After google freeze Flutter team head count,
A labor shortage can always be fixed through hiring. However, due to
company-wide issues at Google, the Flutter team's head count was frozen
circa 2023, and then earlier in 2024 we learned of a small number of
layoffs. It seems that the team may now be expanding again, through
outsourcing, but we're not likely to see the Flutter team double or
quadruple its size any time soon.
To make matters worse, Google's corporate re-focus on AI caused the Flutter
team to de-prioritize all desktop platforms. As we speak, the Flutter team
is in maintenance mode for 3 of its 6 supported platforms. Desktop is quite
possibly the greatest untapped value for Flutter, but it's now mostly
stagnant.
The golang team has the same problem, If google continue freeze head count,
or cut the job.
let's see what will happen.
Time will told you what will be.
