I met Eric Seidel

2 minute read Published:

I met Pavan quite early in 2012. We then got along trying to mod, replace stock ROM and etc etc.

he came to my house once and we were filming a video for how to root/replace the ROM for Galaxy Y. There was another friend of mine, Kaustubh. he once told me about the bootloader mode. Whoaaa!. (he was one of the guys who had early access to devices at that time.)

Pavan and I.. we were messing with some other projects and stumbled upon a skia based project, which was a weather app and the team at Google was trying to test Dart and skia on Android. This is early 2013-14. We both tried it.. And guess what? It just disappeared from the whole of Internet.. maybe people didn’t make a note of it.

It was 2019, Sec 2. I was talking to Pranil Save about dividing flutter programming into chapters.

This is 2024, sept. I just met Eric. he is the creator of Flutter. We talked for 5 mins. I told him about the weather app from 2015(9 years ago)… and he reciprocated on that. It made me feel so so goooooooood. He shared few things. adviced me.. And he was one of the most humble guys I have ever met on the planet when it came to tech.

Can you imagine? I am starstruck. A fan boy.

best,
