Too many AI tools, not enough time to test them all.
Ruby Wahome, Yuanita Khaduri, Virah Kimani and Anthony Waweru share what’s worth keeping.

☕💙 Fuelling the conversations between the sessions.
Big thanks to @typesense for sponsoring ALL the coffee & snacks at #droidconKE × #FlutterconKE 2026, back for a second year! 🙌
The hallway is where the magic happens: the question you didn’t get to ask the speaker, the bug someone else already solved, the intro that turns into your next job. All of it over a cup of coffee. ☕💻

Cross-platform abstractions leak. For long-term codebases, native-only engineering is the ultimate future-proof bet.

If AI agents are so good at writing code especially native code, do we really need cross platform?? Do we???
Come listen to this talk on it! 😂😂😂

Have you seen @SiroFromKe actually giving a talk, this time he went beyond stacks and rewrote an app from flutter to native!
The migration has already begun 😂😂😂🤣🤣
