High performance sports teams embed psychologists in the org to improve outcomes. Why don't we do this in software? strib.mn/2Al3wvg

Protip when online shopping for items you might usually pick up at a store... DO NOT PURCHASE THROUGH @Dyson #Canada. So far this week I’ve spent 3 hours by phone and chat trying to locate a $1000 order. No two answers are the same re: order status or shipping address 🙃🤦🏽‍♂️

“Dear Adam: If you want to fly next week, book with @WestJet or @porterairlines.” Got it. Thanks @Aeroplan / @AirCanada! 🤦🏽‍♂️

If you have separate teams doing development, testing, and production support all for the same set of features, you might be working in a bad system.

I'm not underrepresented anymore. Y'all are over-represented. Not going to use a negative to describe my existence. I'm Bryan, and I'm supposed to be here.

A lot of testing is focused on the input and processing and storage of data. Very little critical thinking is applied to the question of whether the data is any good: valid, clean, accurate, reliable, faithfully representing what it should...

Soooooo our entire team got laid off with no notice, on a monday- and they didn't even reach out to let us know it was coming. So there are some great people today looking for pentesting work. I'm among them, and looking to work with a skilled team. Retweets are appreciated.

6) h) Although low-level quality is essential, quality at the surface, at the human interface, where the people live and work is paramount. Don’t let fixation on regression checking displace testing that provides actual experience with and of the product.

2) If we were really investigating change-related risk, we would review checks (and requirements and specs and user documentation...) for their relevance, accuracy, precision, etc., with respect to the now-changed production code. It seems to me that rarely happens.

Thread 👌🏽
1) An often-forgotten dimension of testability is "unbugginess". We perform a test. Upon finding a bug, we investigate and report. This interrupts the time that we have to perform other tests. Paradox: the more bugs we find, investigate, and report, the less time we have to test!

Anyone have 10-20 on @joelplaskett right now? If #ThrushHermit is a special guest @sonicunyon’s 25th tonight I may need to post up @HorseshoeTavern 🤔
Alright, actually unpopular opinion thread time. Might delete later. Allowing pets in the office is not an inclusive policy.
