Three months ago I noticed something.
Ethiopian AI startups were shipping real products. Real APIs. Real intelligence.
But Flutter devs? We were stuck reading raw docs, wiring endpoints, fixing edge cases alone.
So I built a Flutter SDK for Hasab AI.
Didn’t expect much.
People loved it.
That moment told me something important
This ecosystem doesn’t lack talent.
It lacks bridges.
So I kept going.
Today, I’m releasing Addis AI Flutter SDK.
Same mission. Cleaner execution. Better DX.
Flutter devs shouldn’t struggle to use local AI.
It should feel native. Simple. Obvious.

Ordered my lunch and got this card along with it. I think this is the best way to ask for review. Natural, Authentic and Real. This should be adopted in some of our companies as well as a means of getting feedback.
I’m giving them nice review tbh the food is really good to begin with and with the card 👌.

I’ve been attending a few talks this week. I’ll share the summaries in the upcoming days.

I was listening to Ezra Debugging talk and he talked about the rubber duck thingy. It reminded me of a time my friend used me as one to debug his code 😭. Of course I gave him some theories but now I remember it I had no context of it and I was suggesting based on the context he had and I was questioning his assumptions because I didn’t have the context and because of that I had no assumptions. We were able to get actionable tasks from the talk. Though I was a bit useful, but I was still the rubber duck 🤦♂️ .

Does anyone know anything about AI in browser things??? More about AI agents in browser how they work and things like that?
So I was planning to take partial time off day next week Tuesday because I have some appointment to attend to.
I asked my boss whether I should mark that day as a time off day or excused day. Context: if I take a partially time off day it’ll be deducted from the time off days I’ve this year and same goes for excused day from my excused days.
So my boss calls me and says you sure you wanna take a time off day or excused day? I was like do I have another choice 🙄. Then he said you can mark on your calendar that you’ve a private appointment from this to this and that should be fine.
Me being me are you sure boss 👀? And he was like yep I just don’t want you to waste your time off days and excused days on smtg that takes less than half a day.
These little things are the things that makes me wanna work to prove that I’m worth his trust. May be we should apply this if we’re in some leadership position whether you’re a big manager or small team lead. The principle applies.
But don’t spoils those brats 😂.

Istg some ppl are born to give you a heart attack 😭. My advisor just asked me how my tomorrow’s appointment went. Me being me and knowing my brain I was like f**k did I confuse the date in my 2gb brain and checked again after having a heart attack for 1 minute. Thankfully I didn’t mix up. I was about to cry literally.
