YOLO Releases Considered Harmful
summary
Argues that platform realities, not ideology, drive mobile velocity: compiled apps mean no rollback on iTunes, users delay updates, app-store review and certificates add days. React Native is framed as sometimes useful but often a poor fix for real problems. Gives concrete fixes: invest in CI, scripted builds, linting and tests, and staged deployments where available — staged rollouts on Google Play — and measures success with product metrics — Open Sesame: user success rate & support volume — citing broken Gmail, Nike Fuel and Duolingo as costly failures.
