Another "What I Learned This Week," featuring an update to Flutter's contribution guidelines and a tip on how to generate captions for videos (since I happened to learn that one this week, too). ๐
Does anyone have a hotel recommendation for Fluttercon in Orlando? The convention center is huge, and it looks like you could stay at one of its "official" hotels and still have a twenty minute walk.
Just listened to Espresso, and now I understand that Diego SNL sketch. :)
Lemme try recommending something back based on what it seems like is your jam: have you ever listened to Scissor Sisters or The Sundays ("Summertime" came on in a cafe while I was grabbing coffee this morning)?
I've never listened to Sabrina Carpenter. Can we turn this into a recommend music to your online acquaintances thread? :)
The lines on the left glove make me think of Disney and Mickey Mouse.
Did you just `flutter run -d lynx`? What's going on in that display window? ๐

Got it. So the missing piece is an agentic workflow for authoring tests (unit, widget, integration) based on feature code, running those tests, and creating a plan for addressing failures?
When you say "any model that is decent and reliable," what do you mean? Is it that no LLM exists that acts and produces code at the level of quality you want, or that there's no pattern for doing QA for Flutter apps that you find sufficient?
(Just trying to understand your point here. ๐)
I did another video!
The thing I learned this week was how to code a set of classes myself to make sure I fully understood them, and then have Gemini create a reusable skill (a set of markdown-formatted instructions and context) that Antigravity could use to auto-create similar stuff when needed.
I'm giving social video a try (in part to justify to my wife how much I've spent on lighting equipment). ๐
This is a minute-or-two recap sharing what I worked on and learned last week, mostly about GenUI and the A2UI protocol, which is getting a version bump to 0.9!

Absolutely over the Moon to share that I have joined the #GoogleDevoperExperts Program as a #GDE for @flutter.dev and @dart.dev
So excited for the opportunities this will bring to give back to the Community.
Thanks to everyone who helped me get here!
The Flutter team published a great video about the decoupling of Material and Cupertino from the Flutter framework in 2026!๐

I hope this encourages even more Flutter teams to build their own custom design systems to deliver a consistent user experience on every platform!โจ
Nope. Just trying to see some questions. Anything is welcome!
The fact that he writes HabitKit off as just "a pretty one" is hilarious. I can only imagine how that lack of judgment informs his other decisions.
Hey, folks! We're doing another live Q&A on Wednesday. Anything you'd like to know about the decoupling of Material/Cupertino, upcoming changes to Dart, and/or GenUI?

More than twenty years ago, I stumbled onto this poem in a Microsoft book on C++. That started me reading poetry, then writing poetry, then going back to school as a poet where I met my wife. Eventually I followed her to California and started at Google.
Anyway, I finally found the book on eBay! ๐

In my case, Ted Danson and Sally Struthers. ๐
Heeeeeey, there's a fun little green badge that wasn't there last week... ๐
