v0 Power Hour: Let's Build Your App

Vercel’s v0 iOS app is built with React Native, but it looks and feels like a fully native iOS product.

In this episode of React Universe On Air, we go deep into how the v0 mobile app was built: from choosing Expo and going iOS-first, to writing native modules, fixing low-level React Native issues, and upstreaming improvements back to the ecosystem. This is a hands-on engineering conversation with Fernando Rojo, Szymon Rybczak, and Oskar kwaśniewski about real trade-offs, real constraints, and what it takes to ship a polished app under real deadlines.

What we cover:
🟣 Why the v0 team chose React Native + Expo for an iOS-first app
🟣 Iterating to greatness philosophy
🟣 Going deep into native code when JavaScript isn’t enough
🟣 Fixing issues in React Native core (Yoga, modals, layout updates)
🟣 Gesture handling, WebView internals, and UI polish
🟣 Turning app-specific solutions into open-source libraries

DESCRIPTION
Barbara Lampl interviews Larysa Visengeriyeva, software engineer and "godmother of MLOps", about her new book on AI engineering and compliance. What starts as a discussion about the EU AI Act quickly reveals a deeper truth: the real challenge isn't regulatory compliance - it's fundamental engineering practices.

Larysa argues that quality AI systems require robust MLOps, comprehensive documentation, and proper data governance, whether regulation mandates it or not. Drawing from frameworks like CRISP-ML and the Machine Learning Canvas, the book provides practical checklists and methodologies for taking AI projects from prototype to production. Written partially in Ukraine during wartime, this "battle-tested" guide addresses the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders, offering a common language for building sustainable AI systems.

ABSTRACT
For the past two years Liberty Mutual has faced a challenge. How to exploit GenAI to make our 3000 engineers more productive without compromising quality, safety, or our values. Initially we created our own ChatGPT experience (LibertyGPT), rolled out GitHub CoPilot worldwide, and designed our own SDLC process. That was the easy part.

Right now we’re tackling three interrelated opportunities:
• The first is AI Engineering - how do we integrate GenAI into developer pipelines to ship better software faster?
• The second is AI Architecture - how do we infuse AI based features into new applications to better serve our customers?
• The final revolves around Agentic AI and the prospect of Digital Software Engineers - can this work and if so how?

Your organisation is most likely walking a similar path. We will share with you what we have learned to date, in terms of technologies, architectures, practises and processes. There will be no artificial hype or gushing over vendors and their platforms. This will be a ‘from the trenches’ talk where we share hard won lessons. [...]

02:16 GenAl adoption was a roller coaster
04:22 1. Learning never stops

DESCRIPTION
Maurice Naftalin and Stuart Marks discuss the second edition of "Java Generics and Collections", published 19 years after the original. The conversation explores how Java programming has evolved from Java 5 to Java 25, covering major shifts like the move toward immutability, the introduction of sequenced collections, streams, and unmodifiable collections.

They delve into critical design topics including encapsulation of collections, the anemic domain model anti-pattern, the controversial unsupported operation exception, and the challenges of null handling. The book includes new chapters on usage guidance and design retrospectives that reflect decades of accumulated wisdom about the Collections Framework.

Some native values never change, and TurboModules give you a dedicated, type-safe way to expose them to JavaScript. In this episode, Oskar Kwaśniewski shows how to add constants to a Swift TurboModule with full end-to-end type safety using React Native Codegen.

Starting from the TypeScript spec, Oskar explains why `getConstants` is treated differently by Codegen and how it generates strongly typed native interfaces. He then walks through exposing a Swift constant to Objective-C, implementing the required native methods, and comparing this approach with returning untyped dictionaries. The episode wraps up by accessing the constants from JavaScript and highlighting a caching optimization used in React Native’s own modules.

In this episode, Rudi Bauer talks with Bianca Errigo, Founder of HumanOS, about what it truly takes to build sustainable high performance in today’s organizations. They explore why sustainable performance is grounded in science rather than perks or compensation, how wellbeing directly impacts business outcomes, and why performance cannot be separated from culture, trust, and human experience at work.

Bianca shares insights on leadership responsibility, co-creating the right structures, building trust through experience, and understanding the evolving expectations of Gen Z in the workplace. This episode offers a concise look at why organizations must intentionally design for sustainable high performance or risk paying the price.

How Platform Teams Reduce Friction Without Slowing Down Delivery

In 2026, Java keeps evolving: Project Valhalla is gunning for merging its value types preview in the second half of this year; Babylon wants to incubate code reflection; Loom will probably finalize the structured concurrency API; Leyden plans to ship AOT code compilation; and Amber hopes to present JEPs on constant patterns and pattern assignments. And those are just the most progressed features - more are in the pipeline and discussed in this episode of the Inside Java Newscast.

20 Years of OSS Databases

This talk traces 20 years of open source databases, from MySQL forks to cloud native systems, and explains how AI is changing what we need from storage and queries. Watch if you want a clear view of where to run and scale your next project.

SPONSORED BY MONGODBPete Johnson, Field CTO, Artificial Intelligence at MongoDB, joins the podcast to talk about a recent OpenAI paper on the impact that AI will have on jobs and overall GDP. Pete, who reads the papers (and datasets) so you don’t have to, says that looking at AI’s impact as a job killer is a flawed metric. Instead, he and Ryan talk about how AI will be a collaborator for actual human workers, how embeddings and vectorization will move the productivity needle, and the five decisions you need to make to realize ROI on AI.&nbsp;Episode notes:If you’re curious, read the <a href="https://openai.com/index/gdpval/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OpenAI blog post</a> and <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.04374" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">paper</a> yourself.&nbsp;For those of you looking for inspiration, check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y1G9najGiI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Werner Vogel’s keynote</a> from re:Invent 2025.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mongodb.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MongoDB</a> provides a flexible and dynamic database that excels with AI data.&nbsp;Connect with Pete on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/petecj2/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>.Congrats to Populist badge winner <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/7478597/scheffs-cat" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Scheff's Cat</a> for dropping a banger of an answer on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61518284/error-non-const-static-data-member-must-be-initialized-out-of-line/61519399#61519399" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">error: non-const static data member must be initialized out of line</a>.
