive the company off a cliff rather than risk being fired for telling you the cliff is there. The yes-man isn't loyal. He's selfish. He's trading the company's survival for his own comfort. He said SpaceX has a rule. If an engineer sees a problem and doesn't speak up, and the problem later causes a failure, the silence is treated as more serious than the mistake itself. The person who made the error was trying. The person who watched the error and said nothing was protecting themselves at the cost of the mission. Think about what that inverts. In most companies, the person who stays quiet and avoids conflict is rewarded with job security. At SpaceX, silence is the fireable offense and disagreement is the job requirement. Most leaders say they want honesty. Then they punish the first person who delivers it. He built a system where dishonesty through silence is the thing that gets punished. The culture didn't happen by accident. It was engineered to make agreement more dangerous than disagreement.

Everyone is focused on dramatically lowering token costs while increasing capability. AI is *underhyped* As I said on the pod, when tokens move to close to free (and/or are unmetered), your behavior changes DRAMATICALLY 99.99% of AI users haven't experienced this yet -- but they all will in the next year. THINGS ARE GONNA GET WEIRD!

Interesting trend: CTO/ Head of Eng / VPE folks at startups and mid-sized companies are... leaving / burning out. Hiring for these roles is HARD, but even after filling the role, they will often leave a few months later and take a career break And they have v good reasons

Attackers have frontier AI. Defenders need a frontier AI ecosystem—the best open and closed models, force-multiplied by a global community. During the Hugging Face incident, closed AI blocked essential forensics. An open-weight frontier model helped contain the intrusion. That’s why we created the Open Secure AI Alliance.

The Claude Security plugin for Claude Code is now available in beta. Scan your changes for vulnerabilities before you commit, or run a full scan across your codebase, all from your terminal on the Claude inference you already run.

> I don't even use the app anymore but just generate my own app to do things I really think this is where we're going. It's not AI enabling "everyone to code". It's AI enabling anyone to "assemble software by asking". We rethink the "unit of distribution" Instead of only distributing apps, you distribute small, well-built, well tested blocks that an agent can put together. For you. Yes. Personal Software. We're not there for consumer apps but we might already be for developer tools/apps. people will pay for small parts that work well together. your agents will look for them. Looking back, this is what we did with shadcn/ui. Changed the unit of distribution from a packaged component library to well-built components you assemble. Same idea. Now at a much larger scale.

Also some thing I forgot to add There's so many things now where I don't even use the app anymore but just generate my own app to do things Like WHOOP, for years I wanted to know the correlation between stuff I do and my workouts and sleep, like going to sauna, or what I eat.

"This was a massive undertaking that took well over a year." Native app development was hard, is hard, and will probably remain hard for complex apps, for good reason. AI helps with a lot of stuff, but it won't magically solve hard engineering problems, exhibit #1

Given how embarrassing this outage was for AWS (and every one of their customers), the least I’d expect is a *public* postmortem AWS HATES making postmortems public, even for global service outages like this one would be considered (only 3 public postmortems the last 4 years!)

Typo alert: Some customers saw quadrillion-dollar AWS billing estimates today. Slight miscalculation on our end (very slight 😅). We're fixing it now. No action needed on your end. Sorry for the confusion. Real question: what will you do with those trillions instead?

I got messages from concerned devs how their codebase was uploaded without their knowledge or consent via Grok CLI (from SpaceX). It seems that SpaceX sneakily uploaded this code for lots of users and customers… absolutely unacceptable IMO Trust burnt like there’s no tomorrow
