I injured my knee after climbing. Not really sure how, but definitely some twisting motion.

March 18th - initial injury. No visible swelling. Was able to extend knee sitting down with no locking or pain. However when attempting to stand on knee, it would produce pain. Attempting to straighten knee resulted in stiffness and discomfort.

March 23rd - Pain gone, only stiffness

March 29th - went for run, no pain, a little stiffness afterwards. During this period I more or less continued to run and climb the same. I did a bunch of step down exercises, avoided squats. But I probably did climb harder than I should have. Overall though I didn’t notice discomfort during this period.

April 23rd - went for a 6 mile run, stiffness afterwards.

April 29th - went climbing, stiffness afterwards

May 1st (today) - went for a long walk, light sensation in right knee. Likely from previous climbing session. Performed Thessaly and McMurray test.

Thessaly produced a light buzz sensation in the knee. No pain or locking. McMurray, while rotating foot to the right while extending my leg, noticed a repeatable pop sound from knee. No pain or locking.

Moving forward definitely gonna take it more chill and really focus on rehab. I thought after it initially got better that I was in the clear but I guess I aggravated it. I already have an appointment scheduled to get it checked out.

Not really sure what it could be at this point since there were no serious symptoms like I read online.

Hey all

I've been a Flutter dev at a mid-sized company for a couple of years now. I've owned projects, feel strong in my capabilities, and feel like I'm ready to move beyond my current position.

Whenever I try to look for positions though, many of them ask for 5/8+ years of experience. And it feels bad because I feel on-par with most of the devs at my company, but don't know how to communicate that. I've listed my accomplishments on my resume and actually got a good number of interviews last year.

It seems like Flutter jobs are hard to come by. And yes, while I realize being a well-rounded SWE is far more important than being a frameworker, that doesn't help you get past ATS systems. And oftentimes it feels like my lack of YOE shuts down many conversations.

I love Dart, and the Flutter community is great, but man it's tough. I know a lot of people in a similar boat.
