1) Why do we test? A primary reason is to discover problems in our products before it's too late. A problem is a difference between the world as experienced and the world as desired. It's a problem if someone experiences loss, harm, pain, bad feelings, or diminished value.

remembering when two companies told me I failed an interview loop about DevOps... *which were based on my own work & research* (the interviewers didn't realize "Forsgren" was a woman, so couldn't be me) maybe (MAYBE) your interviews aren't telling you what you think they are

Virginia Satir tip: One option is a trap. Two is a dilemma. Three options is a choice. Jerry Weinberg tip: If you haven't thought of three options, you haven't thought about it enough, yet.
Picard management tip: There is always a non-obvious third option. When caught between a rock and a hard place, find a jackhammer.

В Британии сравнивают коронавирус со Второй Мировой, потому что у них была Вторая Мировая. А у нас в это время была Великая Отечественная. И это очень разные войны. У них 67 000 жертв среди мирного населения. У нас - сами знаете.

Fake things we are only now recognizing as fake: 1) Want to get ahead? Work more hours 2) “This job can only be performed in the office, not WFH” 3) A sick day is a disciplinary infraction 4) Business attire 5) “Work comes first” 6) Trusting your employer to take care of you

Loads of organizations are suddenly "remote." If you or your organization are trying to figure out how your software team can do remote work and get work done successfully, I'd be happy to work with you and help get through the challenges.

Sometimes my kid wails that he needs help with Legos. My inclination was to consult on structure, add pieces. This always made him cry. I finally figured out that the "help" he needs is for me to sit quietly next to him while he figures it out. And isn't that what we all want?
