- 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 agoNothing disingenuous about it. He was on the original team that prototyped and then built NuGet. He wrote the core dependency management engine among other things. His contribution only seems small now only because the project has been around a long time with many new contributors since he’s moved on. But you can rewind the git history to see he had a huge impact as a creator. I say this as the PM of team that built NuGet.
- x0n 2y agoWeren't we working Codeplex at the time too? So I'm not convinced that the history is all there in github. Oisin
- joelverhagen 2y agoThe NuGet.Client repo was used for version 3.x and later (a major algorithm and protocol overhaul happened then). But a lot of NuGet code existed before then, e.g. https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet2/graphs/contributors https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet2/graphs/contributors (Fowler is there with many contributions).
- acdha 2y agoThanks - I know nothing of how NuGet was developed internally but would have been quite surprised if he’d made a claim like that without cause.
- 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 :)
