Five for Friday – January 22, 2021

Kind of a lot going on in the world of the Weasel this week, but I found a few things worth sharing. This came out well before FfF was a thing, but apparently my boss recently listened to this interview with me from ~6 years ago. I’m moving to a new manager at Unity, so…

It’s been another incredibly busy week – many many meetings to help me ramp up – but I managed to find a few things worth sharing attempting to use the internet as a learning vehicle. It’s no coincidence that this article on Leaders and Time found its way into my queue I’m surprised I didn’t…

Despite the lame title, this isn’t yet another post attempting to describe what testing is – it’s just something I wanted to share inspired by a small discussion last night (although if you browse the testing blogosphere, you’ll find a lot of good discussion on this topic lately).
