Large-Scale React Native Development in the Age of AI

AI is transforming the global software industry, enabling developers to become more productive than ever before. Large engineering organizations must now adapt to leverage these opportunities and keep pace with this evolution .For engineering leaders, this transformation presents both opportunities and challenges. The shift to AI-assisted development requires thoughtful consideration to accelerate quality, productivity and collaboration.

As AI accelerates projects, we're likely to see a shift toward more product complexity and larger codebases rather than simply faster delivery. This is a pivotal moment for individual developers and organizations to share their experience going through this major paradigm shift.

Drawing from personal experience and Hinge Health's journey as a large React Native team, this talk presents practical strategies for managing the transition to AI-assisted development in a large engineering organization. We'll explore how AI is transforming our product development pipeline through changes in developer productivity and satisfaction, CI, technical writing, project planning, and tooling to handle growing codebase complexity.
