Ask questions no one dares to ask. Be a legend.
Dare to be strange and unusual.

Teach people how to test and teach them how not to test. Don’t too much. You can stop. Knowing when to stop is valuable.

Make sure you have a countermeasure.
Have a short term metric.
My favorite metric is the level of panic in a developer’s eyes when you tell them you’re able to release to production.
