Nearly twenty years ago, I wrote "Refactoring", which is probably my most successful book. It's still a useful book, as the technique is one that doesn't change much with new languages and technology. But given that, a book that uses java.util.Vector is showing its age a bit. So, for the last couple of years I've been working on a new edition.

“There is something in you that you have to offer other people that is refreshing to them because it represents something that they don’t have. Finding your confidence in that is much more valuable than trying to compensate by pretending to be efficient in areas that you are not. -Steven Furtick. I find that observing the challenges of my children offers some very good insights into relationships and leadership.

I’ve been reading up on operations research lately, including queueing theory. It started out as a way to understand the very complex mortgage process (I work at a mortgage startup ) but it’s turned into my little hammer and now I see nails everywhere. One particular relationship that turns out to be somewhat more complex is the relationship between cycle time and throughput.

As a good JavaScript developer, you strive to write clean, healthy, and maintainable code. While you solve interesting and unique challenges, you’ve likely found that you’re often writing code that looks similar to the code for an entirely different problem you’ve handled before. You may not know it, but you’ve used a design pattern.

On Tuesdays I write about the top voted question on Ask Berkun (see the lovely archive ). This week’s question came via email from J.B.: How can I learn to ask better questions? To ask a good question requires two things: an insight and gumption. The root of all worthy questions is a desire to fill in a gap in your understanding of something. The insight in good questions comes from seeing that gap, exploring its edges and forming a question from them that can serve as an invitation to others

The biggest and most important unsolved problem in Information Security, arguably all of IT, is asset inventory. Rather, the lack of an up-to-date asset inventory that includes all websites, servers, databases, desktops, laptops, data, and so on. Strange as it sounds, the vast majority of organizations with more than even a handful of websites simply do not know what they are, where they are, what they do, or who is responsible for them.

[This is an excerpt from the book The Dance of The Possible: the mostly honest completely irreverent guide to creativity. If you enjoy it, imagine how much you’ll like the whole book?]. The great surprise for people with good ideas is the gap between how an idea feels in their mind and how it feels when they try to put the idea to work. When a good idea comes together it feels fantastic.

Artificial intelligence (AI). I’m sure by this point in the year, you’ve heard these two words more times than you can count, and have started to think about a world of self-driving cars and robot home assistants. But what does this mean for enterprises? That’s a question our team at Dell EMC hears from customers on a daily basis.
