Hello world, I am Gabby Petito’s dad. Please help me find her. She is missing and we need everyone else to find her. Please keep sharing and praying. #FindGabby #wheresgabby #bringgabbyhome #americasdaughter https://t.co/eVCi5Sn9nM

The @java APIs are getting messy with lambdas, default methods etc as @joshbloch pointed out in Effective Java e.g. When using List<Integer> API's, remove(int index) and remove(Object o) conflict and wrong method is invoked unless value is cast to Integer!

[Salil Pitkar @salilpitkar]

Why is the Thread.interrupted method in @java not deprecated and replaced with a more meaningful e.g. checkAndResetInterruptStatus? Java books always refer to this method as poorly named method etc. Why not fix it??

[Preact @preactjs]

There is an experimental implementation of hooks in Preact.

We're super interested from both an ergonomic and performance standpoint.

Since MaterialApp and CupertinoApp are top level widgets, maybe @Android and iOS Dart libs should be bundled separately when compiling the @flutterio app so that the respective platform apps only include the platform specific and common libs?

[Salil Pitkar @salilpitkar]

Since @flutterio renders its own widgets rather than use OEM widgets, wouldn't the app size keep growing when it uses a lot of native widgets? @r_fuchsia OS could include Flutter widgets when it goes live but that optimization doesn't work for iOS.

[Dart Language @dart_lang]

We plan to migrate our production JavaScript compiler to modern syntax and features in 2019 – details: https://t.co/kUo039Fvsv

Great JS optimization in V8 talk - https://t.co/dGi3DOssVo

But isn't it time for TC39 to approve optional types in #javascript so that browsers can optimize code e.g. under "strict-type" mode and run JS faster than jump through all the hoops?

these are the holy grail of composition and progressive enhancement with any legacy or modern code you're dealing with 🎉

The gender pay gap isn't going to change unless we start talking about compensation. So, I'm sharing my salary history. Hoping that it helps at least one person.

[not just pixels @getifyX]

I was rejected for a job by @TwitterEng years ago, even tho I knew several people on the team who liked me & wanted me to join. I was later told by HR that one of the interviewers said I "didn't know JS" very well. That was part of the motivation for @YDKJS. #ShareYourRejections

Announcing Dart 2 stable release: https://t.co/cgnDdb5trG. Dart is one of the fastest growing languages on GitHub right now -- exciting to see. Now with massive updates to the web framework too! @dart_lang #ProgressiveWebApps #PWA

[Salil Pitkar @salilpitkar]

@r_FlutterDev @flutterio I suggest the Flutter codelabs/examples and Fluuter docs before taking any Flutter courses. Courses kinda assume that you have a decent Dart knowledge. Dart lang docs are a good start.

[Salil Pitkar @salilpitkar]

If you know JavaScript and Java - Dart (for Flutter) is easy to learn. Using a language may be easy but knowing it well is hard! A lot of devs think they "know" JavaScript but they really don't understand what is going on "under the hood" when code doesn't work as expected...

https://t.co/Y3jgFRnAlx - Like @_eseidel interview and his direct no-nonsense answers to the questions. The key point is obtaining user feedback to make @flutterio successful.
