海外TECH	DEV Community	Optimizing Memory Usage of Python Applications	https://dev.to/martinheinz/optimizing-memory-usage-of-python-applications-2hh7	Optimizing Memory Usage of Python ApplicationsWhen it comes to performance optimization people usually focus only on speed and CPU usage Rarely is anyone concerned with memory consumption well until they run out of RAM There are many reasons to try to limit memory usage not just avoiding having your application crash because of out of memory errors In this article we will explore techniques for finding which parts of your Python applications are consuming too much memory analyze the reasons for it and finally reduce the memory consumption and footprint using simple tricks and memory efficient data structures Why Bother Anyway But first why should you bother saving RAM anyway Are there really any reason to save memory other than avoiding the aforementioned out of memory errors crashes One simple reason is money Resources both CPU and RAM cost money why waste memory by running inefficient applications if there are ways to reduce the memory footprint Another reason is the notion that data has mass if there s a lot of it then it will move around slowly If data has to be stored on disk rather than in RAM or fast caches then it will take a while to load and get processed impacting overall performance Therefore optimizing for memory usage might have a nice side effect of speeding up the application runtime Lastly in some cases performance can be improved by adding more memory if application performance is memory bound but you can t do that if you don t have any memory left on the machine Find BottlenecksIt s clear that there are good reasons to reduce memory usage of our Python applications before we do that though we first need to find the bottlenecks or parts of code that are hogging all the memory First tool we will introduce is memory profiler This tool measures memory usage of specific function on line by line basis pip install memory profiler psutil psutil is needed for better memory profiler performancepython m memory profiler some code pyFilename some code pyLine Mem usage Increment Occurrences Line Contents MiB MiB profile def memory intensive MiB MiB small list None MiB MiB big list None MiB MiB del big list MiB MiB return small listTo start using it we install it with pip along with psutil package which significantly improves profiler s performance In addition to that we also need to mark the function we want to benchmark with profile decorator Finally we run the profiler against our code using python m memory profiler This shows memory usage allocation on line by line basis for the decorated function in this case memory intensive which intentionally creates and deletes large lists Now that we know how to narrow down our focus and find specific lines that increase memory consumption we might want to dig a little deeper and see how much each variable is using You might have seen sys getsizeof used to measure this before This function however will give you questionable information for some types of data structures For integers or bytearrays you will get the real size in bytes for containers such as list though you will only get size of the container itself and not its contents import sysprint sys getsizeof print sys getsizeof print sys getsizeof print sys getsizeof a print sys getsizeof aa print sys getsizeof aaa print sys getsizeof print sys getsizeof print sys getsizeof yet empty list is and each value inside is We can see that with plain integers everytime we cross a threshold bytes are added to the size Similarly with plain strings everytime we add another character one extra byte is added With lists however this doesn t hold up sys getsizeof doesn t walk the data structure and only returns size of the parent object in this case list Better approach is to use specific tool designed for analyzing memory behaviour One such is tool is Pympler which can help you get more realistic idea about Python object sizes pip install pymplerfrom pympler import asizeofprint asizeof asizeof print asizeof asized detail format size flat size flat size flat size flat size flat size flat print asizeof asized string detail format string size flat size flat string size flat size flat size flat Pympler provides asizeof module with function of same name which correctly reports size of the list as well all values it contains Additionally this module also has asized function that can give us further size breakdown of individual components of the object Pympler has many more features though including tracking class instances or identifying memory leaks In case these are something that might be needed for your application then I recommend checking out tutorials available in docs Saving Some RAMNow that we know how to look for all kinds of potential memory issues we need to find a way to fix them Potentially quickest and easiest solution can be switching to more memory efficient data structures Python lists are one of the more memory hungry options when it comes to storing arrays of values from memory profiler import memory usagedef allocate size some var n for n in range size usage memory usage allocate int e e is to the power of peak max usage print f Usage over time usage Usage over time print f Peak usage peak Peak usage The simple function above allocate creates a Python list of numbers using the specified size To measure how much memory it takes up we can use memory profiler shown earlier which gives us amount of memory used in second intervals during function execution We can see that generating list of million numbers requires more than MiB of memory Well that seems like a lot for a bunch of numbers Can we do any better import arraydef allocate size some var array array l range size usage memory usage allocate int e peak max usage print f Usage over time usage Usage over time print f Peak usage peak Peak usage In this example we used Python s array module which can store primitives such as integers or characters We can see that in this case memory usage peaked at just over MiB That s a huge difference in comparison to list You can further reduce memory usage by choosing appropriate precision import arrayhelp array Arrays represent basic values and behave very much like lists except the type of objects stored in them is constrained The type is specified at object creation time by using a type code which is a single character The following type codes are defined Type code C Type Minimum size in bytes b signed integer B unsigned integer u Unicode character see note h signed integer H unsigned integer i signed integer I unsigned integer l signed integer L unsigned integer q signed integer see note Q unsigned integer see note f floating point d floating point One major downside of using array as data container is that it doesn t support that many types If you plan to perform a lot of mathematical operations on the data then you re probably better off using NumPy arrays instead import numpy as npdef allocate size some var np arange size usage memory usage allocate int e peak max usage print f Usage over time usage Usage over time print f Peak usage peak Peak usage More type options with NumPy data np ones int e np complex Useful helper functions print f Size in bytes data nbytes Size of array value count data size Size in bytes Size of array value count We can see that NumPy arrays also perform pretty well when it comes to memory usage with peak array size of MiB That s a bit more than array but with NumPy you can take advantage of fast mathematical functions as well as types that are not supported by array such as complex numbers The above optimizations help with overall size of arrays of values but we can make some improvements also to the size of the individual objects defined by Python classes This can be done using slots class attribute which is used to explicitly declare class properties Declaring slots on a class also has a nice side effect of denying creation of dict and weakref attributes from pympler import asizeofclass Normal passclass Smaller slots print asizeof asized Normal detail format lt main Normal object at xfccce gt size flat dict size flat class size flat print asizeof asized Smaller detail format lt main Smaller object at xfcf gt size flat class size flat Here we can see how much smaller the Smaller class instance actually is The absence of dict removes whole bytes from each instance which can save huge amount of memory when instantiating millions of values The above tips and tricks should be helpful in dealing with numeric values as well as class objects What about strings though How you should store those generally depends on what you intend to do with them If you re going to search through huge number of string values then as we ve seen using list is very bad idea set might be a bit more appropriate if execution speed is important but will probably consume even more RAM Best option might be to use optimized data structure such as trie especially for static data sets which you use for example for querying As is common with Python there s already a library for that as well as for many other tree like data structures some of which you will find at Not Using RAM At AllEasiest way to save RAM is to not use it in a first place You obviously can t avoid using RAM completely but you can avoid loading full data set at once and instead work with the data incrementally where possible The simplest way to achieve this is by using generators which return a lazy iterator which computes elements on demand rather than all at once Stronger tool that you can leverage is memory mapped files which allows us to load only parts of data from a file Python s standard library provides mmap module for this which can be used to create memory mapped files which behave both like files and bytearrays You can use them both with file operations like read seek or write as well as string operations import mmapwith open some data txt r as file with mmap mmap file fileno access mmap ACCESS READ as m print f Read using read method m read Read using read method b Lorem ipsum dol m seek Rewind to start print f Read using slice method m Read using slice method b Lorem ipsum dol Loading reading memory mapped file is very simple We first open the file for reading as we usually do We then use file s file descriptor file fileno to create memory mapped file from it From there we can access its data both with file operations such as read or string operations like slicing Most of the time you will be probably interested more reading the file as shown above but it s also possible to write to the memory mapped file import mmapimport rewith open some data txt r as file with mmap mmap file fileno as m Words starting with capital letter pattern re compile rb b A Z b for match in pattern findall m print match b Lorem b Morbi b Nullam Delete first characters start end length end start size len m new size size length m move start end size end m flush file truncate new size First difference in the code that you will notice is the change in access mode to r which denotes both reading and writing To show that we can indeed perform both reading and writing operations we first read from the file and then use RegEx to search for all the words that start with capital letter After that we demonstrate deletion of data from the file This is not as straightforward as reading and searching because we need to adjust size of the file when we delete some of its contents To do so we use move dest src count method of mmap module which copies size end bytes of the data from index end to index start which in this case translates to deletion of first bytes If you re doing computations in NumPy then you might prefer its memmap features docs which is suitable for NumPy arrays stored in binary files Closing ThoughtsOptimizing applications is difficult problem in general It also heavily depends on the task at hand as well as the type of data itself In this article we looked at common ways to find memory usage issues and some options for fixing them There are however many other approaches to reducing memory footprint of an application This includes trading accuracy for storage space by using probabilistic data structures such as bloom filters or HyperLogLog Another option is using tree like data structures like DAWG or Marissa trie which are very efficient at storing string

海外TECH	DEV Community	Understanding neural search framework: Jina AI	https://dev.to/aniket762/understanding-neural-search-framework-jina-ai-595n	Understanding neural search framework Jina AISearch is a big business and is getting bigger each day Just a few years down the line searching meant typing text in a search bar With advancement it now allows us to search for audio video images and many more Just before the turn of the millennium there were just million Google searches per day Today that figure is around billion searches per day Trust me or not Google search is dying If you have ever googled about recipes or even some blogs recently I don t need to tell you that Google search results have gone to shit You would have already noticed that the first few non ad results are SEO optimized sites filled with affiliate links and ads If you don t believe me give a read on what happened in Norway Here comes the need for a better search engine Just a bit about Symbolic Search ️Symbolic search works better when you want your search to be fully customized Google search is a general purpose search engine which cannot be used just everywhere If you have a team of developers who has the skill and time to jot down each parameter Symbolic search can be taken to heights Say you want to build a blog site where an author pays the team to show the blog on top so you might rank according to the need and the money flow goes well The hell lot of customization in indexing products searching users implementing filters and sorting along with more comes with a high cost You Have to Explain Every Little Thing and moreover Text is fragile Therefore If you are someone who plans to create the next search engine with more accurate results with fewer ads or affiliate links OR You are someone who wants to add search in your application be it in production or development you need to know this According to reports Google started using deep neural networks in the search engine in If you want to disrupt the industry with your build I suggest you check out Jina Let s get started What is a neural search In short a neural search is a new approach to retrieving information Instead of telling a machine a set of rules to understand what data is what neural search does the same thing with a pre trained neural network This means developers don t have to write every little rule saving them time and headaches and the system trains itself to get better as it goes along Where can it be fruitful In the early internet days it was really amazing for firms to build search engines that use text as the parameter and correspondingly pull and rank URLs from the web With the recent advancements in Deep Learning a neural search system can go beyond simple text search Let me take you through a not so techy situation You are sitting in a fancy restaurant and hear some beats which you like now you want to search for beats and songs which are similar to what you have heard neural search comes into play The very next moment you like the shinny tree upfront and you want to have it in your house just click a photo and search it you get the aptest results from it Starting from getting most similar furniture garments songs memes it can be used by any business and I can bet it is the future for search How I came to know about Jina Before starting with what is Jina AI I thought sharing this would make this more interesting Remember the time when Money Heist was releasing their final season and some companies gave holidays to employees to bid goodbye to the amazing series Jina was the first startup to do so according to my knowledge I was amazed by the company culture and went straight to their career portal without knowing about their product but at a point in time they were not hiring interns After visiting their GitHub I thought it to be an alternative to Elastic until I used it in my side project I wanted to build a small search engine for one of my software with having knowledge of AI I used K means clustering to build a basic AI model After resolving a hell of lot of bugs with integrations and model training I was waiting with an inefficient text search bar Then was the time I went straight to elastic and then Solr but at that point of time I wanted something different thus went for Jina AI and boom The quick implementation cloud native approach and accuracy made me a fanboy This blog is just an appreciation post for the amazing open source project What is Jina Jina AI is a cloud native neural search framework for any kind of DataJina is an approach to neural search It s cloud native so it can be deployed in containers and it offers anything to anything search Text to text image to image video to video or whatever else you can feed it It empowers anyone to build SOTA and scalable neural search applications in minutes Jina runs on fundamental concepts Document Executor and Flow What makes Jina different from other playersLocal amp Cloud friendly From the very beginning it had distributed architecture scalable and cloud native Ultimately which gave the same DX on local Docker Compose and Kubernetes Server Scale and Share It helps you to scale your applications to meet availability and throughput requirements Serves a local project with HTTP WebSockets or gRPC endpoints in just minutes Time Saver Let s you quickly build solutions for indexing querying understanding multi or cross modal documents The document is the basic data type that Jina operates with Video image text audio source code and PDFs are the types of document Own Stack Jina empowers to keep end to end ownership of your solution Avoid integration pitfalls you get with fragmented multi vendor generic legacy tools Move over Jina has out of the box integrations with cloud native ecosystems Outro There s no better way to test drive Jina than by diving in and playing with it Jina s team provides pre trained Docker images and jinabox js an easy to use front end for searching text images audio or video The purpose of the blog is to create awareness about Jina and similar neural search frameworks To learn further it is recommended to go through the Jina s GitHub and Jina s blogs In case you have some questions regarding the article or want to discuss something under the sun feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn If you run an organisation and want me to write for you please do connect with me	2022-02-28 19:29:26
海外TECH	DEV Community	Dividing Kotlin Multiplatform work in teams	https://dev.to/touchlab/dividing-kotlin-multiplatform-work-in-teams-2cad	Dividing Kotlin Multiplatform work in teamsKotlin Multiplatform is a great way to share code between multiple platforms but this new approach can be confusing to navigate There s a variety of sourceSets for platform specific code plus intermediate sourceSets such as mobileMain that cover multiple platforms at once One of the difficulties that can arise is how to divide work among your team This gets more difficult the larger your team is and the more platforms you re developing for It sounds straightforward at first the iOS developer works on the iOS code the javascript works on the JS code and so on In practice however you may run into unforeseen challenges ChallengesLanguages KMP is of course written in Kotlin but if you have iOS developers or Javascript developers that only know Swift or JS then there s going to be a learning curve Android Bias You may think if you re writing Kotlin code then get the Android developer to do it Not only are you pushing all the work on your Android devs but there s chances for Android biases in their code Conflicts If you have all devs working on their own platforms at the same time that can lead to conflicts when merging PRs and arguments about the best approach Assigning Tasks Beyond writing code there is an issue of issue tracking When assigning work how do you know who s working on what layers An Android task could include shared code So how do you assign work to multiple developers effectively without causing the team to step on each others toes Our ApproachThe best approach we ve found is to split up the work into two camps PlatformSpecificUI and KMPFor example if our project is written for Android iOS and JS we ll have four groups androidUI iosUI jsUI and KMPThis again may sound straightforward but there are some things worth mentioning First let s visualize the layers Here we can see the different layers in our example We have androidMain iOSMain jsMain mobileMain and commonMainSo in our example we have the four groups and their work androidUI works in androidMain and the Android layeriOSUI works in iosMain and the iOS layerjsUI works in the js layerKMP works in commonMain mobileMain and jsMainWith this approach all the platforms are dependent on the KMP groups work The common layer An ExampleSo as an example we want to add a new feature A new screen that fetches an image from an api and displays it when a button is pressed This feature will be on every platform and it s going to be tracked via an issue tracker Above we have an example of what your architecture might look like a lot at first but let s go over it In Android we have Fragment gt ViewModel gt Coordinator gt Repo gt network apiA button is pressed in the Fragment an action is sent to the ViewModel which using a coroutine calls the coordinator The coordinator then gets the image from the repository and processes it to bring back to the ui A similar flow can be seen for iOS and Javascript but with their own implementations In this example we have the interfaces RepositoryCommon and Api which are then implemented platform specific Splitting the workYou may be asking why the jsUI doesn t work in jsMain while the other two groups work in their respective sourceSets It s better to think of it in this way The KMP group is working on the common code and its implementationsIn the example above the KMP group is working on the CommonRepository as well as the implementations They even work on the next level up The Coordinator and js Service The Coordinator and service are still in business logic and despite having their own platforms they are still using shared libraries Why this approachThis approach prevents some of the issues mentioned prior No platform delays Since all the platform specific work relies on the KMP groups work there is no one platform that has an extra workload and all platforms start at the same starting line Increasing Platform Knowledge The KMP group creating the groundwork for all the different platforms means that they can grow their knowledge of all the platforms in development No conflicts All the platforms relying on the common layer ensures that all the platforms are in agreement with the business logic before working on the platform specific code Note With this method all platform developers would review and approve this foundational code to make sure it fits all their requirements This also helps maintain feature parity across platforms and avoid platform biases Platform EqualityOne key issue that I think a lot of KMP developers struggle with is platform equality It s easy to start with the Android implementation since it s in Kotlin and the KMP library is easily debuggable This approach puts a focus on Android and other platforms can lose out because of it They re seen as afterthoughts and don t get as much focus as Android A small example is that lists are not supported in KotlinJS so if the developer starts using lists in the android implementation they may not notice until the JS project is built One of the advantages to having one group work in KMP is that it gives even attention to every platform as the KMP developer has to write code with all the platforms in mind Layer InterminglingThere are some issues that may come up especially when working between business and UI logic Developers have different levels of experience in languages and Platforms so crossing the bridge between logic layers can be tricky Examples of these issues are Platform specifics shared code can still call platform libraries such as iosMain calling Foundation so Kotlin developers may not know these libraries Different Languages In our approach platform developers are working in Kotlin sourceSets i e an iOS developer has to work in iOSMain An iOS dev may be familiar with UIKit and Swift but is unsure how to write the code in Kotlin In cases like this where a there is an intersection between shared code and platform specific code pair programming is a great option Not only does it ensure that the code meets both sides requirements but it encourages knowledge sharing The KMP developer working on the shared code can create a base implementation then work alongside the platform specific developer to find the best approach to the issue All the while both developers are sharing their knowledge of Kotlin and platform specific code DownsidesThe main downside to this approach is that the KMP dev cannot easily test their implementation For example if they are writing a network call and tries to serialize it into what they think the format is it s only until one of the platform developers implements the call that they will realize it s incorrect One way to get ahead of this issue is to create tests whenever possible Testing network layers can be tricky but writing some form of test to make sure your code works for the platforms will help nip these issues in the bud If there is an issue like this then it should be communicated with the team so that the other platform developers know that there is an issue and the team can work to resolve the bug ConclusionEvery team is different and every project is different While this approach may not suit everyone at Touchlab we have found that it can help organize work and increase knowledge sharing Thanks for reading Let me know in the comments if you have questions Also you can reach out to me at kevinschildhorn on Twitter or on the Kotlin Slack And if you find all this interesting maybe you d like to work with or work at Touchlab	2022-02-28 19:02:28

GCP	Cloud Blog	Vertex Forecast: An overview	https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/developers-practitioners/vertex-forecast-overview/	Vertex Forecast An overviewA retailer needs to predict product demand or sales a call center manager wants to predict the call volume to hire more representatives a hotel chain requires hotel occupancy predictions for next season and a hospital needs to forecast bed occupancy Vertex Forecast provides accurate forecasts for these and many other business forecasting use cases Click to enlarge Univariate vs multivariate datasetsForecasting datasets come in many shapes and sizes  In univariate data sets a single variable is observed over a period of time For example the famousAirline Passenger dataset Box and Jenkins Times Series Analysis Forecasting and Control p is a canonical example of a univariate time series data set In the graph below you can see an updated version of this time series that shows clear trend variations and seasonal patterns source US Department of Transportation Monthly Air Passengers in the US from to More often business forecasters are faced with the challenge of forecasting large groups of related time series at scale using multivariate datasets A typical retail or supply chain demand planning team has to forecast demand for thousands of products across hundreds of locations or zip codes leading to millions of individual forecasts Infrastructure SRE teams have to forecast consumption or traffic for hundreds or thousands of compute instances and load balancing nodes Similarly financial planning teams often need to forecast revenue and cash flow from hundreds or thousands of individual customers and lines of business  Forecasting algorithmsThe most popular forecasting methods today are statistical models Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average ARIMA models for example are widely used as a classical method for forecasting BigQuery ML offers an advanced ARIMA model for forecasting use cases BQARIMA is perfect for univariate forecasting use cases see this great tutorial on how to forecast a single time series from the Google Analytics public data set   More recently  deep learning models have been gaining a lot of popularity for forecasting applications For example the winners of the last M competition all used neural networks and ensembles There is ongoing debate on when to apply which methods but it s becoming increasingly clear that neural networks are here to stay for forecasting applications Why use deep learning models for forecasting Deep learning s recent success in the forecasting space is because they are Global Forecasting Models Unlike univariate i e local forecasting models for which a separate model is trained for each individual time series in a data set a Deep Learning time series forecasting model can be trained simultaneously across a large data set of s or s of unique time series This allows the model to learn from correlations and metadata across related time series such as demand for groups of related products or traffic to related websites or apps While many types of ML models can be used as GFM Deep Learning architectures such as the ones used for Vertex Forecast are also able to ingest different types of features such as text data categorical features and covariates that are not known in the future These capabilities make Vertex Forecast ideal for situations where there are very large and varying numbers of time series and use cases like short lifecycle and cold start forecasts Univariate vs Global Forecasting Models Click to enlarge What is Vertex Forecast You can build forecasting models in Vertex Forecast using advanced AutoML algorithms for neural network architecture search Vertex Forecast offers automated preprocessing of your time series data so instead of fumbling with data types and transformations you can just load your dataset into BigQuery or Vertex and AutoML will automatically apply common transformations and even engineer features required for modeling Most importantly it searches through a space of multiple Deep Learning layers and components such as attention dilated convolution gating and skip connections It then evaluates hundreds of models in parallel to find the right architecture or ensemble of architectures for your particular dataset using time series specific cross validation and hyperparameter tuning techniques generic automl tools are not suitable for time series model search and tuning purposes because they induce leakage into the model selection process leading to significant overfitting  This process requires lots of computational resources but the trials are run in parallel dramatically reducing the total time needed to find the model architecture for your specific dataset In fact it typically takes less time than setting up traditional methods Best of all by integrating Vertex Forecast with Vertex Workbench and Vertex Pipelines you can significantly speed up the experimentation and deployment process of GFM forecasting capabilities reducing the time required from months to just a few weeks and quickly augmenting your forecasting capabilities from being able to process just basic time series inputs to complex unstructured and multimodal signals  For a more in depth look into Vertex Forecast check out this video  For more GCPSketchnote follow the GitHub

海外TECH	DEV Community	5 Mistakes I’ve Made as a Junior Flutter Developer	https://dev.to/bornfightcompany/5-mistakes-ive-made-as-a-junior-flutter-developer-55id	Mistakes I ve Made as a Junior Flutter DeveloperSo you want to learn Flutter Maybe you ve seen a cool job opening for Flutter developers or wanted to try how it compares to native development of Android or iOS apps You ve started learning Flutter and it seemed pretty cool right You wanted to learn more and more and the hunger for Flutter knowledge doesn t stop Well it might be a time to slow down and reflect on what you ve learned Maybe try to be a bit self critical See what could ve been done better After all Flutter is a new technology and many times there isn t a right or wrong answer Here are some mistakes I made as a Junior Flutter Developer   Ignoring native developmentA few years before I started learning Flutter I started developing Android apps using Kotlin Unfortunately it didn t last long because I was a student and didn t have enough free time to further increase my Android skills Today I can see clearly that the basics of both Android and iOS would be a useful background Maybe it isn t the worst mistake not to learn native development but it sure does help As you develop more and more Flutter projects you ll find yourself opening android and ios folders more often Sometimes you may have to tweak native code to get desired behavior A good example would be implementing native splash screens although nowadays there is a package for everything Overall it is generally considered a good practice to have experience with native development before starting Flutter Surely it isn t a must to get you going with Flutter but at some point you ll need to understand the concepts of native development   Not making everything a widgetOne way of implementing a DRY principle in programming is always extracting a repeating logic into a function This led me to extracting repeating UI components into functions but I ve realized soon that this kind of approach is no good Flutter is a bit different in that way Since we want our app to be as performant as it can be we need to minimize the amount of rebuilds it s making For example imagine having a screen with a button that is changing color on click Performance wise you d only want to rebuild that button when the color has changed If you use something like the code below the whole screen will rebuild every time Scaffold body Column children ElevatedButton style ElevatedButton styleFrom primary color onPressed setState changeColor child const Text Button The key is to extract that button in a separate widget and move the color changing logic into that new widget As you call setState only that widget will be rebuilt and the rest won t Now it probably doesn t sound that important but when you have some heavy computing happening and or the screen itself is rebuilding frequently animations can be performance heavy there is a possibility that the app will lag To further understand this topic I would recommend this video I myself started to use this approach only after seeing this video yes I m ashamed because I never to that day had a reason to optimize my app   Lack of state managementIf you ve read my previous mistake you may wonder how you can change the color of our button widget from another widget that is higher in widget tree What happens if some other component needs to change the color of the button Well the solution to that problem isn t trivial That s why we use state management solutions Some of the most popular state management solutions are Provider Riverpod BLoC and GetX When I first started my Flutter journey I only used setState as my state management approach As far as I think it isn t bad to start that way because then you know exactly what happens with your widgets and how Flutter is rebuilding and drawing your screens As soon as you start making more complex apps everything will become a mess You ll have trouble finding anything in your code since it will probably be spaghetti code The best way to clean that mess is to implement a state management solution That way you ll decouple UI components from the business logic and everything will have its place in your project I personally started with BLoC but didn t find it that helpful nor simple A few months ago I was introduced to Riverpod and never looked back Anyway it s a matter of personal preference and you should find what works for you and stick with it   Using too many packagesFlutter is a framework developed with simplicity in mind If you aren t new to Flutter you ve probably heard There is a package for everything and yes there almost literally is When developing a new feature chances that someone already implemented it and made a package for others to reuse it are pretty high It s as simple as plug n play Of course if you want to become a good Flutter developer and know what s happening under the hood of those packages you ll probably want to implement it yourself It might be time consuming but it is the best way to actually learn fundamentals When I first started learning Flutter I was a victim of this mistake myself I would start working on a new feature and the first thought that would cross my mind was Let s check if there is a package for that Unfortunately the package was there in of situations Just later I realized that no package is without its flaws Imagine the situations where you need to develop a feature which already has a package dedicated for it but it just lacks that little thing that you need You have no choice but to write it on your own Having experience doing things yourself will definitely come in handy   Not being consistentFlutter provides you with package flutter lints in every new project by default if you are using Flutter pre or newer It provides the latest set of recommended lints that encourage good coding practices When I first started I wanted to learn as much as possible and go through the Flutter framework as quickly as I could The result of that was inconsistent code with a lot of bad practices which were error prone My life changed when I started using the lint package No more single quotes double quotes dilemma Choose one and stick with it Personally I use single quotes in Flutter projects because imports are automatically added with single quotes Functions without return types don t exist anymore I started avoiding using var And so on and so forth Personal favorite lints of mine are always declare return types and always specify types Introduction of lints in my projects made my code cleaner better and most important more consistent Like in every other project or anything you do in life consistency is key  To conclude don t be discouraged if you are making some of these mistakes as well but always strive to learn more and do more These were my top mistakes and I hope you can learn from them because I most certainly did Feel free to share some of the mistakes you ve made when starting with Flutter	2022-02-28 20:03:12
