> they're basically going to be spending a ton more than they have to by switching back to multiple apps A ton more what? Money? AI costs are insignificant to a company like Spotify. Hell I've been using Astra fairly extensively at work and I've only racked up like $500 in the last month. Peanuts.

More code means more people. That's not peanuts

  The whole point of this article is that it doesn't. Or at least for the same number of people you can now have way more code.

    Is more code the right goal?
    - IshKebab 5d ago
      No. The point is that the goal (slick native apps) isn't blocked by the fact that it needs more code.
      - simonhamp 5d ago
        But if you could get slick native mobile apps with less code (i.e. higher quality abstractions), that would be better
        IshKebab 5d ago
        Well yes, but if you want native apps there's no getting around making two apps.

        You need to check out what we've been building with SuperNative - it's one codebase, but you end up with two truly native apps.

        Sounds like the wxWidgets approach. I've never seen it work, but good luck. Hard pass on the PHP though!
