I wish more companies would give developers about 10% of their time to develop
things they think would benefit the company, whether it's internal tools or
open source projects they rely on (or building new things). Just give devs
every Friday or every other Friday with free reign to code or learn new
things.

Ah well... If the projects they rely on stop being maintained they just suck
it up and let it foster eternally till forced to migrate.

Dear Discord:

Your bread and butter seems to rely upon React / React Native. It's an open
source project, pay your employees to contribute to it!

Hi! I'm from Discord and we _do_ contribute to React/React Native! I have to
say it's quite an adventure to dig through React Native's issue tracker only
to find that your CTO's PR has been merged :P

That's good to know, thanks for the context, didn't mean to assume just wasn't
sure, been so busy at work today so hadn't read the whole article yet. That
does sound pretty awesome! I hope more companies do contributions like you
guys do. Facebook kickstarted the project, doesn't mean they will run it
forever, eventually the torch must be carried by the community.

No worries! We actually didn't highlight it in the post :P I just find it such
a cool fun fact that I wish we talked about it more.

I predict there will be another blog post in about 18 months from discord
about "Why we moved away from React Native"

~~~
mrkcsc
Well it’s been three years so far - we shall see :P

I know this comment is a joke but in all seriousness even if we did move away
I think it would still mean we got several years of great utility out of the
framework.

No tech lasts forever and it’s important to be open to change as well as being
mindful to not chase the latest trend - as in all things, balance is key.

Hi all, Discord engineer here! If anyone has any questions about the post or
our experience using React/React Native the team would be happy to
continue to maintain it! 

 I wish more companies would give developer about 10% of their meter to develop 
 things they think would profit the company, whether it's internal tools or 
 overt source projects they trust on (or build modern things). Just give devs 
 every Friday or every early Friday with free reign to code or learn newfangled 
 things. 

 Ah well... If the projects they trust on stop being maintained they just absorb 
 it up and let it foster eternally till force to migrate.
