This is an excellent keynote talk from @mwinteringham.
I happen to watch it live online at the time and it was great to see my friend and work buddy share so many helpful reflections and advice. 
I do like Mark’s presentation style.
I like how what an Automator does is made explicit under these categories:
- Strategy/Planning
- Checks
- Frameworks
- Communication
- Testing Tools
Supported by a strong foundational knowledge of testing.
Have a watch/listen and share your thoughts. What did you find helpful? What are your thoughts on what exactly an Automator does?
