@luke_pighetti I have the same problem, any workarounds?

refusal to trigger flutter hot reload on file save looks pretty dumb now that hot reload is totally broken for agentic coding workflows

Asked Claude to look into fixing a Riverpod issue. It just told me to get @remi_rousselet to fix it 😂

Better programmer: Codex Easier to work with: Claude

Unpopular Opinion: We aren't building the future 10x faster with AI. We are just generating legacy code 10x faster. Everyone is currently bragging about developer velocity. "I built this entire backend in a weekend!" "AI wrote 80% of my codebase!" But here is the reality check we are ignoring: Code is a liability, not an asset. If an AI tool spits out 1,000 lines of functional boilerplate in five seconds, that is still 1,000 lines that a human being has to read, review, secure, and maintain when the dependencies inevitably break next year. We are treating code generation like a pure productivity win, but we are optimizing for the wrong metric. The bottleneck in software engineering was never how fast we could type. The bottleneck has always been comprehension, architecture, and maintenance. If we don't shift our focus from "generation speed" to "architectural sanity," the tech debt of the next five years is going to be an absolute, unmaintainable nightmare.

@imadetheseworks THE FLUTTER POLICE HAVE BEEN ALERTED

don't tell anyone #flutterdev

@precious_tagy Flutter out-of-the-box is 90% capable of making a good desktop app, but the missing 10% is pretty painful

Why is Electron still used for AI apps over Flutter

I find staring at AI coding agents weirdly compulsive. Is it just me? Feels a bit like doomscrolling. Doomcoding? I could be getting on with something else, but instead I’m just watching Claude read files.

Flutter's new guidelines on AI-generated code "Unmodified AI output generally does not meet [the Flutter project’s] standards." I don't think reviewers have been having fun... #diff-e466373eea316be4002f65f944b58b63276dc534ee0b99e309c0a9a60ad756cd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/flutter/flutte…

More fun with Claude + Flutter widget preview

@headinthebox There's been a bug open for 6 months for this, I would love to know how it's still a thing: github.com/anthropics/cla… @amorriscode @bcherny?

Fuck! it happened again "Error during compaction: Error: Conversation too long. Press esc twice to go up a few messages and try again" This is clown town Claude Code.

@k8lovett @mickrich384 @imadetheseworks I think this is the one: github.com/flutter/flutte…

@mickrich384 @imadetheseworks Is there an issue for this one?

unless you are building your app in #flutter 🥀

@luke_pighetti Asked my partner which model we were cooking curry with the other day. The future is weird.

claude and i baked a loaf of bread!

@KostaMilov65517 The UI is a macOS Flutter app

@tomgilder Guessing the UI is a video thing? Or how do u have a CC window pop out like that?

Gave Claude the ability to preview my Flutter widgets. Fun.

@OmarElhassani99 x.com/tomgilder/stat…

@tomgilder Cool , how you did that ?

@jake_researcher x.com/tomgilder/stat…

@tomgilder This is clever! Are you using a custom MCP server or rendering to a local preview?

@ASalvadorini @ulusoyapps

@ulusoyapps @tomgilder Look who's alive 🙏😇😅

@ulusoyapps Thank you! Flutter macOS app rendering Claude Code + MCP + headless Flutter engine magic 🪄

@tomgilder What!!! How 🤩 and welcome back Tom! You are certainly missed!
