I've had this linked in my work's C# guidelines for a while. It's a very useful authoritative source whenever someone decides to do something weird in async land.
FYI this is written by David Fowler, who is personally responsible for the creation of ASP.NET Core, SignalR & Nuget (maybe?).

- Kuinox 2y agoAre you sure for nuget? I never saw Fowler being credited for nuget until now.
- leosanchez 2y agoIIRC he worked in nuget. Not sure if he created it.
- wordofx 2y agoDavid has never worked on Nuget. He created SignalR and had been a huge influence on many internal parts of .NET.
- Hawxy 2y agoIs "creator of nuget" in his twitter bio just an inside joke?
- davidfowl 2y agoYes, I was one of the NuGet creators.
- acdha 2y agohttps://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client/graphs/contributors https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client/graphs/contributors lists his profile but not as a huge contributor. His LinkedIn page suggests he moved to another project after a year: > SDE II 2010 - 2011 1 yr Co-creator and founding developer for NuGet package manager. Designed and implemented the dependency management engine for the core NuGet as well as several other features such as the initial NuGet server implementation.
- wordofx 2y agoThat graph doesn’t list him as a “huge” contributor at all… bought into the project. Committed after 4 months. Small contribution compared to others. I should start listing projects I worked on at early stage as creator. Claiming to be “creator” is disingenuous. Worked on it. Yes. Big contribution over a year before moving onto other things. Yes. Creator? No.
- acdha 2y agoI think you might have missed the “not” in my comment. I agree on the numbers but would not second guess whatever happened internally since I have no knowledge of how that worked.
- haacked 2y agoAs the original PM for NuGet, I can confirm that David Fowler was one of the original developers on the team that created and worked on NuGet.
- david_ebbo 2y agoAnd as the original dev that worked on it along with David Fowler, I further confirm this :)
- oaiey 2y agoDavid is most likely one of the 10 people who turned the .NET project around and brought it into the modern world. I met him once in a training, a humble, funny guy.
- wordofx 2y agoHe’s one of the reasons I’m still a .NET developer. Super nice guy in person.
- crispyambulance 2y agoIt's really amazing to me that microsoft, with a headcount of over 200000 people has such small teams (and amazing individuals like Fowler) for their most central technologies. Even Entity Framework has, I think, just a handful of people working on it. Meanwhile, there are thousands upon thousands of people with title "product manager". I suppose the headcounts get vast again for the Azure teams? On the other hand maybe the success Microsoft has had lately is expressly BECAUSE there are not too many cooks in the kitchen?
