it’s been a good week – as far as weeks go over the past 15 months. Here are your Friday links: I got my first vaccine shot this week (Moderna). Here’s how to get yours. I’m speaking at Testing Festival next week. Lots of great talks there as well. I’m reading The Culture Map. I’m…
We’re already a third of the way through 2021. It’s still a wild world, but I’m signed up to get my first vaccine dose on Monday, so that light at the end of the tunnel is looking just a little bit brighter. Here’s some stuff from my world this week. I wrote another article for…
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…
Back for another week of random stuff I found on the internet. The State of Testing Report is out – lots of interesting insights and info. Maaret Pyhäjärvi has a short, but nice blog on learning from failure that’s worth reading Not sure who else is using Sourcgraph (or why I haven’t heard of it…
Back again with interesting – but potentially useless links I found valuable this week It’s ~6 weeks away, but now is good enough time as any to let you know that I’m speaking at Testing Festival in May It’s a bit of a long read, but this article on persuading the unpersuadable is full of…
Back for another week – remember, if you would like an email version of FfF, you can sign up here (nvm – it’s broken again) Charity Majors shared a fantastic deck on continuous delivery – worth checking out. Two from fellow today, becuase I don’t think I ever called out the Super Managers podcast. Every…
Back again, and once again, if you’d like to receive this post via email, you can sign up here. Here are some things you should know this week. First – I wrote another article for TestProject – this one on Testing and the Road to Quality. I’m happy to say that with this article nobody…
Good news – I was able to put a simple captcha in place that may slow the spam signups to the FfF newsletter. Bad news – I didn’t get all of the plumbing put back together. I’ll have it set up by next week for any of you who would prefer to have this weekly…
HI again, everyone – I’ve temporarily turned OFF my exciting newsletter feature because I was seeing a large amount of spam email addresses show up. While they’re harmless, I think I can make the sign up feature work a bit better. Stay tuned. ok – here’s some new (to me) stuff I was on the…
Back here for another week. As I mentioned last week, if you would like FfF in your mailbox every week, you can sign up here. The sign-up process feels a bit wonky to me, and I think my early subscribers may be spam bots, but ymmv. Also note that I’m still learning how to use…
Just like that, it’s the last Friday of the month. One new thing this week is that I’m playing with a newsletter version of FfF for those who would like to see my links in their inbox instead of my blog site. There’s a sign-up sheet here. Now onto the links. Still a few weeks…
Back again and sharing a few cool things I found this week. I wrote another article for TestProject – this one on why developers should write all (or at least most) of your automated tests. While I’m self-promoting, I’m giving a webinar next Wednesday on developer vs. tester mindsets. Former guest on the ABT 343…
Another week whirled by – here’s some stuff I found worth sharing. I polished off another fiction book last week – this time it was Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. It’s a quick and fun read – not 5-stars good, but definitely interesting enough to recommend. Someone on the ABTesting slack pointed me to rephonic.com,…
The light at the end of the tunnel is tiny…but it’s there. Here’s some stuff to share this week. President Biden has promised 100M vaccinations in 100 days. The math isn’t hard to see that the end is still a long way off. I’ve been checking in on this vaccination tracker to see just how…
We all made it through another week. Here’s some stuff for you to check out. Charity Majors is awesome – and so is her latest blog post advice to managers. Camille Fournier (author of The Manager’s Path) also had a great post this week on Boring Plans. Corey Quinn wrote a fascinating post on compensation…
Here are a few of my favorite articles I found this week In case you missed it, I wrote something. This article on Maximizing Developer Effectiveness is excellent and full of great ideas. I try not to re-post every Michael Lopp article, but this one, like many others, is worth sharing. Like a lot of…
Welp – it’s been another one of those weeks. Here’s some stuff I found that helped me get by. I’m still on a fiction break. This week, I read Ready Player Two – and it wasn’t bad. I definitely enjoyed the first book more, but this one was enjoyable and a good read (and I’m…
What a week to start off the year. Hopefully, it’s just leftover 2020 continuing to fester. Here’s some new stuff to talk about. Thankfully, former president Trump was finally permanently suspended from twitter I picked up a set of Galaxy Buds+, and I absolutely love them. I wear them almost constantly. My role at Unity…
I am taking the rest of the year off, so this the last FfF of 2020. Let’s hope 2021 goes just a little bit better. There’s been a lot of lying with statistics in the news recently, so I was happy to see this article about the data literacy needed to better understand what’s going…
The year keeps puttering along – here are a few things I found interesting this week. I’ve been spending a lot of time recently learning about “FinOps” – the website has some information, but I’m finding a lot of interesting info as I scour the net (book reco coming next week. If you happen to…
