A New Flutter Way-MobileEntertianToTeach

It sucks to have ADHD when you relate to app UI design via how
you control your ADHD and mainstream firms just do not
get what the mobile apps eating all apps in the world
movement means and that they better adapt or face
extinction

But than again, despite not having money right now I know
when the next billions and trillions in dollars will be in the
future of app development and design. All due to me seeing a web of
inter-connections between my ADHD, design, coding, human
learning, how the brain works, and social development in
humans.

Basically, Google’s Flutter App Framework for all app move means
that Google envisions that the mobile app way of designing an
UI and the app to entertain and teach the user about a
platform with 5 billion mobile app users will be the way
all future apps are designed and implemented. AND, some of
you thought it was just to do a better React framework than
Facebook. Its way bigger than that competing against
facebook for developer and designer mindshare.

The days of the traditional bloated app hard to use on
the desktop and web are numbered and will not last too
much longer.

With my ADHD, I have to change things so that what I want
to work on at the moment is more interesting to me than
other stuff around me. Picture this I use to be
schooled in an open office environment which sucked because
too me the people around me were more interesting than the
teacher.

In short words I have to make what I want to do more
entertaining so that I will focus on it. In the modern
world with people exposed to non literary entertainment
everything has to become more entertaining to hold
a person’s focus and attention. Notice that
this integrates with the new mobile app approach and in
fact the Flutter App Framework approach as well.

I emphatically say us developers and designers now have
to become the code-and-designer-entertainer-and-teacher
not just to the app users but to all the human layers
above the app artifacts such as the app stakeholders
in the company, the junior devs and jnuior designers we
should want to mentor and train, the marketers, the
VPs, etc.

Its not the internal company users as serfs anymore way of
developing internal IT apps. Its not the oh we will make
a clone of someone else’s app and just pray that it will
work out. Its what story can we tell that in an entertaining
way presents something really very new and we have to do that
with the visual Ui and the workflow of the app and now here is the
kicker we have to do it with the other non-code artifacts of the
app and now we have to make the code and even the UI declared in
code entertaining to the junior devs and junior designers on the
team as part of the mentoring process.

Now the bad news, CTOs, VPs, CEOs, CPO,s etc reading this I cannot
do it the old CTO way anymore. Its out-dated and its about time
we really kill that way of building an app. Not just the
IBM-waterfall stuff as no one is that stupid to develop
an app that way anymore.

Its all that rigid bullsh*t of you do it my way because the CTO holds
power and the new commer cannot know anything. Nope, its like Steve Jobs
was so often heard to state, we hire smart people to tell us what to do.
You hire me to DO the UI-App DO now get out of my way and start listening
to this mobile entertain-to-teach UI-and-APp design implementation
trend that is the future of all app design and app coding.

Side Note: I would like to find some startup cofounders that understand
where apps are headed to in adopting the mobile entertain to teach
user approach to app development and design and would not mind to
share views and discussions of what the full React Flutter
App Framework brings to the StartUp toolbox. You can
