Flutter… is great. I find it much easier to get things done in flutter than I did in Android. It also has the added benefit of being cross-platform which I appreciate. I wanted to do a little more research on the theory behind Maslow’s hierarchy of needs so I could…

I like psychology. I think that if I hadn’t chosen software development, I would have studied psychology.
