AI is changing how we learn. Models are getting remarkably good. AI tools jumped from #5 to #4 in learning methods this year, and I expect them to keep climbing. Wouldn't surprise me to see AI in the top 2 by next year.

The barrier to entry is lower than ever. AI-powered engineers and tech-savvy people can start by creating an app first, then dig deeper into how everything works. But the fundamentals still matter. AI gets you moving fast, but understanding the basics is what keeps you building with confidence long-term.

This shift will reshape the entire resource ecosystem. Documentation, blogs, and videos will increasingly need to be more precise and well-structured, not just for humans, but for agent consumption too. And I also expect more resources about how to use AI effectively to build apps.

As a community, I think React Native is uniquely positioned to embrace this AI-powered era. It's the best framework to build with AI. As more AI-first builders adopt React Native, the demand for high-quality, human and agent-friendly resources will continue to grow.
The future of React Native is bright. I'm excited to keep contributing and help power the next generation of builders.
