This week I got to chat with @heather_reid which is always a win!
I’ve also dug into exploring ideas for small to medium-sized events for 2022 as I have a goal for next year that’s “Weekly events to get the community talking more around a range of topics”. Excited to see what we can do as a community with a variety of events.
Plus I restarted the Heuristics Cheat Sheet project and have put together version 2 of the famous document! It’s so cool to have more folks contribute ideas to it. I’m now in talks with Elisabeth Hendrickson on how best to publish it.
I’ve also nearly wrapped up a project looking at how we can use tooling to support Community Health. Feels like we’re all set for 2022 on that. Nice!
How about you, what wins of the week shall we celebrate with you and the community?
I had a lot of job interviews, some of them very pretty nice.
Got over a flue and looking forward to get back to work on Monday.
The bigges “win” was realizing that the interviewing process (at many places) could do with a lot of an improvement, and I know if I ever get any say on what the software testing interview would be in my current, or some future company, I know I’d make it so that the applicant’s time is respected instead of wated.
Got developers pitching in to answer questions about product behaviors we had not been able to test yet, turns out some good design decisions had been made early.
Got confident with more of the production OPS tools too.
Home Wins:
Got asked to help out on a small project, which may have turned a small corner on my depression.
