How AI Agents Struggle with Flutter: 7 Gaps Experience Still Closes

We let agents write a large share of our Flutter code, and we review a lot of Flutter written by agents nobody supervised. The difference is not typing speed — it is seven decisions an unsupervised agent gets wrong every single time: it recomputes derived state instead of keeping one source of truth, ships no tests or benchmarks, wires complex async into if-pyramids instead of streams, treats design tokens as constants instead of a Theme, invents a new UX vocabulary on every screen, concatenates strings where ICU is required, and simplifies uniformly instead of knowing where complexity has to stay. Here is what each one looks like in Dart, why the agent lands there, and what we do instead.

How We Built a Real-Time Fintech App with Flutter and Go

The engineering behind ExtraETF — how we fan live market data out to many clients with a Go WebSocket service, how we build performant financial charts natively in Flutter, and the tradeoffs we would revisit in 2026.

How We Ship 20+ Branded Apps From One Flutter Codebase — and Survive Apple 4.2.6

Most "white-label" app shops just reskin one binary — and Apple guideline 4.2.6 rejects exactly that. Here is the architecture we use to ship 20+ genuinely distinct branded apps from a single Flutter codebase: per-tenant authentication and server-driven content that make each app a real standalone product, not a duplicate.

How We Build With AI: Architecture and Flexibility Over Keystrokes

AI now writes a large share of the code in any serious shop — 84% of developers use it daily. We lean into that on purpose. Letting agents produce the code frees our engineers to do the work AI is worst at: architecture, flexibility, and the whole-system decisions that determine whether software survives its second year. Here is how we actually build in 2026, why we moved the human effort up the stack, and how we keep AI-written code from turning into the tangled codebases we audit every week.

AI Code Audit Findings: 6 Problems in Almost Every AI-Built Codebase

Your AI-built app may already be live, and the security holes are only half the story. As the same six engineering problems pile up — no tests, rampant duplication, no consistent architecture, callback hell, no awareness of the deployment environment, and secrets in plain sight — the codebase gets so tangled that even an AI agent can no longer keep implementing changes safely. That is exactly why an audit is needed: here is what each problem looks like, why AI produces it, and how we fix it.

Shipping an AI-Built Prototype to Production: What Breaks and How to Fix It

Your Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, or ChatGPT prototype works in the demo and breaks in production. Here is the founder's playbook for the three things that go wrong — security holes, API overspend, and data leaks — and how an AI-generated code audit closes the gap.
