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.


  • 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.









  • 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).
