I come back to this tumblr post again and again

Tumblr post by sunderwight: The current AI situation is like if the people who were pushing NFTs had successfully gotten everyone to start referring to any and all digital transactions as an NFT, thus allowing them to pretend that things like online shopping, downloadable video games, bank transfers, etc were closely related to convincing middle-aged would-be techies to invest serious money in ugly digital paintings, and hold the former examples up in defense of the latter any time someone pointed out that the whole NFT thing was a racket. What do you mean NFTs are bad, don't you want disabled people to be able to use their phones to have medication delivered to their doorstep? Wow. Horrible of you, really.

If there is one thing I miss from the past it is when search engines searched for the words you typed

I replied to all of these points in the proposal doc so I’ll stop repeating myself.

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

I’m assuming most folks will use AI to generate the AI assets in which case these assets can easily account for more of the package bundle than the source, tests, and README for example. According to the proposal: “Packages do not have a maximum size limit as well to mitigate this”.

They contribute to package bloat which isn’t ideal but at least devtools are in service of everyone.

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

Yes it is. Screenshots and example apps benefit everyone. AI specific docs don’t.

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

There are a few fundamental differences here: 1. static analysis is a foundational part of Dart 2. linters don’t cost extra to use 3. linters are deterministic and reliable 4. google doesn’t profit from the use of lint rules The same can’t be said for AI assets/agents.

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

You can’t ignore this proposal entirely because as it is written 1. it will result in package bloat for everyone regardless of whether they use agents 2. it will make package discovery worse on pub 3. it will put additional pressure/burden on all package authors

Adding extra work on package maintainers' plates doesn't seem like a good way to encourage OSS devs to produce & maintain the great parts of the Flutter ecosystem.

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Then I guess we just have to agree to disagree 😅. Making LLM output less bad is not the responsibility of package maintainers or package managers imo. You have to consider the side effects of opening this door and the long term effects it will have on the ecosystem.

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Same 😕

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Those can be written externally and linked to from the pubspec.yaml just like we have the “documentation” field. I shouldn’t need to download and cache AI docs if I’m not using them.

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

🙁

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

If the only thing this does is encourage package maintainers to write LLM-specific docs then I would argue either the package docs and examples need to be improved (which doesn’t require any of the changes in this proposal) or we should not be promoting LLMs as the solution to every problem.

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Making LLM output less bad is NOT the responsibility of package maintainers. Looks like the future of pub will be AI generated content for AI consumption. Is this really what the community wants? docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Today is my last day at @shorebird.dev. I’ve had a great time working with the team and building some awesome tech but I’ve decided to move on to my next adventure. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere — I’ll still be active in the Flutter/Dart community 💙

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

Yes because you don’t always have control over the name with dot shorthand. I’d be fine if they just applied to enums but something like fn(.new()) is very hard to read imo. You need to look at the function signature to understand what .new() is referring to.

Felix Angelov @felangel.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

I’m personally not a huge fan of Dart’s new dot shorthand syntax. It makes code harder to read, there’s no lint rule to standardize one way or the other, and it just adds more complexity to a language which I love for its simplicity.

Hey, folks! The Flutter team is doing a livestream next week, which will include a Q&A. Anything you'd like to ask the engineering, DevRel, and product leads? Questions about the roadmap, new features, the craziest place they've seen someone get Flutter running, all of these are valid topics. 😀

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.
