Replace Supplier with Supplies and friends
Here are three very specific uses of Extract Method on a function that takes an unwieldy object as an input, to help make code cleaner and easier to test. I learned these from Arlo Belshee.

As I’ve practiced refactoring over the years, I continue to find new ways to solve problems better with refactoring. This is why refactoring is such a big deal to me.
Some years ago, our organization used an open source project to run one part of our business. It was good but not a perfect fit. Since it’s open source, we modified it to add the features we needed.
5-year repost! I reference the original post a lot, so I thought it would be a good candidate for reposting here on the new blog. I’m revising the text, but the core message is the same.
I’ve noticed people argue for (or against) #NoEstimates in a bunch of different ways. They’ll often say “what #NoEstimates is really about is…”
When people use the term “DevOps”, what do they mean? Here are the definitions I have seen people use:
You have a problem. You: Ah! I know! I use a distributed system. Now you still have a problem, but you no longer know where.
I hear two main objections/concerns about refactoring: safety and cost.
I feel like this is already well-covered ground. We already know never to rewrite from scratch. The demise of Netscape has been discussed thoroughly. So I’m only going to be able to add a little.
A tale as old as XP…
When Safeguarding we want to reduce the size of a genus of bugs by 15% each time. So what makes a genus of bugs?
At Tableau we use the term “Safeguarding” to describe a particular way of reducing future defects by learning from past defects. Arlo described it in a parable. Here’s my current concrete understanding:
My current understanding of Disciplined Refactoring is that it combines:
(Reposted to improve formatting).
This week we ran a #mobprogramming session with 35 people. Here are some notes about how that went:
I use Ports-and-Adapters to abstract away my application’s interactions with external systems. I bend the dependency’s interface to the shape that I want for my domain. This makes it easier to think about my code and to unit test it.
This uses Jekyll Now to give me a no-administration, code-friendly blog. I love the combination of Markdown + Git.
