In 2024, I used AI to write a web service in Python. I also developed a mobile app in Flutter that consumes the web service. I had never written anything in Flutter, nor had I ever built any mobile apps. The experience blew me away. To wrap things up, I used AI to help me write a 14-part blog series. It can be found on my consulting website here.
It was a truly remarkable experience. I built things in 1/10th the amount of time it would have taken me, otherwise.
The Seattle Lakes app provides real-time temperatures for Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish in King County, WA. It also provides record all-time highs and lows, and the current month’s highs and lows for Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish and Lake Union. It can be downloaded from the Apple Store here and from the Google Play store here. Developed using Google’s Flutter framework, which produces Objective-C and Kotlin, iOS and Android mobile applications from a single code base.
I developed the open-source Seattle Lakes Temperature Service with the help of AI (ChatGPT, Gemini). This service gathers historical record-high and record-low lake water temperatures. It also collects real-time temperatures for Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish from King County Washington data sources.
