I’ve been a Flutter developer for ~6 years. This year, after joining a new organization, I intentionally learned Ruby on Rails by building and deploying a real system instead of just following tutorials. @rails #RubyonRails #WebDev #Devops

Massive appreciation to the Rails community — the ecosystem made learning and shipping enjoyable. @dhh @tenderlove @bitsweat @rafaelfranca @eileencodes @_byroot @thoughtbot @serpapi @rails contributors, thank you for building something that rewards pragmatism.

I’m open to collaborations, contracts, or Rails/Full-stack opportunities where shipping real systems matters. Always happy to learn and build.

I had a really good time presenting @KopoKopoInc Flutter SDK that we developed to make integration of digital payments easier. Thank your @FlutterconKE for the opportunity. Looking forward to more interesting talks today and tomorrow.
💙 What a session! @brian_1011_dev from @KopoKopoInc just took the stage at #FlutterconKE25 to show developers how to build seamless in-app payments (M-PESA STK Push) from scratch using their Flutter SDK. A powerful demo showcasing how local fintech innovation is transforming mobile experiences — right here in Kenya 🇰🇪💸 #FlutterconKE25 #FlutterKenya #FlutterDev #kopokopo

Been a while. git reflog with git cherry-pick is a life saver. I had lost my file changes that took me 2 days playing around with git. #git

What you need to build for: iOS → Flutter Web → Flutter Linux → Flutter macOS → Flutter Android → Flutter Windows → Flutter Embedded → Flutter

I am going through a coding tutorial (online article) while asking points I don't understand to chatgpt. Learning is way easier with AI and more specifically chatgpt. #Coding #chatgpt4

#Flutter developers - do you find it confusing to use imperative functions for showing UI like "showDialog"? I kind of like how #SwiftUI handles this with modifiers. Do you have a more declarative / state driven way of doing this in Flutter?
