Five for Friday, February 1, 2019

It’s the FfF travel edition In the past ten days, I’ve been in Copenhagen, Bastad (Sweden), back to Copenhagen, Montreal, and I’m currently waiting to board a flight from Minneapolis back to Seattle.

  • I’m re-reading High Output Management by Andy Grove. So far, it’s as good as I remember.

  • Last but not least, Lisa Crispin is back (in my FfF posts) with an article on ML in Testing

  • Settling on Quality?

    Oh my – another quality post. I’m afraid I’m starting a trend for myself, but I have a story to share. As all gainfully employed workers in the tech field will tell you, we all have side jobs as tech support for all members of our immediate and extended families.
