@CFDevelop I use my mvvm package. Old pattern. Super simple. https://t.co/rBQfJ70Mv7

[Richard Coutts 💙🎯 @buttonsrtoys]

@_Mo_Malaka_ @code I year both and prefer AS. VS code is buggy. Occasional restarts needed. Vim plug-in is terrible

@bradintheusa For every one over engineered flutter app there are a hundred that are absolute messes

[Richard Coutts 💙🎯 @buttonsrtoys]

@remi_rousselet I wrote gen_expects and find it super helpful. It writes widget tests tho, not golden tests. What would an auto gen golden tests package look like? https://t.co/ESAJ7wRcFv

[Richard Coutts 💙🎯 @buttonsrtoys]

@elonmusk No. They hate hate speech. Clearly you don't understand the difference.

@b_plab98 1. I don't use app names or companies names in code because they often change. I used "Common" myself.

2. Wrapping something to stabilize it's API sounds nuts to me. Defensive coding like this rarely pays returns. I have a big common library but it's because of custom widgets.

[Richard Coutts 💙🎯 @buttonsrtoys]

@ASalvadorini Yeah. I get that. But have you ever seen the nightmare bugs mutable UI State can cause? I'm not saying they're not common. I just have never seen them.

[Richard Coutts 💙🎯 @buttonsrtoys]

@za_geek I want to but couldn't find flutter people but may have been looking in the wrong place

[Richard Coutts 💙🎯 @buttonsrtoys]

@CFDevelop @zumalifeguard I found Mastodon bewildering

[Richard Coutts 💙🎯 @buttonsrtoys]

@ASalvadorini Same here regarding using ChangeNotifiers instead of streams. I get the sense that devs think streams are sexy so overuse them.

[Richard Coutts 💙🎯 @buttonsrtoys]

@CFDevelop @MatanLurey This is an old tweet and I agree about separation but what do you mean by "accidentally accessed the state"

[Richard Coutts 💙🎯 @buttonsrtoys]

@CFDevelop I suspect that in a lot of cases it's because the developer doesn't know much about the area that they need the package for, so don't know what to look for. So they go with the most popular. I know I've been guilty of this in the past.

[Richard Coutts 💙🎯 @buttonsrtoys]

@remi_rousselet One of the traps I've seen lately is the mistake that less code means cleaner code. Sometimes that's true but sometimes it means tighter coupling.

[Richard Coutts 💙🎯 @buttonsrtoys]

@Abhimanyu_Kh @r_FlutterDev This is an old tweet of yours but what got messy? I've never used getx but know a company deciding on whether to use it.

[Richard Coutts 💙🎯 @buttonsrtoys]

@kevmoo Agreed. I wrote my gen_keys package with it. Though I did find the documentation lacking for first time users. Probably because I'm spoiled by the great docs in Flutter

@CFDevelop True. But I'm not always sure that's a good thing. 🫤
