My vibe coding setup changes every week. Which tool have I missed this week?

Which logging package do you use in your @flutter.dev app / @dart.dev backend/cli?

Today I was 11x "absolutely right!"

Software projects don't fail, they run out of budget

Daily Standup "I worked on ticket 168264." Well, you could have just said nothing.... Just invest 5s of your time and tell what you actually worked on, so I don't have to look this ticket up, because I won't.

That was quick, my talk from Fluttercon Berlin is online! www.youtube.com/watch?v=53NL...

Here are my slides of "Flipping the Testing Pyramid" from Fluttercon Berlin about Widget Tests | Robot Tests | Spot docs.google.com/presentation...

I was wondering why the QR code tile was "active" all the time until I realized it is actually just the Audible app shining through 😑 #ios26

You're absolutely right!

I find it odd that we have file extensions. Who thought it is a good idea to squash name and type into a single property?

Collegue returns from vacation C: "Which AI tool should I use now? Is cursor still relevant?" P: "No, we all use claude code now." C: "But is it better?" P: "It works in @intellijidea.com" C: "Ok, I'm sold"

Years ago, I created a riddle for my wife about her present. Unfortunately, it was to hard. Today, I gave the riddle to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. ChatGPT and Gemini got it right. Claude did not. My personal conclusion is that Claude, while very smart, doesn't know about local traditions

People don't seem to read articles anymore. Maybe I try substack pascalwelsch.substack.com/p/the-confer...

Read why I'm so happy to talk about this topic this year passsy.medium.com/107e0e7fbf26

I'm talking at fluttercon.dev about "Flipping the Testing Pyramid - Smarter Widget Testing with Spot & Robots"

Yup, LLMs are great for reverse-engineering. It reads obfuscated code like humans read non-obfuscated code.

It would be so cool if I could add MCPs to Gemini on my Nest Home devices. I would finally be able to add items to my getbring.com shopping list again, all these years after Google kicked them out of Google Assistant

I had Matt Damon in my head while reading #ProjectHailMary but Ryan Gosling is kinda refreshing www.youtube.com/watch?v=m08T...

I thought JSON is way older 🤯

Mein talk vom Flutter Day 2024 über Widget Testing mit Spot und Testing Robots ist online 🎉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV21...

Go outside, touch some grass #outage

Perfect start 🏁 #MarioKartWorld #Switch2

Dart developers! Quick, what's the output?

spot: 0.18 is a huge release 🚛 #Flutter widget testing becomes better with every update pub.dev/packages/spo...

Since I spend more and more time in cursor, I ported my personal editor theme (Sweet Pascal) from IntelliJ to VScode. The pastel colors are inspired by Sweet Sweet Canyon from Mario Kart 8

Liebes @zdfde.bsky.social, arbeitet ihr schon an Folge 6 oder Staffel 2 von Inside CDU? www.zdf.de/dokus/inside...

Caution, if you used SpringSimulation in any of your Flutter apps. A breaking change landed today in the beta channel, changing the behaviour. docs.flutter.dev/release/brea...

When the "forgot password" function sends you your password in plain text as email 🤦‍♂️ Danke Bezirksregierung Köln @stadt-koeln.de

Maybe we should name our flutter source code files <name>.f.dart This way we can easily write cursor rules matching only flutter code

Should a HTTP API return all missing fields of a POST request or only the first?

Inbox zero 💪

Hot take: We don't need swagger code annotations anymore. LLMs can generate API documentations directly from code

Had a great Flutter Frankfurt event yesterday at the Miles & More office. Here are my slides about Testing Robots and spot docs.google.com/presentation...

Tomorrow, I'm speaking about spot in Frankfurt 🎉

I invested a full day testing cursor.com. I haven't written a single line of code. It was all generated and good 🤯 I was especially amazed by refactorings across the codebase. Faster than me ⚡️ The actual workflow is like reviewing PRs. Suggest a change, review the change. Iterate, land the change.

The @dart.dev package ecosystem should use the .pub TLD way more. Like prisma.pub

Kotlin is a great language, loved by million developers. Without macros. Dart will be fine medium.com/dartlang/an-...

Hallöchen, es gibt jetzt einen Starterpack für Flutter DACH :)! Bitte kurz Bescheid geben, dann füge ich euch und/oder eure Vorschläge hinzu! go.bsky.app/ND9T2Yz

It's one of these days where I was able to resolve a problem with #ChatGPT without having any knowledge in the field. ✅ Fixed a network miss-configuration on macos of a open vpn config file

spot 0.17.0 now ships with Jaspr to generate the HTML timeline. Thanks so much @schultek.dev for the migration. github.com/passsy/spot

Making progress. The spot timeline now supports hot-restart for spot developers. This makes it way easier to work with Jaspr It takes Dart ~1.5s to compile the app to JS.

We reached the “printer” topic at the family gathering

Christmas parallel universes clash 🎄 Apple, Whatsapp, ICE guys vs. Google, Telegram, EV folks

I will never again create a website with Squarespace. Why? They prevent pinch-to-zoom in a lightbox on mobile devices. The workaround is to buy a $45 3rd party plugin. What a scam. The issue exists since 2019 forum.squarespace.com/topic/151310...

#AdventOfCode Day 21. I'm out 🫡

Which code style do you prefer? 🤔 Today's #AdventOfCode felt like a challenge in code formatting more than anything. I can't decide which style I like better!

Yesterday, I was ready to drop out of #AdventOfCode. Tired of pathfinding in 2D grids and stuck on Part 2. But today? Personal best, finishing in the Top 1000! Turns out, doing assembler in school proves useful. I claimed provisional #1 on the Dart leaderboard for a few minutes

I'm not usually a huge fan of collision detection. Surprisingly, I didn't find "Warehouse Woes" Day 15 #AdventOfCode too difficult. It was rather straightforward with all the helper methods I created in the last two weeks to work with a 2D grid. github.com/passsy/aoc24...
