I am Kisor. One attention deficit developer.

By day I work with aspnet and cloud. I tinker with other programming languages and frameworks occasionally. I will break into open source any day now.

  • It helped me. I jumped into AWS positions without any certifications. I was fine as long as I stuck what I needed to do. However, every time I had to work around a limitation of the architecture or come up with a strategy, it felt difficult as I had no context outside of the few services I touched. So I did the solution architecture cert and then the dev associate to understand how things are being planned in my project and plan and strategize better.






  • Regarding the life is never fair thing, there is a beautiful sequence in Little Miss Sunshine that goes into this.

    Spent twenty years writing a book almost no one reads. But … he was also probably the greatest writer since Shakespeare. Anyway, he gets down to the end of his life, he looks back and he decides that all the years he suffered – those were the best years of his life. Because they made him who he was. They forced him to think and grow, and to feel very deeply. And the years he was happy? Total waste. Didn’t learn anything.




  • I would love to do this and I will explore this.

    What I have most issue with is the imperative mood — So many devs (in one case a very well-spoken EM), just say Added so and so changes instead of Add so and so changes.

    I would like to know if this type of thing can be detected in a githook. What I usually do is educate the team I lead, but it all breaks/becomes harder when we either join another team for a duration or some other teams’ senior devs join our team(s).



  • I am a .NET dev and love the language, ecosystem, tooling and recently their open source initiatives. Few things that frustrate me. Here are my whines:

    • Naming of framework — asp.net core / asp.net could have been one word say, Katana.
    • Language features — I am still comfortable with C#6 or may be a few things from C#7. I know I do not have to use all new stuff, but I feel left out. Too much inertia as of now to get over the hump.
    • I wanted to break into GUI stuff for long time, but there is no clear path. Avalonia is good and I hope the documentation becomes good as explained by Mike in a recent podcast.
    • The company I work for has an initiative of OSP Open Source Practice. I feel bad that .NET/C# is not included in this ever. OSP only means Java, Python and probably Go. It is a nitpick, but MS has done so much to make .NET open source, yet even technology oriented companies think of MS development platform as a closed system.
