With so much misinformation circulating about Dart & Flutter I feel a need to clarify. Facts:
- No strategy changes.
- No change in team size; some DevOps roles moving to new locations.
- 2024 roadmap continues.
Now I'll get back to the product!

The Flutter Force is strong 🌕⚡!!
Welcome back Seth; so great to have your skills, vision, and strong experience (incl. past in Dart DevRel and Flutter product) back with us in our lovely team!
Thrilled to be rejoining the @FlutterDev team this week! 🎉 The accomplishments by the amazing Flutter community has truly transformed app development, and I can't wait to dive back in and contribute to what's next for our ecosystem.
A heartfelt thank you ❤️ to my old team,
It's not everyday that I get to watch a next-gen product, but when I do, it's usually one built using Flutter!
I really look forward to seeing this concept evolving.
