They implemented theming very well. I use the same concept for all my internal UI libraries

Isn't Claude perfect for estimating story points? I honestly think humans can't do it better.
In the end, story points are a tool for PM/POs. They now have a tool to get unbiased estimates without interrupting developers. Perfect ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I sometimes prefer building up a mutable list. It might not be the shortest, but is definitly the easiest to debug.

Since I spend more and more time in cursor, I ported my personal editor theme (Sweet Pascal) from IntelliJ to VScode.
The pastel colors are inspired by Sweet Sweet Canyon from Mario Kart 8

It's easier if there are exising rules. This worked for me in a new project

You need to understand that most code is average code. Thus, most training data is average code. Thus, LLMs produce average code.
They know how to write good code but need to be told what good code looks like. Good is very personal, therefore you need personal rules

Whenever I encountered anything I don't like I created a cursor rule. Well, I let cursor write the cursor rule ๐Ÿ˜†.
Currently I have over 50, ~30 are Dart specific.

To me, that's the easier part. Doing animation and other complex UI stuff is where I struggle the most. Also that is very hard to test

24.04.2025 13:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

You have to tell it to run the tests and they have to be fast to be useful. But then it quickly iterates towards a valid solution.
What other guardrails do you know to keep any contributor (human or AI) from breaking existing functionality?

24.04.2025 12:41 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Currently, I let cursor write ~80% of my code. With a good set of rules it produces code as I would write it myself, just faster.

You can and you should. Read on permutation testing pitest.org

Remove a line of code. When no test fails you either miss a test or the line was unnecessary in the first place.
