Started using Cursor this week. Not liking VS Code but Cursor Composer can give some great results. Still need to dive into cursorrules and tweak my workflow. Really looking forward to @jetbrains.com Junie to get the same thing in Intellij!

Anyone else had major issues using dart cli tools since dart 3.6? I have a CLI tool I develop and use daily, which is globally activated from a local source. Now I'm frequently getting the error: 'The current activation of `my_cli` cannot resolve to the same set of dependencies'.

Next year I want to start a weekly 'journal' of work achievements, things I'm proud of etc. I'm thinking a private github repo, with a github app that opens a PR weekly.

Flutter devs - is there a nicer way to fill the bottom scroll offset of a CustomScrollView (which uses BouncingScrollPhysics)? I'm currently using a scrollController.offset to display a Container behind the scroll view sized to the height of the scroll. It works, but is there a better way?
