New blog post out, what is quality? bughuntersam.com/what-is-qua… It's nice to write something after taking a break. Even if it feels a little rambling.

I want to train for a marathon, but I'm over weight. Does anyone want to train with me?

We don’t test a fire alarm by setting a fire. What parts of software testing are still like setting a fire? When do we over complicate testing when a simpler check could suffice? #softwaretesting

More AI generated profile pictures. I don’t know what the top left one was but it made me lol. It’s almost as if the AI forgot about teeth

how do you get up to speed on a new team? I reflect on a few things that have helped me, but I'm always open to new ideas, feedback and improvements. bughuntersam.com/getting-up-…

I may have just ordered a MacBook Pro with a m1 max chip. 😬. In my last job I had a m1 chip and it made building and running tests on a backend system a lot quicker. Here’s to running 10 iOS/android emulators at once in my new role.

I started a new role with Wpay this week. It’s a mobile test engineer role on the team doing gift cards on the woolworths rewards app.

To my Indian friends, would it be weird for me to tell a ā€œlog kya kahengeā€ story (what will people say) as part of a conference talk? I’m giving a keynote at VodQA, a @thoughtworks conference with an Indian audience. I’m presenting on tales of fail. sites.google.com/thoughtwork…

Why do I want a monstera plant? Please tell me plant twitter. Is it just the next phase of being a millennial plant parent?

It has begun. I got 2 monstera seedlings this week. Propagated a philodendron and traded one for a amaryllis with a neighbour. I’ve now propagated my healthier peace Lilly and hoping to trade more plants.
Being able to make ethical choices with employment is a privilege. Not everyone is in the same position financially to do this. There’s nothing wrong with working at the local petrol station if it’s the only job you can find.

Even if supporting the gas and oil industry is something you’d prefer not to do.
Some of my recent food porn shots. I’m enjoying using food for practice photography.

oh my god I FINALLY figured out how to deal with plumbers electricians etc!! instead of just telling them what I want them to do, I say ā€œMy husband wantsā€¦ā€ if they have a question I say ā€œlet me ask my husbandā€, walk in another room, wait 5 minutes then come out and answer it

Has having multiple version of your CV ever helped you out?
1
people often say you should have multiple versions of you CV for different roles. I was also too lazy in the last to put in this much effort.

Having a template that you copy and paste plug specific information into can help make this easier. I have this blog that goes into more detail. bughuntersam.com/having-mult… #JobHunting #CVs #Test
