It doesn't get as much press as Fast or Beautiful, but Open is one of the original four pillars of Flutter. 🤝 I'm stoked to see the team's new design doc process. It's more inclusive and more predictable. See the results beginning to land in the new repo: github.com/flutter/rfc!

I set one up with Python to monitor developer blogs every 6 hours. When a new article drops, it uses Gemini 3.8 to draft an editorial blurb and opens a verified GitHub PR. Full architecture and setup guide: redbrogdon.dev/blog/enabli...

Enabling My Vanity with Antigravity Sidecars · Andrew Brogdon

How I used Google Antigravity background sidecars, GitHub Apps, and Gemini 3.8 to build an automated watcher that keeps my personal site's bibliography up to date.

Andrew Brogdon @redbrogdon.dev · 14/09/2026

Most background dev automations are a pain to configure. You either hide scripts in your OS crontab or set up an over-engineered cloud runner. Antigravity sidecars offer a clean alternative: simple background processes managed right inside your workspace. 🧵

Do you find yourself being unnecessarily polite to your coding agents? I literally can't stop myself from saying "please" and "thank you." My only hope is that this somehow goes into training data and balances out some of the bile in old StackOverflow posts. 🤣

I redid my personal site over the weekend, updated some links, and added the few of my poems that I got published. I remember building my first web page in '94, and feeling like it was a creative act. This still felt that way, which is a relief in the age of AI-assisted coding.

Are you creating agentic that involve money or the need for local services when preparing fields for display (date formatting for example?). If so, A2UI's client-side functions can help you give your agent the ability to run local code quickly and declaratively!

Andrew Brogdon @redbrogdon.dev · 24/08/2026

My latest hot take: I miss the days when you could just hit escape on your browser, and all the images would stop animating.

Andrew Brogdon @redbrogdon.dev · 21/08/2026

Are you using a single agent for every coding task? A setup using multiple agents (each with its own context, role, skills, and rules) can help you leverage different models for different tasks, compartmentalize context and errors, and get things done faster.

Andrew Brogdon @redbrogdon.dev · 20/08/2026

Does anyone have resources to recommend on managing large libraries of skills? Example: If I have a single reference file that's useful for two different skills, what should I do? Live with the denormalization and put it in both? Combine the skills somehow? Share it in a bucket?

Latency is often the first thing people ask about when they see GenUI. I've got some tips for reducing or even eliminating it! Links in first reply. ⬇️

Andrew Brogdon @redbrogdon.dev · 13/08/2026

Python or Go? (This isn't intended as cheap flamebait -- I've been working more on the backend of agentic apps, and I'd like to focus on one of the two languages until I feel like I really understand what's up. I genuinely welcome and will likely act on your opinions 🙂)

Having recently moved out of the Bay area, it's a new and mildly unsettling experience to sit in my basement home office during a thunderstorm, listening to the sump pump churn and knowing that its tiny impeller is all that stands between me and a submerged desk. 🤣

Publishing an llms.txt is now nearly free, and adoption is climbing. Getting an agent to actually read it is the hard part. We benchmarked both sides. There's good news and bad news.

Does anyone have a hotel recommendation for Fluttercon in Orlando? The convention center is huge, and it looks like you could stay at one of its "official" hotels and still have a twenty minute walk.

Got it. So the missing piece is an agentic workflow for authoring tests (unit, widget, integration) based on feature code, running those tests, and creating a plan for addressing failures?

120

Andrew Brogdon @redbrogdon.dev · 03/03/2026

When you say "any model that is decent and reliable," what do you mean? Is it that no LLM exists that acts and produces code at the level of quality you want, or that there's no pattern for doing QA for Flutter apps that you find sufficient? (Just trying to understand your point here. 😀)

120

Andrew Brogdon @redbrogdon.dev · 02/03/2026

I did another video! The thing I learned this week was how to code a set of classes myself to make sure I fully understood them, and then have Gemini create a reusable skill (a set of markdown-formatted instructions and context) that Antigravity could use to auto-create similar stuff when needed.
