My Column
From the Editor is the title of my bi-monthly column in IEEE Software. It’s a catch-all editorial space that addresses the latest trends affecting the software industry, the magazine’s affairs, and issues pertaining to software
development practice, education, and research. If you have any feedback on any editions of From the Editor or on the column as a whole, write a letter to the editor and email it to me (for publication in IEEE Software’s Letters department). I also welcome suggestions on topics to address in future editions.
