  • They’re likely using react native (Microsoft has pretty much gone all in on react for new ui things). It’s not as crazy as it sounds, the majority of cross platform mobile apps use react native.

    It’s important to note that it’s not a web browser that’s rendering the ui. The way it works is that react native provides a way for js logic to define the ui declaratively (kinda like HTML), then react native calls platform native components to do the actual rendering. So you declare <Button> and what comes out on the other end is a real, genuine windows-provided button.










  • I’ve used this specific bot. I work with a lot of junior engineers so I was hoping it would be able to catch a lot of the basics for me so we could ultimately reduce the back and forth in code reviews.

    It just doesn’t get enough context from the rest of the repo to be super useful. It would often do this kind of thing where it would just speed garbage. I guess you could get it to be better by configuring it with a good pre prompt, but I don’t know if that would be worth the effort.
