Five for Friday – March 8, 2019 – Tooth of the Weasel

I’m still reading Scrum Mastery by Geoff Watts, but came across this paragraph that I’m sure seems relevant to my line of thinking.
“Similarly, I have met many who believe that you have to have a special mindset to be a good tester. Developers, they say, are a different breed. As such, they can’t be trusted to test.

The more that developers are not trusted to test, the more they will be unable to test and the more they will shirk the responsibility of writing good code.“
I shared this article (along with some commentary) about feedback.
Once again, the Netflix Tech blog has a relevant and good article. How Data Inspires Building a Scalable, Resilient and Secure Cloud Infrastructure
Also from HBR (sorry for those without a subscription for burning your monthly reads), is this article: The Best Leaders Aren’t Afraid to Ask for Help
Windows calculator is open source. Not too many insights, I expect. It’s a calculator 🙂
