See you on the livestream tomorrow. Chirpy, the greatest social media app of this or any age, will see some real progress!

With so much misinformation circulating about Dart & Flutter I feel a need to clarify. Facts:

- No strategy changes.
- No change in team size; some DevOps roles moving to new locations.
- 2024 roadmap continues.

Now I'll get back to the product!

Absolutely over the moon about the House of Representatives passing aid for Ukraine! 🇺🇦

This tweet is an extraordinary exhibition of dishonesty: It is Mike Johnson who has appeased Russia and Iran for many months, by refusing to allow the House to vote on a bill that could provide weapons to defend against both of them.

When they say April 15 is 'Tax Day', that means it's the first day you're legally allowed to submit your taxes, right?

As in years past, I'm off to print and mail my forms on opening day of Tax Season. #organized

NATO’s 75th … a Foreign Ministers’ meeting … and what needs to happen next

'Foolhardy' is one of English's more whimsical words, but is an adjective that I don't believe has a direct noun form.

For that, I submit 'foolhard'.

As in, 'Carl, stop being such a foolhard; you're going to hurt yourself.'

Me at 25: Tests should be 5ish lines! One assert per test!

Me at 40: This test is 56 lines long with 11 asserts. If I broke it up, it would be 11 separate tests, ~5x as much code, multiple helper functions and `beforeEach`s to avoid duplication, and more difficult to read.

Starting next week on #ObservableFlutter and continuing on weeks without other topics, I will begin building a serious app with Serverpod 🚀.

It has to be simple, because I will only work on it on stream for ~90 minutes per week.

I'd love suggestions for what to build!

A few weeks ago, I talked to a spine specialist for 30 minutes to get advice on my back injury. Turns out that cost $540.

Those random texts we all get that I'd always assumed were phishing attempts? Looks like they're way worse than that 😱

Nothing makes me want to move to Europe more than riding an international train. For an American, this feels like what I imagine Disney Land feels like to a child.

Loved this interview between Jake Broe and 'Anna from Ukraine'. A lot of details about daily Ukrainian life that are hard, but important, to hear.

Her ask of the West: 'Please don't get tired.'

Hat tip to Kate Lovett for making a comment in code review several months ago which I did not fully appreciate at the time, but which later led to me to realize Dart supports extensions on nullable types.

The story of how Google Earth used #Flutter to push the boundaries of UI adaptability HAD to be told. So, I told it.

Hey all - sadly, this stream will have to wait. I'm feeling pretty lousy this morning and need to take a sick day.

Donald Trump would sell Ron DeSantis into slavery for a sandwich

Beyond disgusted at Republicans for blocking aid to #Ukraine on purely bad-faith arguments. In a sane world, MAGA House Republicans' actions and statements being celebrated on Russian state media would forever disqualify them, but we do not live in that world.
