Five for Friday – January 28, 2022

We’ve burned through a month of 2022 already. Here’s some stuff to look at going into month 2.

  • I came across this article on balancing work on engineering teams that aligns a lot with my thinking
  • I probably mentioned this before, but I just re-read Julie Zhuo’s The Making of a Manager, which I probably once again will recommend as a must read for new (or newish) managers
  • Speaking of managers, Angela Riggs has some great tips in this post on Staying Organized as a Manager
  • I picked up a new mouse this week, and I’m pretty happy with it. I got the Logitech MX Master 3 – it feels good in my hand, and has a reasonable amount of customization available
  • If you had fun with Wordle last week, the less strategic Letterle is also available – or for more fun, Absurdle

That’s it – hope you find something interesting or new. Have a good weekend, and stay safe.

  • Titles for Testers

    I’ve had a few conversations on twitter over the past few weeks about tester titles. My conclusion is that test titles are meaningless, but let’s look at why I think that, and why it doesn’t matter. Let’s say you’ve been testing for eight years, given a conference presentation or two and wrote a bit about…
