I've personally been switching back and forth, and I cannot notice the difference. Plus, Cursor being a VS Code fork (always behind upstream) and only distributed via AppImage on Linux is a dealbreaker.

In a world where advanced IDEs with powerful intelligent tools existed (before LLMs took over that) there were plenty of devs "still" using plain text editors.

Thanks to open source, I can just copy the old parts into my own projects, but let's see how long until my implementation is broken.

Por suerte casi todo es configurable. Que tener que lidiar con basuras es demasiado engorro? desconectas esa opción. Y asà todo.

Me enganché bastante, pero tiene cosas muy frustrantes (que seguramente yo hacÃa mal eh) por ejemplo mi central eléctrica se quedaba sin empleados y se me cortaba la luz, y la única solución era tener un paro altÃsimo para incentivar el ir a currar allÃ

years ago we tried the one that generates "Dio" code, it didn't fully work for us and since we needed modifications we ended up just manually creating the code

I use Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (boring, I know) and I installed Flutter manually, not through a package manager. I work also on Mac and Windows (kill me) and Linux is by far the best dev experience.

I feel that LLMs are replacing "traditional" code-competition. So the effort could have gone that way instead.

Business trips, yes, of course. But that means attending meetings, conferences or similar. As soon as you mention "work" you are cooked.

I am against "one-size-fits-all" ideas.
The beauty of Europe is in its diversity. No, you cannot apply the same experience in a country to another one.
Just as wrong as assuming "most people in Europe live in flats, then most people in Norway live in flats".

Honestly, people should stop generalizing about Europe as if it was a single somehow uniform country

Actually, most people live in detached or semi-detached homes in Norway, and multi-dwelling housing is only like 25%.
You are also confusing ownership with type of dwelling. Some people own flats as well. Homeownership is like 80% in Norway anyway.

The amount of apps that use plus packages is kind of scary considering it's basically me and vbuberen maintaining them 🙃

A bit far from what I needed BUT that's indeed a cool project and I'll keep an eye on it!

Alright, I know where the bug in my original code is and why the output was slightly bigger. I'm evaluating some blocked paths more than once (i.e crossroads) which leads to a bigger total number.
comment in response to
post
Yep, I stored the point and direction for each visited cell to check for loops, and evaluated "what if the next step was a blocker instead?", somehow still my solution was wrong by +100.
Also had an emergency "exit(1)" if for some reason I had a bug and ended up in an infinite loop 😆

I used some help to fix my part 2 (thanks @pascalwelsch.com I looked up your solution on gh).
Not happy because I still don't understand why my original approach was wrong, but it's still good to learn a different approach and apply it my own way.

Just search "android" in the plus plugins' repo issue tracker 😫

There are other options as well! We have a pinned issue in the repo with some of the suggestions: github.com/fluttercommu... and there is also a ticket on flutter/flutter: github.com/flutter/flut...

Ah! The classic JDK 21 problem, the plus plugins' repo is full of complaints about this (it's not our fault!)

Also, a good excuse to learn Dart's RegExp.allMatches() ;)
