The Async-First Playbook

We’ve come a long way. Pioneers like GitLab wrote the playbook for remote work over a decade ago, yet it took a global pandemic to open the world’s eyes to the possibilities of remote work. Today, many organizations embrace what we call “location independence.” This encapsulates the magic that happens when a business decouples results from physical geography. While this has transformed millions of lives and enterprises, it’s only the start of an even greater revolution. The future of remote work—or, dare I say, the future of work—is time independence. Since at least the advent of the internet, the majority of knowledge workers have remained bound to time. The way we design our lives and the dreams we allow ourselves to contemplate are constrained by a fixed reality: the rigidity of a workday. What happens when we shake off that rigidity? What design principles can humans apply to their own lives when we leverage tools, software, AI, and workflows to achieve professional goals outside the strict bounds of time? We begin to optimize for what matters most. We reprioritize our individual identity stacks—the layers that make us individually us. Businesses become stronger and more resilient to crises. They become magnets for the most talented people, those who value flexibility over all else and who generate otherworldly results as a measure of their gratitude.

Serverless as a Game Changer

The gap between the best software development teams and average software development teams is enormous. The best teams deliver delightful, scalable, stable software to users quickly and regularly. Average teams deliver acceptable software that works most of the time, with months or even years between significant improvements. Many teams even struggle to deliver anything but small, iterative changes, with even those taking surprising amounts of time. Software development and cloud services and tools make developing and deploying software increasingly cheaper, faster, and better—but very few organizations take advantage of these innovations. This book lays out the principles, strategies, and tactics that can propel your organization or teams to world-class output by harnessing a Serverless mindset. Historically, to deliver web-scale applications with wonderful customer experience, organizations have had to hire expensive, superior talent in many disciplines: networking, infrastructure, systems administration, software architecture, back-end software development, API design, and front-end application design. The demand for these talented employees has always exceeded the number of them, and most companies have simply been unable to acquire talent that would enable them to build products such as a Google or Netflix.

International Business and Information Technology

International Business and Information Technology is a breakthrough text that analyzes the relationship between international business operations and information technology. First, it assesses the impact of current developments in IT on the operation of multinational corporations on both a practical and theoretical level, and explores how it can improve competitive advantage. Second, it investigates how doing business in an international environment affects the design, implementation, and management of information systems for global enterprises.

Programming with Rust

Rust is a general-purpose language for creating safe, secure, and scalable applications. The language has features from several programming paradigms, as described shortly. Rust was originally designed as a systems programming language. However, it has emerged as a more versatile language capable of creating a variety of application types, including systems programming, web services, desktop applications, embedded systems, and more. Although it may sound cliché, what you can accomplish with Rust is only limited by your imagination. Different! That is an accurate assessment of Rust. Although the Rust syntax is based on the C and C++ languages, the similarity with other C-based languages often ends there. In addition, Rust is not different just to be different; it is a difference with a purpose. Rust’s borrow checker is an excellent example of a difference with a purpose. The borrow checker is a unique feature within Rust that promotes safe coding practices by enforcing rules related to the single ownership principal. No other language has this feature. For that reason, the borrow checker is a foreign concept to many developers but nonetheless invaluable.

Information Technology for Counterterrorism

Seeking Transformation Through Information Technology

We have been motivated to write this book to capture some of the richness of country experiences in their journey toward e-transformation. From our own practice and observation of the aspirations and challenges of developing countries, we believe there are a lot of lessons to learn from sharing these experiences. They transcend the formal descriptions of national ICT strategies, which typically describe objectives and list of actions and investments based on static assessment of e-readiness. We attempt to capture the dynamics of formulating and implementing a strategy, for some countries how the journey started, and for others who have been pursuing e-transformation for two or more decades, the evolution of a series of strategies.

Patterns of Distributed Systems

In 2017, I was involved in developing a software system for a large optical telescope called Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). We needed to build a core framework and services to be used by various subsystems. The subsystem components had to discover each other and detect component failures. There was also a requirement to store metadata about these components. The service responsible for storing this information had to be fault-tolerant. We couldn’t use off-the-shelf products and frameworks due to the unique nature of the telescope ecosystem. We had to build it all from scratch—to create a core framework and services that different subsystems of the software could use. In essence, we had to build a distributed system. I had designed and architected enterprise systems using products such as Kafka, Cassandra, and MongoDB or cloud services from providers like AWS and GCP. All these products and services are distributed and solve similar problems. For the TMT system, we had to build a solution ourselves. To compare and validate our implementation choices with these proven products, we needed a deeper understanding of the inner workings of some of these products. We had to figure out how all these cloud services and products are built and why they are built that way. Their own documentation often proved too product-specific for that.
