Note: My comment is not specific to this comment. I just wanted to express myself at somewhere and this is where I think it may be suitable.
I think Flutter is a good idea with bad execution. Maybe due to the lack of resources or effort put into it or maybe due to the management, I don't know.
The only thing that is cross-platform right now is the web and it is based on graphics engines (Skia in the case of Chrome). My idea of Flutter is that it is being web (i.e. cross-platform) without being a browser (i.e. overhead of being browser). However, in practice, I couldn't observe a good performance from Flutter when I tried it.
Right now, a lot of apps are developed using Electron (aka Chrome). Flutter is the equivalent of Electron for mobile without the extra layer of having a browser. With the advent of frameworks using WebView (WebGPU is also becoming popular) such as Tauri, we may need less Electron and Flutter.
> Flutter Web in particular is fundamentally flawed and needs to be rebuilt from the ground up if it has any hopes of being viable tech that generates semantic, accessible, and modern web experiences.
I don't know the exact technology of Flutter Web, but I think Flutter Web doesn't makes sense because it is running a renderer (Flutter) inside a renderer (browser).
As an experiment, one can create two resumes with different identities where the first one is listing Nim as a skill and the other one is listing Java and Spring as skills, and apply to the same jobs. I wonder what the ratio of replies will be.
One person that is developing such a tool recommended collage students not to add too much links to their CVs because otherwise, their CV will be flagged as a malicious document.
What I mean with "we" is that there is a general perception that using AI is okay and mandatory. This idea is becoming more and more prevalent in management positions and it disturbs me deeply.
I got some replies since I commented, but I am still in the same mind. I did not see a strong refutation to my idea. Why are some people (I didn't want to use the word "we" again) are okay with AI use in code but not in prose? I know that they are not exactly same but they have some similarities. If we are unhappy with sloppy prose, why are we happy with sloppy, potentially buggy or hard to maintain code?
