Flutter GDE ❖ I share tips about Dart & Flutter app development.

When coding with AI, I follow a fairly simple principle:

If prompting effort > coding effort, code it. 😅

Would it be useful if I made a video with examples, etc?

Back in the day, many companies used to under-promise and over-deliver, leading to customer satisfaction and long-term business prospects.

Sad to see late-stage capitalism changed this. Now it seems to be the norm (esp. for AI companies) to trick customers and do the opposite.

Here's a fun game! 🎲

Fully implement a feature, getting as close as possible to 0% context before auto-compacting.

I'm working on a new video about essential folders I use for agentic AI coding.

I'll cover my workflow for:

1️⃣ staying organized
2️⃣ getting consistently good results
3️⃣ reducing friction when coding with AI

Should be out next week! 🗓️

This is kinda how I build with AI these days.

Same for you?

Today I built the currency conversion charts for my new app.

Or rather, I wrote the spec, and CC Sonnet 4.5 did all the planning and implementation. 🚀

Got it all done in ~4 hours, even though I wasn't at all familiar with the fl_charts library. Very impressed!

Did you know?

You can use absolute imports for reusable Dart files that are copy-pasted across projects.

This way, they are always imported correctly (as long as they live in the same location relative to the project root).

Very interesting post-mortem from Anthropic about the recent reliability issues:

A postmortem of three recent issues
This is a technical report on three bugs that intermittently degraded responses from Claude. Below we explain what happened, why it took time to fix, and what we're changing.

I'm testing Codex with GPT-5 for my new app.

Haven't tested any complex use cases yet, but so far it seems on par with Claude Code (and quite a bit cheaper to run).

Want a video about it? Like/let me know in the comments.

I started a new side project. 🚀

Goal: build a simple currency converter app that doesn't suck, using Claude Code & other AI tools.

Here's a very early build (which sucks but it'll get better):
currency-converter-ab.web.app
currency_converter
A new Flutter project.

I'm gonna start experimenting with the new Flutter MCP server.

Have you used it? Found it useful? Any gotchas?
September 3, 2025 at 10:38 AM
Did you know?

Some Matrix4 APIs such as `translate` and `scale` have been deprecated in the latest Flutter 3.35 release.

To update them:
- Import vector_math explicitly
- Use the new APIs which take a Vector3 argument

Just fixed a thorny issue where my site generator would fail to generate some output folders after a system upgrade.

I was unfamiliar with the underlying package causing this -> no chance of fixing on my own.

But Claude Code one-shotted the correct diagnosis and fix.💪

I'm back online!

The move went well and I'm super happy in my new place.

Still a few things to sort out but I'm ready to get back to work!
After 17 years in the UK, I’m moving back to Italy! 🇮🇹

London has been very good to me, but it’s time to start a new chapter in life!

Super excited! ☀️

Pretty reasonable dev workflow:
- write detailed requirements as an issue on GitHub
- ask Claude Code to make a plan
- write it to ai_plans/issue#-and-slug.md
- let CC implement the plan
- review, tweak, test and commit
- use CC to push a PR, including the plan in the description

Friendly reminder that both good and bad coding compound over time.

AI accelerates that.

As of today, my wife has been putting up with me for 10 years. 😅

CachedNetworkImage wasn't behaving as I wanted in my app, so I just implemented a custom solution with Drift & Riverpod.

Best thing of all: Claude Code wrote all the code!

All I did was write a detailed spec and make some minor tweaks at the end.

Should I make a video about this?
