YOLO Releases Considered Harmful – Cate Huston | The Lead Developer UK 2017
Organisations often worry about their mobile teams. Sometimes they are a bit separate. There's often this inexplicable hostility to mentions of "React Native". Why do bug fixes take so long to get to production, and what are all these certificates for, anyway?
In this talk we'll cover the realities of shipping compiled code, the woes of the app stores, and the infrastructure challenges we haven't figured out yet. You'll leave with a better understanding of the realities your mobile teams may be struggling with, and some strategies for how to help them - and your organisation - build an effective mobile team that ships regularly. And yes, you'll finally understand the React Native argument, too.
