56. Thomas Burkhart

Born 1971 Thomas Burkhart could be seen almost as a legacy system. Being almost 30 years in this industry led him to a lot of different technologies, like C++ with mfc, C#, microcontrollers in C and currently mobile App development with Flutter and Dart. Having been a vocal AI sceptic for a long time he now fully embraced agent based development. What only view people know that he was also a professional magician and moved from Germany to Colombia to start a new live. # Sharing Me https://sharingme.app # Flutter It https://flutter-it.dev Discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/FlutterDev/comments/1qt8t4r/new_episode_of_the_its_all_widgets_flutter/

55. David Morgan

David Morgan, aka "Morgan :)", is a software engineer at Google, where he's been writing Dart code professionally since before Dart 1. Most of that work has remained Google internal, but some has made it to the open source world, in particular the packages "built_collection" and "built_value" for immutable data models. At the start of 2025, following the cancellation of the macros language feature, he started working full time on "build_runner" and related packages with the goal of delivering as much as possible of what users were hoping for from macros as incremental improvements to Dart codegen. # The You Tube skip button and objects models with package:source_gen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMeJxWltoVo # The new AdWords UI uses Dart — we asked why https://news.dartlang.org/2016/03/the-new-adwords-ui-uses-dart-we-asked.html # Build discussions on GitHub https://github.com/dart-lang/build/discussions Discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/FlutterDev/comments/1n2g7qh/the_latest_episode_of_the_its_all_widgets_flutter/
