As early adopter of various Google hardware products let me tell you: Do not buy the Googlebook! If you do, you'll be beta testing an unfinished product which will be discontinued two years later

I just contributed to Wikipedia for the first time in my life 📜

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.

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...

You can press D and W in Google Calendar to quickly switch between Day and Week view 😍

I thought JSON is way older 🤯

Go outside, touch some grass #outage

Perfect start 🏁 #MarioKartWorld #Switch2

Dart developers! Quick, what's the output?

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

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 🎉

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