You can dramatically speed up your mobile builds by enabling Expo’s EAS Build cache.

With the build cache turned on, Expo reuses previously compiled native code, meaning your subsequent builds can be 2×–5× faster — especially for Android.

To enable it, add this to your eas.json:

"𝗰𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲": 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 under your build profile.

Faster builds = faster iteration = more productivity.

I have been using Claude Code for 2 months now, and i'm now at a level where i'm able to produce production ready components from designs. I couldn't find the right component in Shadecn so I created and tweaked my own side nav bar, and the way of how I wish this experience would feel, you can see on the left my idea of build, and on the right the execution after a couple prompts. It's like the smallest thing ever, but basically, I hate jumpy dashboard when one minimizes it, in this example you get to see how smoothly it closes. No layout jumps, or random logo flashes, or jumpy-ness. If you care about little details like this, you can definitely ship quality-grade products with AI.

My fear is shipping AI-Slop, so I spend a good amount of times (and tokens) until i'm happy with what I see.

Most mobile apps don’t become hard to maintain because of scale.

They become hard to maintain because early architecture decisions were made for speed, not clarity.

At first, it works fine.

But over time: • Business logic starts leaking into UI layers • State becomes unpredictable across screens • And small changes start touching unrelated parts of the app

What looked like “flexible architecture” slowly turns into invisible coupling everywhere.

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking about while building production mobile systems.
