Great piece. Agree wholeheartedly www.jamesdrandall.com/posts/the_th... "The wonder is harder to access. The sense of discovery, of figuring something out through sheer persistence and ingenuity — that’s been compressed. Not eliminated, but compressed. And something is lost in the compression"

I still love developing but the shifts that AI have brought are tectonic and are forcing me to re-evaluate my own relationship to building things

How can I take a "Founder" serious, if they've not produced ANY customers (free or paid) in the last 17 months? 5 years since inception of their company - they still have 0 clients. Now they want to throw out everything and start over, with other people's money... 🤡

Struggled the whole morning with a bug that was incredibly hard to track down. Asked Anthropic's Claude to help me debug, and after some to and fro, I came upon the issue. In this instance, AI had some enormous developer benefit. Wow. I need a coffee.

We have grown to almost 700 users in a short time but still many #Flutterdev have not heard about it it seems. Because Twitter punishes outgoing links even the official announcement by the Flutter team there did not get many reactions. If you are on reddit, some slack or Discord, please

In case you are a #Flutterdev and still haven't visited our new forum I can only highly recommend to do so there hasn't been a place for in depth Flutter discussions like this before. Forum.itsallwidgets.com

Supabase now provides a free easy-to-use cron job scheduler! Configure the job from the dashboard and set it to send an HTTP request or call a database or edge function periodically! View the history of the past jobs that it ran so that you can debug when something goes wrong!
