Hi! 👋 I'm Miguel Beltran, a freelance dev specialized in: Flutter, Android, iOS, and more.

I'm always open to work opportunities that involve open-source code.

Honestamente, me encanta el skeumorphism bien hecho.
Los markers Copic tienen una app que es PRECIOSA.
Entiendo que la adopción a escala del flat design se debe en parte en lo fácil que es desarrollar productos con ese.

You were not joking, it does work well indeed. I love the little TODO list it creates each time asked to do something.

At least it works on VS Code! My biggest issue with Cursor is being forced to switch to a fork (that's only distributed as AppImage on Linux...)

I think it is promising, but the delivery has been catastrophic. The gradual return to skeumorphism is a recession indicator.

I would disagree that prices will drop. If anything, they would go up. None of these services are profitable. GH Copilot only made 500 million USD revenue last year, while they are spending billions in building this.

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.

all AI images have that yellowish hue

wait people run out of tokens with Cursor? Never happened to me 🤭

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.

Mi padre que está jubilado tiene 1300 horas en el juego 😅

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

(me lo he instalado de nuevo solo por este comment jaja)

Me enganché bastante, pero tiene cosas muy frustrantes (que seguramente yo hacía 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 altísimo para incentivar el ir a currar allí

oh yes, I think that was it!

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

what an absolute chaos lmao

Having Copilot help review PRs is probably my favorite use of AI

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.
