Today was a good day ☀️🚴‍♂️

Interesting insight from a convo with @fre.flutter.community : It seems a lot of devs enter the #FlutterDev space and struggle to grow from Junior to Intermediate - a culprit seems to be a sole focus on the Flutter API, without understanding Dart, OOP and software principles. The solution? (🧵👇)

Almost everyone on my team is on holiday this week. Perfect time to refactor a 70K loc Flutter app to support multi-user logins. Step 1: list all globally persisted data and decide where it should migrate to 👀 #FlutterDev

Dove some more into #golang today. While simplicity is awesome, it feels weird not having some common language features like ternary operators 🤔

It's been a while since I've picked up a new programming language, so tonight I chose to give #Golang a try 👀 I'm learning the basics via exercism.org, which is simply an amazing platform 🙌

Some days you're just flying between projects and features. Other days you're stuck staring at a bug report. Today had both

The async behavior of package_info_plus is so annoying. I wish we could just access this metadata synchronously, through WidgetsBinding for example #FlutterDev

If you have a different signing config for each flavor on Android, don't forget to explicitly set buildTypes.debug.signingConfig to null. Android will put the debug signing there and will ignore the flavor specific signing if this is not null #AndroidDev #FlutterDev
