Here's how our developer tooling allows us to ship 100+ features per year with a team of 9. I’ll cover 🧵 - Our monorepo - One-command local build - Shared multi-platform code base - CI - Multiple staging environments - Fast deployment & easy rollback

Our development environment is central to how we work, not just for engineering, but for *everyone*, in every function. Not only are all of our apps in code, but so is our website, blog posts, emails, marketing assets, etc. Git is the common language we speak across the whole company.

Every person, from me, to our growth specialist, to our designer, is working directly in code: testing & reviewing things locally, making changes, and shipping.

How do we enable this? With a monorepo. All of the code for our core product, including web, iOS, Android, backend code, k8s config, etc. all lives in a single repo. This makes setup easy, and it gives us versioning & code review for changes across the entire stack. It also makes testing easier.

We are obsessed with making our local development environment work with only a single command -- including loading test data. We use Bazel for our builds, and all of our configuration is code, checked into git. This makes getting started fast and keeps everyone's dev env moving in sync as our infrastructure evolves.

It's a ton of work to set this all up, and ensure that *everything* we do works in both production and development environments (esp. with AI!), but it's worth it.

We share a single code base across all client-side platforms (web, iOS, and Android). All of our business logic is in Typescript and separated from UI code with clear internal APIs. 90%+ of our business logic is shared across all platforms. We use React Native on iOS, and drop down to native only when we have to.
