Today is my last day at @shorebird.dev. I’ve had a great time working with the team and building some awesome tech but I’ve decided to move on to my next adventure.

Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere — I’ll still be active in the Flutter/Dart community 💙

Yes because you don’t always have control over the name with dot shorthand. I’d be fine if they just applied to enums but something like fn(.new()) is very hard to read imo. You need to look at the function signature to understand what .new() is referring to.

I’m personally not a huge fan of Dart’s new dot shorthand syntax. It makes code harder to read, there’s no lint rule to standardize one way or the other, and it just adds more complexity to a language which I love for its simplicity.

Hey, folks! The Flutter team is doing a livestream next week, which will include a Q&A. Anything you'd like to ask the engineering, DevRel, and product leads?

Questions about the roadmap, new features, the craziest place they've seen someone get Flutter running, all of these are valid topics. 😀

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."

All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

"When you see everything as an outcome — an outcome you may or may not understand, and definitely don’t understand the process behind, let alone care about — you kind of already see your workers as LLMs."

Measuring the Impact of Early-2025 AI on Experienced Open-Source Developer Productivity

A study of experienced developers found AI tools made them 19% SLOWER, not faster. Additionally, developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had helped them work 20% faster.
