We have millions of non-technical ppl believe that they are equipped to create software that works as they imagined, using AI + vibe coding
...only to crash and burn.

Did you know?
With VSCode, you can easily move your Dart classes and functions to a different file.
To use this, select any declaration name and press CMD+., then use the Move option.
The desired file will be created with all the required imports. 👍
