Vega OS announcement is a gut punch—Amazon’s locking devs into React Native 0.72 (that’s 2023 tech, while 0.82 just dropped ). Ditching Android entirely crushes the ecosystem and guts Android-exclusive features we rely in how. Feels like they’re dragging us backward.

Devices getting more powerful feels like buying bigger pants because you keep eating McDonalds. The subject of this video is the equivalent of buying two more Big Macs.
