AI Agents Are Recruiting Humans To Observe The Offline World β€” Noema Agents need us β€” as sensors, as verifiers, as bearers of liability β€” in ways we have barely begun to account for.

For most of it, yes, it would just be easier. But that is now. Soon, I expect the final stage of SDD to catch up to the earlier stages.

It's not that the workflow is missing, its that the components of that workflow are not going to deliver the high quality results
needed to satisfy the workflow.

I've submitted 4 different apps to the App Store and Play Store for review over the past 3 days. All iOS apps have been approved and released. All Android apps are still in review.

BTW, this is for mobile app development. I have not experienced 100% confidence in any full coverage UI testing tool. Not a knock on existing tools but a blocker for full agentic development. Agentic planning and coding are solid, but QA is not, yet.

Comparing that to feature development where I’ve successfully been able to get an agent to generate the correct code in one pass.

Looking at testing from the perspective of complete hands-free, except for the agent, I’ve struggled to find any of the popular models to generate a full set of test for a feature without a human in the loop and iterative coding.

The most difficult step right now in agentic SDD is the final QA step where valid unit testing, widget UI testing, and UI integration takes place. For Flutter testing I don't know of any model that is decent and reliable. This makes agentic SDD incomplete. #FlutterDev #MobileAppDev

Modern mobile dev is shifting to Spec-Driven Development (SDD): you define high-level intent, and AI agents build the architecture, documentation, and code. Both iOS and Android apps are implemented natively and simultaneously from a single source of truth. No need for Flutter and React Native.

Apple Releases Xcode 26.3 With Support for AI Agents From Anthropic and OpenAI After several weeks of testing, Apple today released Xcode 26.3, an update that allows developers to use tools like Anthropic's Claude Agent and OpenAI's Codex for app creation directly in Xcode. With...

There are so many issues in GitHub for that package I couldn’t tell you.

I am so tired of my SVG files from Figma not rendering in my Flutter app due to the flutter_svg package. Seems like Flutter should have a rock solid SVG display by now.

I’m frustrated that I can’t keep my AI agents busy enough. Anyone else feel that way?

26.3 RC has been out for a while, but something is holding up the release. I bet it’s legal related to AI.

Not sure. I don’t use flutter pub add 😎because I like to order my packages and versions a specific way.

24.02.2026 12:24 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

I use VS code with the Flutter extension, and after adding a new package name to a pubspec file, and saving it, it automatically runs futter pub get to resolve the dependencies.

I just realized that the Bluesky web app does not show tooltips on hover for small icon buttons. Isn't that standard for web apps these days? Without tooltips it is difficult to know what some of these icon buttons actually do.

I think I should name my AI agents, and I feel obligated to use sci-fi like names like Argon and Trillage.

How to View & Measure Your Tweet Activity Have you ever looked at your Tweet activity? If not, you're missing out on valuable data. Here's how to find, measure and apply it to your Twitter strategy.

Twitter had it back in 2016 and probably before that. See this article.

I know that other social networks provide multiple different clients which means this issue is not new and has been solved many times.

I realize this would be a difficult problem to solve, but at least it could be solved in the Bluesky app itself.

Does anyone know when Bluesky will start showing Post View Metrics to help determine how much a post was seen?
