Five for Friday – March 29, 2019

It’s Friday. Here are five things I found this week worth sharing.

  • First off, I am really enjoying playing Song Quiz on my Echo devices. It’s oddly addicting, and I have an embarrassing knowledge of 80s music.
  • This is from over three years ago, but someone linked to this article from Rob Lambert on 10 Ways To Initiate Change In An Organisation That Doesn’t Want To Change, and I think it’s worth a read
  • I also just discovered the Better Allies website – it’s full of great resources on creating inclusive communities
  • Also an old link, but also worth sharing if you haven’t seen it before. Read carefully, but this site is Totes not Amazon
  • Finally – two Friday’s from now, Brent Jensen and I will record the 100th episode of AB Testing – and we’re doing it live with a (virtual) audience. Ping me on twitter, slack, or email if you’d like to attend. The recording will be 8:00 am Pacific Daylight Time on April 12.

  • My Role in Certifications

    I thought I could raise a bit of controversy by announcing that I’ll be spending a reasonable chunk of my time working on certifications.I teased the twitter-verse with a few hints, wondering if the wolves would pounce on me, but 1) I don’t have that many followers, and 2) since I’m always pissing people off,…

  • Design for *GUI* Automation

    I’ve stated my distaste for GUI automation before, but after my last post, I feel the need to share some clarification.
