| Word of the Day: refactoring Posted: 29 May 2020 03:02 PM PDT   | | Word of the Day |  | | Daily updates on the latest technology terms | May 29, 2020 | | | refactoring | | Refactoring is "the process of changing a software system in such a way that it does not alter the external behavior of the code yet improves its internal structure," according to Martin Fowler, the "father" of refactoring. The concept of refactoring covers practically any revision or cleaning up of source code, but Fowler consolidated many best practices from across the software development industry into a specific list of "refactorings" and described methods to implement them in his book, Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code. While refactoring can be applied to any programming language, the majority of refactoring tools were originally developed for the Java language. One approach to refactoring is to improve the structure of source code at one point and then extend the same changes systematically to all applicable references throughout the program. The result is to make the code more efficient, scalable, maintainable or reusable, without actually changing any functions of the program itself. Refactoring plays an important role in application modernization and moving legacy apps from a monolithic structure to microservices. Eric Raymond, a leading philosopher about program development, maintains that the concept of refactoring is consistent with the idea of get-something-working-now-and-perfect-it-later approach long familiar to Unix and open source programmers and hackers. The idea is also embodied in the approach known as extreme programming. Continue reading... | |  | "Refactoring is a vital part of software code maintenance. This restructuring process improves the code's readability and extensibility -- it might even address looming flaws before users experience their effects." - Stephen J. Bigelow

| Think at a Glance: What you can learn from online gaming’s winning playbook Posted: 29 May 2020 08:53 AM PDT | | Think at a Glance | | |
| | | Adjusting to new searching and shopping habits | | | | | | | | | How gaming trends can help guide your messaging | | It's no surprise that the online gaming industry is faring well in today's climate. Two and a half billion gamers were already playing worldwide. And, now, as people look for ways to pass the time and safely socialize at home, many of them are discovering the world of online games.
But game makers aren't sitting idle. They've responded by rethinking their ad strategies, as well as updating their messaging and positioning.
And to do that, they've had to stay on top of online gaming trends and closely monitor their own metrics. Search data shows people are seeking virtual experiences that help them foster existing relationships and new ones. Search interest in "online games to play with friends" jumped by 20X between February and March, indicating that people are looking for games they can play with real-world friends and family. And search interest in "multiplayer video games" rose steeply in late March.
By understanding what people want, game marketers can quickly pivot. For example, eye-catching ad creative that highlights the social aspects of games would appeal to people looking for connection.
Marketers outside of the gaming industry should also think about how they can create community around their offerings. Customers will be receptive: According to the agency Edelman, 83% of consumers say they want to see brands connect people and help them stay emotionally close. | | | | Read more | | | "It started with the grocery list, then digital and tech, then a marketing plan, and then operations training," says Panera Bread CMO Chris Hollander of his company's pivot to offering groceries as COVID-19 shut down much of the country. "From there, our teams came together and rallied around the idea and the best interest of our guests. Once the clarity of purpose and intent was established, this concept took off and was well received among our team." Searches for "best grocery delivery" skyrocketed as people struggled to stock their kitchens. Grocery delivery slots were scarce and certain pantry items were hard to come by. Hollander and Panera Chief Digital Officer George Hanson discuss how the 30-year-old casual dining brand harnessed this insight and similar consumer findings to pivot its business and launch Panera Grocery. The new program let customers get quick and safe access to grocery essentials via curbside pickup, drive-thru, and contactless delivery. | | | | Read more | | | | | | | |   |

| Word of the Day: Hawthorne Effect Posted: 28 May 2020 05:02 PM PDT  | | | Word of the Day | | | Daily updates on the latest technology terms | May 28, 2020 | | | Hawthorne Effect | | The Hawthorne effect, also known as the observer effect, is a psychological phenomenon that produces a temporary improvement in human productivity when there is increased attention from superiors, clients or colleagues. The Hawthorne effect was first seen in the 1920s at the Western Electric Company's Hawthorne Works, from which the term derives. The company conducted a series of studies designed to find ways to increase worker productivity. An increase in the level of workplace illumination, for example, had a measurable positive effect on employee productivity. However, the researchers also found that when they lowered the lighting levels, productivity still increased. In fact, for a limited period after any change in the illumination level, the workers' average output increased. The researchers concluded that lighting conditions had nothing to do with productivity increases and in 1939, Fritz J. Roethlisberger documented the results of the Hawthorne studies in "Management and the Worker." His conclusions about worker productivity were in sharp contrast to the common perceptions of that time. Financial reward was found to be much less conducive to worker productivity than expected. Instead, greater productivity resulted when management made workers feel valued and aware that their concerns were taken seriously. Professors Michel Anteby and Rakesh Khurana wrote about the Hawthorne studies in their article, "A New Vision:" The economic rewards of work were potentially picayune compared to the feeling of solidarity and worth created among individuals working together toward a common end. A manager's effectiveness, therefore, could be measured by the extent to which those in the organization internalized a common purpose and perceived the connection between their actions and the organization's ability to fulfill this common purpose. Management, then, was not about controlling human behavior but unleashing human possibility.
Although the conclusions of the Hawthorne studies have since been called into question, the theory persists -- probably because it is logical to believe that people try and do their best when someone they care about is watching. Continue reading about the Hawthorne effect... | |  | "During periods of stress and disruption, the action of recognizing employees matters a lot. That is one of the most important things that you can do to help them become re-engaged and be as productive as possible." - Brian Kropp
