Flutter Downsize :( 🦆

Google is only good at two things,

1 = renaming projects
2 =killing very, very popular, very, very influential, very widely used projects.

Unfortunately, it looks like this week on the chopping block was people from the Flutter team.
But I worry, because flutter, far and away, is one of the best tools for nearly native mobile development.

Now, they haven't announced anything saying that they're actually going to kill Flutter, but any downsides in that team is definitely cause for concern.

And fun fact, some of the best renames of different projects that Google has had over the years.
Hangouts then became Google Chat, which then became Google Meet, which I think was renamed back to Hangouts.
Google play music is now google YouTube music.
Android tv is now, you guessed it, google tv.
Android wear is now wear Os.
