That’s job that so many people said I’d be perfect for… well apparently automation is essential and that’s the end of the road for me. The amount of value, passion and dedication I could have brought to that company was huge. But people cannot see past automation. Very sad.

I'm occasionally going to share paid substack posts for free in order to share ones i'm particularly proud of (and also for advertising, let's be real). This one is about how empathy requires boundaries, and resilience, and what that means

This is a fantastic conversation where Mourinho describes with several examples what the difference is between game principles and systems of play. Listen to Jose carefully 🧵👇

@TeaAndMonsters Challenge yourself what testing means to you, for the software your working on with your team(s)
Notice and research things outside of testing that can help you test
Practice communicating what you do, don’t isolate yourself from other disciplines but include and involve them.
