DevDroneOps is without a doubt the best workshop I've created. I love introducing folks to the major concepts in DevOps using mini drones and challenges. So much fun. So much learning.

Thanks folks. I'm REALLY surprised that there were so many that voted for spelling it out. If you were those folks, I'd like to learn more about where folks spell it out.

How do you pronounce "SDET"? . I believe if you are in software you know this one, but recently heard it differently from someone I thought should know.

Why test automation?. Not to accelerate, but to go more directly. Not to negate human analysis, but to support it with evidence. Not to hasten code, but to accelerate high-quality delivery . Not to find defects, but to recognize change.

The result of this behavior by these bad actors is the job market equivalent of "Denial of Service attacks".

Thanks for making this tweet public again @USTechWorkers - I see a ton of this. Even though I knew what was happening, its good to hear of others experiencing this. IMO the flood of these "attacks" on the job market are a major reason it's so diff for folks to get jobs right now.

@joecolantonio @testguilds @BeauFairmont Really fun interview about "How to hire great testers". Will let you know when it plays. We talked about this tweet a bit.
The issue of “proxy” interviews is more common than you think. Desperate for immigration benefits, these “IT workers” from India will pay top dollar to have their resumes fabricated and for someone to sit technical interviews for them. It’s a massive cottage industry.
