@_eseidel @LoicSharma Maybe ask an AI to generate a script that would be a dart fix, or similar?

@LoicSharma Last time I looked it was missing a `dart fix` to migrate for me. I'm too lazy to change them all by hand.
English
Have y’all migrated your Flutter apps to use Dart’s new dot shorthands feature?
Do you use dot shorthands everywhere you can? Or do you do something else?
English
@VolkertTodd It's not theoretical anymore, you probably heard about many big companies firing whole teams, and substituting them with only 1 senior dev with an AI companion... The market is awful rn for many people out there and I don't see things getting better for the vast majority of devs

@k8lovett @drcoderz @FlutterDev On the subject of Row/Column/Layout, maybe make an AI skill that is good into identifying the intent of the layout, so it can suggest how to fix it. It's reeeally easy to get into layout issues and the terminal messages aren't helpful many times.
English
@k8lovett @drcoderz @FlutterDev Honestly for me it's a memory issue... My memory... Some widgets we learn about them once, and don't use them, but then in the future they could have been helpful, but we don't even remember they exist.. Maybe an AI skill that checks for patterns and suggests alternative widget?
English
Don't worry about the 1,000 widgets you don't know yet; you’ll spend 90% of your life fighting with the same three Rows and Columns anyway 🤣 @FlutterDev #flutternoobs

@k8lovett @drcoderz @FlutterDev Don't know if this would fix this tbh, it feels like it's a normal thing to happen when we have so many options, but many are niche or rarely used in practice.

@SuprDeclarative @intellijidea Maybe disable AI features? I updated yesterday, but didn't use it yet
English
For over a decade I've relied on @intellijidea Android Studio to have a dozen projects open for as long as I wanted, no problem. Now, 2 projects open for 2 days the whole thing becomes a laggy buggy mess. Can't scroll smoothly in the editor, can't type in the terminal 🤬
Matt Carroll@SuprDeclarative
What happened to Android Studio? How do I get rid of this awful lag that happens in the code editor and the terminal? I avoided upgrading for a long time and now I get this.

Flutter is fast. Native is forever.
LinkedIn US: 237,000 native Android jobs. 6,400 React Native. 1,068 Flutter. The market has spoken.
For MVPs and internal tools? Cross-platform is fine. For streaming at scale, camera work, device-tier optimization? Native wins. Not my opinion — the production data's opinion.
English
@msomuin Most of the Flutter devs I see are dogmatic hardcore fanboys of Flutter, blindly denying everything else including native.
They just don't realize that these are just tools and pick the right one for the right job.
Either they don't understand the job or the tool.

@_eseidel @shorebirddev I never had any doubts you will see exponential growth and see all the time you invested in Flutter paying up, we can only be thankful for the amazing tech you build
English
Compounding is wild. More new paying customers for @shorebirddev this week than we used to see in a month. 📈

@imadetheseworks I think that in theory the child could "lie" about its size.. There are widgets to allow overflow, I don't remember how they work, but AFAIK a child can paint outside its size and position
English
@kevmoo I don't say it can't be useful - I say: I wish it was more useful for me.

Slava, I think you're neglecting all of the toil that most engineers live in everyday. You work at the most complex levels of a complex system. I am not surprised you find very little benefit in the AI generated bits. (Although I am curious about any experiments you've done.)
Slava Egorov@mraleph
I really wish I was in living in the same parallel universe as AI slop wankers and could just spawn a freaking agent per item of my backlog... And not have to rm -rf the produced garbage later.

@brendanchatt You said it's top of the hill, rolling down, I don't get it lol
English
2026 the year of Flutter. Flutter was a great idea with aspirations needing ridiculous resources to achieve. Thanks to November 2025 and following in AI I think we may be nearing the top of the hill to roll down
Kilian Schulte 💙@schultek_dev
The Flutter 2026 Roadmap is out. 💙 Happy to confirm that I will be collaborating more closely with the Flutter and Dart teams this year on Jaspr, Dart Web and more... 🔥

@VasiliyZukanov Depends, what do you want to do with your libs? If you want be able to call Kotlin code from Flutter, than Plugins is the way to go... If you want to design KMP visual components, and show them on screen using Flutter, than it would be a PlatformView, but they have bad performanc
English
Anyone knows if I can build Kotlin Multiplatform lib for Flutter, in any way?
English
@bernaferrari @mikitahimpel @viktorlidholt @linear (maybe there are new modules that have been made in Flutter since I left, but I doubt it bc the leader of the investments app is a big promoter of KMP)
English
@bernaferrari @mikitahimpel @viktorlidholt @linear Well, kinda... The Sotck Market part of the investments app is a Flutter "add-to-app" module, sharing code with the stock trading app.
It was an interesting challenge for my team at the time. The offshore part is also Flutter, but from another team. The rest is native.

Flutter has such incredible momentum right now. 🎯 Just to name a few things that are happening:
1️⃣ Toyota is building a fully fledged 3D game engine in Dart.
2️⃣ Xiaomi is rewriting all its core system apps in Flutter.
3️⃣ India's largest bank, SBI YONO, is moving its app to Flutter.
English
@mikitahimpel @viktorlidholt @linear Flutter is a tool, having good UI is a design decision, which is tied to the luck of whomever is hired for doing the design for a given company
English
@viktorlidholt Show me at least one Flutter app with a truly good UI. Like, at a @linear level.
English
@bernaferrari @mikitahimpel @viktorlidholt @linear For BTG, only BTG Trader and the BTG Banking for PME (Small and medium businesses) is made in Flutter.
English
@mikitahimpel @viktorlidholt @linear I've never used linear app, but there is Binance, Bible, Nubank and BTG. I can't take screenshots because app won't allow, but check the Nubank website. 100m clients and pure Flutter.
