Good News - May 15-21

Like these weekly compilations? Support me on Ko-fi! Also, if you tip me on Ko-fi, at the end of the month I'll send you a link to all of the articles I found but didn't use each week - almost double the content!

1. Translocation of 2,000 rhinos in Africa gets underway in “one of the most audacious conservation efforts of modern times”

“The 2,000 rhinos - more than are currently found in any single wild location in Africa - represent around 12-15% of the continent’s remaining white rhino population. […] “Rhinos perform an important ecological function in the environment as a large grazing herbivore,” says Dale Wepener[….] “The protection of rhino is far more than just looking after rhino; other species that occur in the protected areas will benefit from the protection,” explains Jooste. “This will lead to an increase in diversity and result in much healthier ecosystems.”

2. Florida Corridor Buffers Effects of Climate Change on Wildlife — And People

“A massive multi-partner effort that has conserved 10 million acres for wildlife in Florida over past decades will help buffer wildlife—and people—from the effects of climate change, a new report says. […] Protecting these corridors is important for wildlife genetics, demography and connectivity […], conducting prescribed fires in the corridor can reduce the risk of more intense wildfires [… and] they can provide buffers against hurricanes and seasonal thunderstorms.”

3. Global life expectancy to increase by nearly 5 years by 2050 despite geopolitical, metabolic, and environmental threats

“Increases are expected to be largest in countries where life expectancy is lower, contributing to a convergence of increased life expectancy across geographies. The trend is largely driven by public health measures that have prevented and improved survival rates from cardiovascular diseases, COVID-19, and a range of communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases (CMNNs).”

4. Valencia has Spain’s longest urban park

“Jardin del Turia (Turia Garden) is the green spine of the City of Valencia and Spain’s (and possibly Europe’s) longest urban park stretching for a length of 8.5 kilometres [… and] the current administration plans to make Jardin del Turia Europe’s largest city green space by extending it to the sea[….] Almost all Valencia residents (97 per cent) live within 300 metres of an urban green space. […] Jardin del Turia is a true urban oasis that provides exceptional thermal comfort, with a temperature difference of up to three degrees compared to other areas of the city.”

5. This Paint Could Clean Both Itself and the Air

“When an artificial ultraviolet light source shines on [photocatalytic] paint, the nanoparticles react with pollutants to make them break down—theoretically removing them from the nearby air and preventing a discoloring buildup. [… R]esearchers developed a new photocatalytic paint that they claim works using UV rays from ordinary sunlight, making its self-cleaning properties easier to activate. They’ve also shown that they can effectively produce this paint from recycled materials [including fallen leaves].”

6. Planting Seedlings for a Cooler Rockingham

“A dedicated group of volunteers recently planted over a thousand native seedlings in Lewington Reserve [… and] re-established canopy cover to areas of the reserve to create cooling shade for the local community and provide homes for native wildlife. […] Planting lots of trees and shrubs in urban areas can help create shade and cool cities, mitigating the impacts of climate change, contributing to biodiversity conservation and building greener, more resilient communities.”

7. Sydney’s first dedicated affordable housing for trans women designed to deliver ‘positive outcomes’

“Community housing provider and charity Common Equity NSW, […] which is for people on very low to moderate incomes, prides itself on creating inclusive living and promotes the independence and well-being of people and communities […, and] will deliver the first-of-its-kind social housing in a bid to provide a safe place to live for transgender women seeking an affordable home.”

8. Rewilding: How a herd of bison reintroduced to Romania is helping ‘supercharge’ carbon removal

“170 European Bison reintroduced to Romania’s Țarcu mountains could help capture and store the carbon released by up to 84,000 average US petrol cars each year. […] By grazing a 48 square kilometre area of grassland in a wider landscape of 300 kilometres squared, they helped to capture an additional 54,000 tonnes of carbon each year. That is around 10 times the amount that would be captured by the ecosystem without the bison.”

9. World’s biggest grids could be powered by renewables, with little or no storage

“[…] 100% renewable supply can then match the load by putting surplus electricity into two kinds of distributed storage worth that [an energy expert] says are worth buying anyway – ice-storage air-conditioning and smart bidirectional charging of electric cars, and recover that energy when needed, filling the last gaps with unobtrusively flexible demand.”

10. Supporting the Long-Term Survival of Copper River Salmon and Alaska Native Traditions

“With $4.3 million in NOAA funds, the Copper River Watershed Project and The Eyak Corporation will remove fish passage barriers, opening more streams for salmon spawning and subsistence fishing. [… As part of this effort, o]ld narrow culverts that constrict water flow will be replaced with “stream simulation” culverts wide enough to fit the full stream, including its banks. They are also deep to allow contractors to place stones and other material inside to mimic a natural stream bottom.”

more jekyll & hyde alien drawings :)

assorted lore dump below the cut:

Jekylls and Hydes adapted their split forms to fill two important evolutionary niches: community, and survival. Jekylls intentionally have duller, safer appearances, and exist to signal friendliness and create social bonds. Hydes, on the other hand, have weapons built into every aspect of their form, and are adapted for fighting, fleeing, and thriving.

Hydes are shorter because some of their mass goes to creating their wings and tail. As they transform and lose height, this also splits their horns apart.

They do not have a concept of gender, instead assigning pronouns to form in their native languages (usually). 

They do, however, have a subsection of the species that can carry children (~25%) and a subsection that can contribute genetic data to the childbearer (~75%).

Multiple parents can contribute DNA to any given childbearer, similar to earthen cats, except the DNA is considered for the same child instead of a litter.

They also have no concept of sexuality. Individuals may show a preference for pairing with members of the species that can or cannot give birth, but it’s fairly rare.

Their birthing process is pretty similar to humans, with only a single child (usually) incubated within a parent’s womb for a while. There is a failsafe membrane around said womb during pregnancy that ensures form switching is not hard on the fetus.

Jekylls and Hydes do not usually form monogamous partnerships the way humans do. Jekylls, especially those who have birthed children, will usually form a small group of respectable friends who will all help parent the child. Hydes, or at least those who indulge in them enough, may find sexual partners whom they repeatedly meet up with over other, random encounters.

A child is always born in their Jekyll form, developing their Hyde form only in adolescence (human age equivalent of 10-12). Their horns begin growing in around early adolescence. They begin as two harmless nubs that over time, fuse into the full halo. The moment their halo forms coincides with the development of their Hyde side, and only when individuals transform for the first time does their horns sharpen from splitting apart. 

This milestone in one’s life is colloquially referred to as their "split."

Younger members of the species are the least adept at controlling the transformations, as they are often emotion triggered. It takes quite a few years (essentially, after an individual has gone through puberty) for one to fully control it.

Despite not technically being connected to morality, Jekylls are often viewed as the more respectable, civilized side, and Hydes as the evil, animalistic side. Much of society considers swapping into Hyde form an indulgence, if not an outright sin.

Groups of Jekylls will even react in disgust to another’s Hyde, despite all having one themselves.

Part of the reason Jekylls are seen as such is because they are sort of the “default” form of the species, with their Hyde forms only becoming prominent in adolescence (despite the emotions associated with their Hyde mentalities existing within them from birth).

Counterculture that takes pride in embracing their Hyde side exists as well, and you can find Hyde specific bars and clubs in the slummier parts of town.

Particularly for social events, Jekylls will wear elegant gloves, and it's considered impolite or inconsiderate for them to not. This is because the transformation into their Hyde will rip through the gloves as their hands are bigger and clawed, so wearing gloves signals a Jekyll’s intention to remain in their more social form.

One can easily identify whether an individual is currently a Hyde or a Jekyll, due to their vastly different appearances, but it is incredibly hard to connect an individual Jekyll to their Hyde, or vice-versa. This has given Hydes a sense of anonymity that they often choose to abuse.

It is common for Hydes to use pseudonyms while in their form, taking advantage of the anonymity.

If a transformation is to be forced, there is a transformation "potion" that can be administered to an individual to trigger a transformation between forms chemically. These are used in court cases, to treat medical conditions, as a black market drug, or, in extreme scenarios, as a form of torture.

Their bodies will almost always transform into Hyde upon death. This is because of the adrenaline spike and survival instinct that is triggered when dying. Because of this, most funeral rites involve burning the bodies or at the very least covering them up.

not otome isekai but theres this manhwa that i read, return of the 8th class magician or something like that, mc served a prince who became emperor in his first life doing atrocities in that princes name and leaves after the prince becomes emperor to "atone for his sins" but the prince-turned-emperor murders him bc hes afraid of ian's (thats the mc name) power and ian time travels.

first of all the way the manhwa includes and caricaturizes native americans is awful. theyre turned into these... black magic wielding dark shamans who collude w demons and some shit, mc walks up and takes the staff their chieftain uses after storming the place and killing him.

second of all the main character is just... bad. flat. boring. man went back in time to "atone for his sins" bc he regrets all the bloodshed and murder but on the first night upon his return he kills a man and goes "ah kindness alone cant protect anything" like bro? the man did try to assault ians mother but both she and ian are leaving that town anyways and forever out of that guys reach, who tf is he protecting by killing him?

third of all theres no depth to the side cast. characters are introduced and dont get to matter. their "development" and plotlines get introduced, dont come up again, and then suddenly get "resolved". theres a plotline about looking for a specific herb to cure a character the mc took into his family so to speak, and the search... never features on screen.

fourth of all the female characters are dogshit. theres like three, one is ians mom who is just there to be mom(TM), theres a female magician whose name i dont remember that got introduced as a cocky powerful magician only to get her ass whooped by a 12yo ian. theres the princess who was forced to hide her magical abilities by her father the emperor and yet nothing is done with her she contributes nothing to the plot the politics the magical threat only to get married off to the mc. awful. also the spelling of her name keeps changing so i cant tell what it is. my current best guess is hayley.

there are many other sins this manhwa commits such as a dogshit chosen-one mc-is-the-only-one-who-does-anything-at-all and the-emperor-is-a-terrible-parent-but-the-narrative-doesnt-acknowledge-it shaped crimes but god have mercy this manhwa is terrible.

id like to hear anyone react to it just so i can derive some entertainment from this.

This sounds like it'd be on par with those weird ass fantasy fufilment that were popular in 2013 for being power fantasies for men.

If I can find it, I'll read it for a post.

In today’s technology-first world, innovation has become the foundation of progress, especially in mobile app development. For any leading app development company in Bangalore, innovation is not just an added advantage—it is a business imperative. As India’s Silicon Valley, Bangalore fosters a highly competitive tech ecosystem, pushing companies to go beyond conventional practices and deliver transformative digital experiences. 

Bangalore’s Competitive Edge and the Need for Innovation 

Bangalore is home to an extraordinary concentration of startups, global tech firms, and IT service providers. This dense and fast-paced environment demands that companies consistently innovate or risk becoming irrelevant. In such a market, a mobile app development company cannot afford to offer just functional apps. Clients expect robust, user-friendly, and adaptive digital solutions that enhance their business outcomes. 

Mobile applications today must be scalable, flexible, and packed with forward-looking features. Whether the client is from healthcare, retail, or finance, the emphasis is now on platforms that are not only functional but also future-ready. This has made innovation a non-negotiable quality for a successful app development company in Bangalore. 

Innovation as a Continuous Process

A forward-thinking mobile application development company approaches innovation as a continuous cycle of ideation, implementation, feedback, and refinement. Agile development methodologies, combined with real-time collaboration tools, empower developers to evolve their apps rapidly in response to user needs and market shifts. 

These companies invest heavily in R&D, explore emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality, and build cloud-native applications designed for high performance and security. This iterative, user-focused approach ensures apps are not just created—but continuously improved. 

The User as the Center of Innovation 

While advanced technology plays a critical role, true innovation often stems from understanding the end-user. A leading app development company places user experience at the heart of every project. This means creating mobile applications that are intuitive, responsive, and tailored to meet the users’ real-world needs. 

Design elements such as fast loading times, clean navigation, and accessible interfaces contribute significantly to the overall success of the app. In Bangalore—where users are tech-savvy and expectations are high—apps must function seamlessly across a multitude of devices and platforms. A user-centered design philosophy ensures that the app not only attracts users but also retains them. 

Staying Ahead of Technological Trends 

The digital landscape is evolving rapidly, and staying ahead of trends is critical for long-term success. The best mobile app development company in Bangalore closely monitors global technology movements and adapts accordingly. Whether it's the rise of super apps, the integration of voice interfaces, or the growing demand for immersive AR features, early adoption gives companies a competitive edge. 

Rather than reacting to changes, innovative companies lead the way by launching pilot projects, testing new ideas, and iterating based on market feedback. This positions them not just as developers, but as strategic partners in their clients’ digital transformation journey. 

Long-Term Success Built on Innovation 

Innovation is the distinguishing factor between good and great app development. For an app development company in Bangalore, it is the driving force behind business sustainability, client satisfaction, and market leadership. The city’s thriving tech ecosystem continues to push companies to challenge norms and redefine digital experiences. 

As the digital economy expands, businesses will increasingly seek partners who can deliver meaningful innovation—not just technology. Companies that embrace change, anticipate user needs, and continuously innovate will not only lead the market—they will shape its future.

Hiring Remote Developers for Startups: Mistakes Founders Make in 2025

Introduction

The developer looked perfect on paper. But three weeks later, your sprint backlog hasn’t moved. Somewhere between onboarding and output, momentum breaks. This is the silent failure many founders face when hiring remote developers for startups!

Remote hiring isn’t broken, it’s misunderstood. Founders treat it like a shortcut. In reality, it’s a system that demands planning, structure, and smart evaluation. This blog unpacks the most common remote developer hiring mistakes. You’ll see where startups go wrong, what to watch for, and how to course-correct before it costs time or trust!

Why Startups Prefer Remote Developers in 2025?

Startups today face constant pressure to ship fast, build lean, and adapt on demand. That’s why many are hiring remote developers as their default development model.

Speed of Hiring

Traditional hiring takes months, whereas remote hiring through vetted platforms or partners can take days, only days. Startups need product velocity, but not recruitment delays!

Access to Global Talent

Founders are no longer limited to local talent pools. Remote hiring unlocks developers across regions, time zones, and tech stacks. This helps startups match niche skills like DevOps, API design, or React Native, on demand.

Budget Flexibility

Hiring full-time employees includes salaries, equity, and overhead. Remote hiring lets founders control burn rate with flexible contracts, hourly billing, or part-time capacity. This matters most in early-stage builds, where every dollar must contribute to product delivery.

Scalable Team Models

Remote developers fit into scalable engagement models. These models give founders flexibility to expand or reduce capacity as product needs change.

Startups can use:

Staff augmentation for short-term needs

Dedicated developer models for long-term build cycles

Hybrid setups of outsource remote developers and in-house team to balance leadership with outsourced execution

Common Mistakes Founders Make For Remote Hiring

Startup founders often dive into hiring remote developers without a strong hiring strategy. The urgency to build fast sometimes overrides the need for structured evaluation, onboarding, and collaboration planning.

Here are the most common mistakes and how they hurt your product velocity and code quality

Hiring Without a Clear Job Scope

Many founders post generic job briefs like “Need a backend developer for MVP.” This lack of detail results in mismatched hires who either underdeliver or waste cycles asking basic questions. Without clear responsibilities, timelines, and technical requirements, developers can’t align their output with sprint goals.

Tip: Always write a job scope that defines the project stage, stack, tech challenges, and what success looks like after 30, 60, and 90 days.

Choosing Cost Over Capability

It’s tempting to hire the cheapest developer to save early-stage cash. But low hourly rates often come with slower output, incomplete documentation, and messy code that needs refactoring later.

In 2025, realistic hourly ranges look like this:

Mid-level developer (India, Philippines): $15–$25/hr

Senior backend developer (Eastern Europe): $30–$60/hr

Specialists (DevOps, AI, Security): $50–$90/hr

Paying more for developers who deliver right the first time protects your runway and reputation. That's why hiring remote developers with expertise becomes important!

Ignoring Cultural and Timezone Fit

Founders often overlook timezone overlap and communication habits when building remote teams. But when developers work on opposite hours, daily standups fail, questions pile up, and blockers stay unresolved for days.

Tools like Slack, Jira, Loom, and Notion can support async collaboration. Still, a minimum of 4 hours daily overlap improves sprint feedback loops, code reviews, and planning calls.

Failing to Vet Technical Skills

Skipping code tests, portfolio reviews, or trial tasks is one of the biggest remote developer hiring mistakes. A great resume doesn’t always translate to great output under real deadlines.

Founders should assign trial tasks that mirror their actual tech use cases. A two-hour paid test or live coding session can reveal how well a developer handles pressure, code structure, and communication.

Underestimating Onboarding and Management

Even a great hire will fail if the onboarding is poor. When founders drop developers into Slack with no documentation, no product walkthrough, and no tool access, productivity stalls.

What to do?

Create a 1-page onboarding guide with your tech stack, repo access, sprint rules, and expected deliverables. Schedule the first sprint planning call before day one!

Real Startup Scenarios That Went Wrong

At core, remote developer hiring mistakes are about planning, process, and execution. Even with the best intentions, startups often suffer from poor execution when hiring remote developers.

These quick case snapshots show how small hiring mistakes spiral into real product risks.

Case Study 1: The Cheap Hire That Broke the Budget

A seed-stage SaaS startup hired a $12/hour backend developer from a freelance marketplace. The founder skipped technical vetting to save time, assuming the developer’s resume and past client ratings were enough.

Within four weeks, the platform was buggy. Login sessions crashed. The database schema lacked basic normalization. Their QA process exposed over 60 functional issues. A senior Laravel consultant was brought in to rebuild core modules.

In the end, the company spent 2.3x more fixing and re-coding than they would have by hiring a vetted mid-level developer at $25/hour from the start.

Case Study 2: Timezone Misalignment Killed a Launch

An eLearning startup hired two remote developers from opposite time zones one in Vietnam, one in Canada. Neither had more than 1 hour of overlap with the founder in Europe.

As feature testing dragged across three time windows, issues went unresolved for days. One major bug, flagged during staging, went untouched for 48 hours. It caused the platform to break during a live investor demo.

The team missed their planned launch window by three weeks. Investor follow-up cooled, and the founder was forced to rebuild investor trust.

The lesson? Timezone fit and availability matter just as much as technical skill.

How to Avoid These Mistakes The Pro Tips!

Most mistakes made when hiring remote developers can be prevented with a clear plan and structured process. Below are essential steps every founder should follow before adding a remote developer to their team.

Define Scope and Outcomes from Day One!

Start by writing down exactly what success looks like for the role. Define the project stage, current bottlenecks, expected deliverables, and timeline goals.

Avoid vague tasks like “optimize backend” or “fix speed.” Instead, set targets like “reduce API response time under 200ms” or “deliver mobile-first checkout flow by sprint two.” Clear scopes attract aligned developers and eliminate guesswork during execution.

Use Trusted Remote Hiring Platforms or Augmentation Partners

Working with a developer augmentation partner also gives you access to specialists, DevOps, and QA support when needed. Instead of relying on unverified freelance portals, choose platforms or firms that specialize in hiring remote developers for startups.

Look for services that:

Pre-vet developers with technical and communication assessments

Offer trial periods and replacement policies

Support timezone-matched hiring and sprint-ready onboarding

Assess Communication and Timezone Fit Early

A great developer who can’t collaborate is still a bad hire. During interviews, interviewers must test communication clarity and ask them how they report progress, handle blockers, or manage async workflows. Ensure at least 3–4 hours of overlap for daily collaboration.

Build Onboarding Around Sprint Integration

Onboarding should not just be about access. It must guide the developer into your workflow. Also, define how pull requests, standups, and retrospectives work. It helps new developers become productive within the first week, not the fourth.

Create simple documentation that explains:

Tools and repos

Coding guidelines

Communication preferences

Sprint cadence and planning structure

Why Acquaint Softtech Can Help You Get It Right?

When hiring remote developers, finding the right talent is only half the battle. The rest comes down to speed, communication, and fit. Founders who choose Acquaint reduce delays, avoid hiring guesswork, and scale confidently with people who know how to ship production-grade code.

Bottomline

Too many startups sabotage their growth by rushing into hiring remote developers without structure. Founders often skip job scoping, ignore communication fit, undervalue onboarding, and cost to hire developers, instead of capability. These mistakes multiply your time and money loss in the long run!

Remote hiring can be your biggest growth enabler when done right. It offers flexibility, scalability, and access to world-class talent. But the outcome depends entirely on how you plan, vet, and integrate those developers into your workflow.

Avoid costly hiring mistakes. Start with the right remote team today!

FAQs

What is the best way to hire remote developers for startups?

The best way to hire remote developers for startups is to define your project scope, use trusted hiring platforms or augmentation partners, and assess candidates through technical tests and communication checks. Look for timezone overlap, trial periods, and sprint-readiness from day one.

How much do remote developers cost in 2025?

In 2025, the cost to hire remote developers varies by region and skill level. On average, startups pay $15–$30 per hour for mid-level developers from regions like India or Eastern Europe, while US-based developers can range between $60–$120 per hour. Always weigh cost against communication, quality, and reliability.

What are the signs of a bad remote hire?

Poor communication, missed standups, unclear updates, and lack of proactive feedback are strong signs of a bad remote hire. Others include delivery delays, ignoring coding standards, and failing to integrate into sprint cycles. If trust, output, or responsiveness drops early, consider a replacement immediately.

Should startups hire freelancers or dedicated remote developers?

Freelancers work well for quick fixes or short-term tasks. But for scalable product development, dedicated remote developers offer better reliability, onboarding, and long-term output. Startups aiming for consistent velocity and technical ownership should always choose dedicated hires over one-off freelancers.

Optimizing React Native App Performance: Advanced Techniques for a Smooth User Experience

React Native is a powerful framework that enables developers to build high-performance cross-platform mobile applications using JavaScript and React. However, just like any mobile development platform, performance optimization is crucial—especially when building enterprise-grade or user-intensive apps.

In this article, we’ll dive deep into advanced techniques for optimizing React Native apps, ensuring a seamless, smooth, and responsive user experience. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or leading a mobile team, these insights will help you fine-tune your React Native app’s performance to meet user expectations and business goals.

Why Performance Matters in React Native Apps

In today’s app-driven economy, users expect lightning-fast experiences. A sluggish or jittery app can quickly lead to user frustration and abandonment. Research shows that:

React Native, while efficient, introduces some unique performance challenges due to its JavaScript bridge and hybrid architecture. Let’s tackle these challenges head-on with proven techniques.

1. Efficient State Management: Avoid Re-renders

One of the most common reasons for laggy interfaces in React Native is unnecessary re-renders. This can occur when state updates cascade through the component tree inefficiently.

Solution:

2. Lazy Loading and Code Splitting

As your app grows, so does its initial bundle size. Loading everything at once impacts startup performance and user experience.

Solution:

3. Minimize Use of Inline Functions and Objects

Inline functions and objects in props can lead to unnecessary renders and memory bloat.

Solution:

4. Optimize List Rendering (FlatList/SectionList)

Lists are often the backbone of mobile apps. Improper configuration of lists can easily degrade performance.

Solution:

5. Optimize and Compress Images

Images often contribute to performance bottlenecks.

Solution:

6. Minimize Bridge Usage and Reduce Overhead

The communication between JavaScript and native threads (the bridge) can become a bottleneck in complex apps.

Solution:

7. Optimize Navigation Performance

Navigation lags can ruin the user experience, especially in large apps with multiple screens.

Solution:

8. Use Hermes Engine (for Android)

Hermes is an open-source JavaScript engine optimized for React Native.

Benefits:

How to enable Hermes:

In android/app/build.gradle:

9. Avoid Memory Leaks and Unused Timers

Memory leaks degrade performance over time, often going unnoticed during development.

Solution:

jsCopy

Edit

10. Profile and Benchmark Regularly

Blind optimization is wasteful. Always measure before you optimize.

Tools:

11. Use Native Modules for Heavy Lifting

When the JavaScript thread is overburdened (animations, processing, etc.), consider offloading work to native code.

Solution:

12. Enable Proguard & Release Optimizations

Don’t skip optimizing your app for production.

Steps:

Bonus: UX-Level Optimizations

Sometimes performance is about perceived smoothness:

Final Thoughts

Optimizing a React Native app isn’t about one magical setting—it’s a series of intentional, cumulative improvements. By combining effective state management, efficient rendering, memory optimizations, and native integrations, you can elevate your app to a level that feels fast, fluid, and native.

In the era of performance-sensitive users and cutthroat competition, ensuring your React Native app runs like a dream isn’t optional—it’s essential.
