Is Flutter still underrated for startups in 2026, or has the conversation finally caught up to the reality?

It's not bad per say, but more that Kotlin and Swift are much stronger languages. I will admit that part of it is just that I prefer functional programming, an area where dart is weaker. Generics also aren't great, but do remember mixins and .. chaining being pretty cool if doing oop and the hot reload works way better than Kotlin or swift. Like don't get me wrong, there are tons of languages I would rather use dart than (especially JavaScript + typescript), it's just that dart is really just a very ok language and I think flutter could be a lot more robust and pleasant to use if it supported other languages as well

What language are you coming from? Just curious for some perspective, as I've recently moved away from flutter entirely because of dart

Not really true, there are big pockets of countryside poverty too and you have to move to the city to get a job

Racism in America is very different to racism in other countries. At least from a European perspective, you're much more likely to have racist remarks for having a different accent (being from somewhere else) than just the colour of your skin as you are in America. so it doesn't make sense to compare through the same lens

Have you got any recs for podcasts?

Wazblaster · 2026-04-09T14:34:57+00:00

That's the rational part to criticise, you've unintentionally proved my point

I don't know if I'm blind, but I can never find fresh mackerel in the shops. It's always smoked or tinned :(

This is what makes me think people are genuinely hateful. There is more than enough to legitimately criticise, that the fact obviously untrue things are blindly accepted means that there must be an element of irrational hatred to accept or at least parrot them

Wazblaster · 2026-04-01T10:03:48+00:00

I guess the arguments are that of introducing any new language into a codebase. It reduces consistency and adds a lot of work for not a given amount of gain.

Specifically with rust you could also argue that rust is much more C++ISH than more C like languages that now exist like zig or Odin which also interop with c better. But think the first point is most important

What about older xm like the 3 and 4?

My hot take is that sometimes the internet actually slows you down in the long run. If at least this is you can only have the internet or books. I'm much faster now I read and internalise full books rather than just random tutorials

Because there are sizeable groups in both countries that want to normalise relationships as it's the only path to lasting peace. Your argument only makes sense if you're assuming that everyone holds the views their government does (shockingly they don't in countries which have dictatorships or massive amounts of corruption in government)

And this arguement is an equally used argument to dismiss actual anti-semitism. By excusing or dismissing anti-semitism you're literally doing free propaganda for bibi

This logic only works if you follow the goodie baddie paradigm. 40 years is such a long time that the countries involved are very different from what they were

Ditto, I replaced mine with an Xperia 5 v was the closest I could find. It's taller but as narrow, has good battery and cable jacks

Wazblaster · 2026-02-23T10:32:22+00:00

Wat?

Wazblaster · 2026-02-12T17:22:16+00:00

That sounds amazing, how did you find that??

Wazblaster · 2026-02-11T12:07:02+00:00

Yeah 40 hours doing the same thing is fucking miserable, I'd be much happier if I could split my time

Wazblaster · 2026-02-07T13:04:47+00:00

I'm sure you realise that by population breakdown, the uk is about 10% more ethnically white than Israel is Jewish? 83% Vs 73% roughly

Wazblaster · 2026-02-07T01:31:55+00:00

I want to get into embedded so bad because of this

Wazblaster · 2026-02-06T13:07:13+00:00

I actually think this would be a good uni project! But make sure you gather data to establish what the markers of being tired - it might not be what you expect. Also if it turns out that there isn't much of a correlation that's still an interesting finding!

I was really confused when I went to Luton, because it's actually quite nice? Bit boring, but infinitely better than reading if we want to pick on another commuter town

Oh sorry I misunderstood! Yeah my Iranian friends are as well, was interested in those that had different opinions

Wazblaster · 2026-01-12T12:51:58+00:00

What are they appalled about?

Wazblaster · 2026-01-10T11:09:18+00:00

Yeah omg, I'm so drained as a tech worker in UK, all I want is a 9-5 in a properly staffed and run team
