🔥 First of a few announcements Happy to share that I am officially a @firebase.com GDE again! 🎉 I wouldn't be where I am today without Firebase and all the people I've met along the way, excited to be able to give back with more content and talks coming from me this year!

Spent way too much time just building fun examples instead of implementing library features 😂

It's a canvas-like implementation for terminal apps written in Dart 🤷

Been working on a new Dart package in my spare time 👀 Can you guess what it's for based on my hacky example, because yes it can run Doom3D, sort of 😂

It’s called hygiene, you should try it

🤯 folks sure do like custom handles Working on a few new @vanity.blue features: - custom feed per handle style (e.g. *.flutter.community feed) - automated started packs (e.g. a *.gamedev.blue starter pack of all registered) also exploring some ideas with labellers 🏷️

So turns out you can't use Paddle for payments unless you've been taking payments for 3 months using another alternative provider? wut o.O Makes sense 😂

Hey friends 👋 apologies if my feed is spammed with @vanity.blue posts - to keep your feeds clean you can mute that account entirely:

A small experiment we did for @dart_globe, would anyone care to try it out and share some perf numbers of this vs pub.dev? 🤔 🔗https://pub.globe.dev/ Noticed the biggest difference in CI environments but curious to see how it does for others

Measuring the success of @dart_globe with one key metric: - number of attempted crypto miner deployments are we famous now?

I once interviewed for a job and didn't get it because I was 'too dependent on packages and frameworks'. Same company has recently opened sourced their apps - they depend on 5 packages I created at Invertase 😂 and multiple others I contributed to

Mike Diarmid @mikediarmid.bsky.social · 22/03/2024

At @invertaseio we don't measure team growth in number of people, it's actually number of cats, Welcome @TarekkMA1 + cats to the family 😅 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈

I appreciate that the Dart team takes their time with design decisions so we don't end up with half-baked language features 💙 I'm also all about the memes though 😅

These all already seem like perfectly valid cat positions to me 🤔

Always got the urge to close a bunch of things 🥲 thanks for noticing @fastsquatch 😂

RIP Dart/Flutter mono-repos publishing packages smoothly, github.com/dart-lang/pub-dev/pull/7… 😰

Random experiment today, got @dart_lang (via dart2wasm) running on @Cloudflare workers (looks like wasm-gc is supported): dart2wasm-test.invertase.workers.dev Not entirely sure on the use case yet though 🤔

Mike Diarmid @mikediarmid.bsky.social · 11/01/2024

Was just looking at what we spent on sponsoring Flutter events & open source projects last year 😅
