Shower thought: The pool of people we call the American Founding Fathers could have either been twice as big or twice as smart had they included women.

We got Founding *Fathers*, but maybe we'd be better off if we'd had Founding *Parents*.

Interesting insight from a convo with @fre.flutter.community :

It seems a lot of devs enter the #FlutterDev space and struggle to grow from Junior to Intermediate - a culprit seems to be a sole focus on the Flutter API, without understanding Dart, OOP and software principles.

The solution? (πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡)

I absolutely love telling the AI it’s wrong. LOL! πŸ˜‚

I’ll love comments in code. If I’m reading others’ code (or my old code) and if there aren’t comments or only a few ones, I’ll have it comment the code. Then review the comments and see if the code looks like it’s doing what the AI said it is doing.

Have you done code reading to understand and then use AI to have it comment the code and see if the AI got it right?

I would have gotten up and said β€œnope!” and walked out.

Hands-on: This tiny MagSafe controller brings real buttons and a retro feel to your iPhone Some of my earliest memories go back to the late 90s when the Game Boy Color launched. I remember being six or seven years old, walking into a store with my dad to pick up a Game Boy Color and a copy of PokΓ©mon Blue. I spent countless hours playing that Game Boy, and looking back, it played a major role in sparking the tech interest I still carry today. Fast forward to 2026, and mobile gaming has evolved in ways we could not have imagined back then. Touchscreens are incredibly capable, but nothing truly replaces the tactility of real buttons, and most controllers are not portable enough to justify carrying everywhere. So when I saw just how tiny and lightweight the abxylute M4 Snap-On Mobile Controller was, I knew I had to test it for myself. Here is what you should know. more…

The image is a digital painting of a small snowman at dusk, with a textured, hand-painted style. The snowman wears a red knit beanie with a white pom-pom and a matching red scarf. It has a carrot nose, a smile made of small black dots, two black buttons, and thin stick arms. It stands on snowy ground, in front of a string of glowing warm fairy lights that stretch across the foreground. The background features dark, snow-covered pine trees under a purple and orange sunset sky, with snow falling. In the bottom right corner, the signature "Stef" and the date "29 Dec 25" are visible.

The image is a cartoon illustration of a snowman from the chest up, set against a light blue background filled with white falling snowflakes. The snowman has a black top hat decorated with a sprig of green holly and red berries. It has two large black dot eyes, a long orange carrot nose, and a smile made of five smaller black dots. Around its neck is a red scarf with a white snowflake pattern. Three black buttons run down the front of its lower body. The snowman and snow have a textured, hand-drawn appearance. In the bottom right corner, the signature "Stef" and the date "15 Dec 25" are written in red.

The image is a digital illustration with a hand-painted texture, depicting a cozy fireplace scene. A white brick fireplace is the central element, with a fire burning and a large log inside a dark, arched hearth. Above the fireplace, a wooden mantel is decorated with a green garland adorned with red and yellow berries. Seven lit white candles stand in a row on the mantel. Hanging from the mantel are eight red stockings with white snowflake patterns and white cuffs. Each cuff features a red capital letter, from left to right: M, J, S, B, D, B, N, B. On the brown floor in front of the fireplace is a large red oval rug with a white border. The wall behind the fireplace is a deep green, and the entire scene is set against a light beige background. In the bottom right corner, the signature "Stef 27 Nov 25" is visible.

The image is a black and white linocut print of a hummingbird perched on a branch. The bird is rendered in a high-contrast style, with its dark body featuring white patterns, including scales on its back and streaks on its wings and tail. Its long beak points to the right. The branch it sits on is also black with white textural lines. The background is a textured, off-white paper. In the bottom right corner, the handwritten signature "Stef" and the date "8 Nov 25" are visible.

I'm months behind in posting my art. This is from November for my brother's birthday... I used one of his photos as my inspiration.

Been there, done that, don’t recommend doing it. It can be a struggle to get back into it.
