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.

attn_dfct_dev,

This is for 0mq right? I remember reading Pieter Hintjens about this realization he had over a long time of developing 0mq.

attn_dfct_dev,

From Nowhere to Now here!

Congrats.

attn_dfct_dev,

Is there a static typed equivalent of Python? Not MyPy, but a static Pythonic language.

attn_dfct_dev,

I learnt of Kevin Mitnick from HN many years ago. I was pleasantly surprised to see him as the face of a company’s in-house security trainings. May he be at peace.

Looks great, thanks for the rec.

attn_dfct_dev,

I enjoyed all the 90% of pros for the first 1.5 years. Then my personality seemed to have changed over, after a bout of Covid. So I now enjoy a hybrid model, with some meticulous commute planning. I live close by, but it still takes me 30 minutes overall. However, I tune out all the traffic and enjoy self-reflection.

Pros and Cons:

  • Picking up my kid is the only one pro I seem to like anymore.
  • I stopped having my regular walks, so I try to go at least 2 days per week.
  • Another short term con — Pushed myself to be more and more independent, making it difficult to survive in Agile software development. In the long term, this is turning out to be a pro, since I am working on my cloud and devops skills. The $company might push me out since I reject these Agile kind of roles, but it might end up helping me.
  • I have become more and more reclusive, isolated and lonely, so I go to the workplace to walk a bit, commune and retain sanity.
attn_dfct_dev,

Great tip. This is simple enough to use on the daily.

attn_dfct_dev,

Programming.dev with local filter is a good replacement for /r/programming for me. I am loving it here.

attn_dfct_dev,

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.

attn_dfct_dev,

committing to a commit message standard (see: https://cbea.ms/git-commit/)

I am almost giving up on this except for personal projects. I still use this as much as possible even in work projects. But most enterprise clients even the ones from US and UK don't seem to care about this anymore.

attn_dfct_dev,

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).

attn_dfct_dev,

I would love to annoy some people with this. But seriously, thank you for the recommendation. This is incredible.

attn_dfct_dev,

Just read on HN about Svelte 3 having very less specific syntax and being closer to HTML/JS/CSS. That is a great win IMHO. Now, this upgrade looks promising.

attn_dfct_dev,

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.

The Grand Unified Theory of Documentation (AKA: Your project needs all 4 types or you have bad documentation) (documentation.divio.com)

The mistake most devs make when trying to document their project is that they only make one (maybe two) types of documentation based on a readme template and/or what their mental model of a newcomer needs....

attn_dfct_dev,

I feel like the original source for this is diataxis.fr.

attn_dfct_dev,

Hey, I just found that it is common to think that divio plagiarized from diataxis. It is not. A person at divio came up with this and asked permission to spin it off into its own website.

I just learned this from footnote at this article: hillelwayne.com/…/problems-with-the-4doc-model/#f…

attn_dfct_dev,

Hello and excellent news. I realized just now that these are features are exclusive to programming.dev which is awesome. Good work!
