And I as a mobile native developer for both android and iOS on the other hand now know to skip talking with Shopify for future jobs as I hate RN and the performance hits and non standard UI it introduces. So we both win!
The sad thing is, all* their tier 1 mobile apps are still ios/android native and are not going to be rewritten, so they still need native devs. But after this blog post native devs will be a lot harder for them to find and hire.
* except for POS for Android which apparently has been rewritten, but not yet released, in RN.
