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!👏 youtu.be/W4olXg91iX8?... I hope this encourages even more Flutter teams to build their own custom design systems to deliver a consistent user experience on every platform!✨

Want to live in Sunnyvale, California and work on the Flutter team?

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! 😀

Heeeeeey, there's a fun little green badge that wasn't there last week... 😀

Knowing Filip is living his best life gives me hope for the rest of us.

Today's summary of yesterday's Dart/Flutter GitHub activity includes a fix for those building iOS apps with watch companions, as well as prep for an upcoming language feature! Full report at github.com/redbrogdon/g...

Everyone knows this is the most important announcement in tech today #FlutterDev

I'm still working on my daily GitHub activity summaries for Dart and Flutter. Today's list includes a fix from Elijah for an annoying iOS debugging issue. Full report at github.com/redbrogdon/g....

Dart 3.10's dot shorthands are game changers for #Flutter code: ✅ shorter enums, less boilerplate, and sharper syntax. ⚠️ But beware the hidden complexities! Learn about “Practical Rulebook for Teams” 👇 dcm.dev/blog/2025/11...

I've entered a new phase of my software engineering career in which I no longer build or code anything, and instead just work with Gemini to make DESIGN.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, and IMPLEMENTATION.md files for hypothetical apps I wish existed.

I just released `build_runner 2.10.3` with another performance improvement, if you have a big codebase you will be happy, benchmark results: 1000 files: 2x faster (5s -> 3s) 2000 files: 5x faster (25s -> 5s) 5000 files: 27x faster (424s -> 15s) pub.dev/packages/bui...

We're streaming in a few hours! Release news, customer stories, leads who will answer your questions, and more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTb3...

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. 😀

Suddenly it happens! 🌟 @serverpod.dev is on Discord. Join us there and spread the word. 🙌 https://discord.gg/wJ4pQeHhVc

I know people are probably sick of vibe coding content at this point, but I do think it's cool to see a Google VP building stuff on YT! www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1KA...

Want your website footer to look as cool as the official dart.dev website? ✨ Add the new "Built with Jaspr" badge with only 1 line of code. Available as "JasprBadge.light()" and ".dark()" in the latest Jaspr release!

Jaspr + Riverpod = 💙 jaspr_riverpod is not updated to use Riverpod 3, giving you access to all the latest features. Also, syncing providers is now even easier. Think "fullstack providers" that you compute on the server (e.g. load from db) and read on the client after pageload.

Anybody want to hear my life story and freewheeling opinions on application engineering? 😀

📣 I published a new Jaspr pre-release with big improvements! Writing Jaspr components is now even easier and more Flutter-like, the framework core is further optimized and more performant, and I added a 'jaspr migrate' command that automatically migrate all breaking changes. 👇

Today I learned a neat #Dart trick for running multiple async operations in parallel. I used to rely on 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁(), but that meant: • Casting results manually (𝘢𝘴 𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘈, 𝘢𝘴 𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘉 … 😩) • The logic depended on the order of operations (easy to break, especially with LLMs 😅).

Stay a while and listen #ObservableFlutter #VideoGameReferences #Diablo
