In a meeting ..." the most impressive. It's not as important to built the correct [product/functionality] it's important to built correctly." Micdrop

One last time this year, I'm packing my suitcase and taking with me: A presentation, a clicker and my speaker outfit.

How far reaches the responsibility of a team lead for the actions or misses of a team member? Whose failure is it? Or does it not matter at all? #mondaythoughts

The temporarily absence of a tester can remind the team why we are there in the first place

Urlaubsszenen an der Ostsee "Willst du eine Fischfrikadelle? Das ist wie eine Fleischfrikadelle nur mit Fisch."

Today I learned (again) - It's [testing, quality, swdev] not about the pull request merged, it's about the questions asked and the conversation that emerge from it. A simple question turned into a 45min tech/ux/business convo with 4 people/3 professions involved.

Talk beesiness...

Without data you are just a person with an opinion. - Lucky me, I had the data ready, nicely colored and even shared them with the disclaimer of potential measuring inaccuricies. Always #BeingPrepared - tester scout rule

Leadership - Management - Influence Where stops leading, guiding, motivating and where starts manipulating? Where to draw the line? Or is there a line at all?

First in the office today, still sleepy, don't paying attention and whoooom firing off the alarm system. #TestingAllTheThings specifically my blood pressure and response time in an unusual situation.

Getting ready for @sigist.bsky.social summer conference 2025. Looking forward to tea & talks

Saw the bug buttons and simply had to buy them. Now figuring out how and on what to use them. Dropping ideas is appreciated

The good thing about adulthood - birthday cake is possible at any given day. Like a week after the day 🥳

Plan for an after work meet with a friend, 4 weeks in advance. F: What time? Me: 18:00 F: Grabbing food? Me: Yes, join straight from work F: What food do they offer? Me: [remembering why meeting up with this friends is energy cosuming]

When you are in Management/HR and compare your staff and training they do/receive with dogs you throw a treat every now and then to keep them well behaving. Reconsider your job! And maybe your choices in life.

6:56 breakfast area in a hotel. Playing happy, energizing music from the 50's/60's. The introvert in me is screaming. Only thing I wanted is a tea and some peace. Another point why I should get a mini thermos/water boiler.

A full bookshelf, a free library access, online library access. Still, nothing to read!! ...if you want to drop some recommendation - preferably fantasy

I am sick and tired to fight for a place at the tech table ran by male dev managers. ~ an exhausted female tester

BDD - Biscuit Drive Development Some crunchies for the sprint meeting.

Mittags im Büro Ich: Körnerbrot vom Handwerks Bäcker mit (Bio)Käse, Gemüse Schnippse, Clementine. Mitmensch: "Das ist ja ein trauriges Essen" Selbiger nimmt gern Fertig Cevapcici in Aluschale mit. #MeineBrotdoseMeineRegeln

On the way to #QAChallengeAccepted conference. Flymingo passed security without troubles. Looking foward to meet with fellow IT folks and discover another conference and city

My lil' tiny town decided that our public librabry will be free of costs for all!! Following the example of our nothern neighbours. 3..2..1.. reading started 📚📙📘📗📔📕📚

We were away for a week and our bunnies as well. They had well enough treats in their suitcase for the week. On coming home their treat jar is fuller than on their departure. I think I am not the only one who got spoiled on snacks during their vacation.

Flymingo, BF and I are about getting ready for the next conference (Eurostar) and a new city on our list of exploration.

Mon morning, public holiday. Neighbour has a classic alarm clock. They are usually getting up at 7am, the alarm clock shuts up after 15 min. Everyone in our U-shape backyard area now knows, thank you for sharing

Hey community people, I'd like to get your ideas... I run a regular, internal knowledge sharing session. The last couple of months it's getting harder to get volunteers in with their topics. So question what works for you to recruit speakers? Or what would motivate you the get active?

Kicking of the conference year 2024 at German Testing Day in Frankfurt. That was fun. Thanks for all the conversations, learnings and laughter.

Stop calling internal/external colleagues 'ressources'. Scaling ressources up or ramping ressources down. You hire and fire your colleagues. Fullstop. Just call it what it is

Wegbier kennt man ja. Aber habt ihr schon vom Warte-Wein gehört?

When do people play the 'Sock Memory' game. While hanging or while folding?

Happy Beer Day to my #ATDBeerClub folks @tg2g.bsky.social @witchofthetest.bsky.social @tamaraj.bsky.social @chrissbaumann.bsky.social 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

Two rollercoaster weeks in a row peaking in both directions. Life, you can slow down now

Todays' Software Teaming conference was a blast!! Thanks for organising @AgileNewEngland and all people involved. Having fun while learning together. I truely enjoyed the experience

I told a coworker that I tried to open the door at home with the office key. They said it is a sign I am ready for vacation. Maybe I do as they advised...

Some manager: hey, before you go on vacation could I get your phone no? Of course, emergency only. Vacations matter. This week another person of the team was contacted 4 out of 5 days during vacation. I think I know already how the story will go... #OfficeStories

My 8yrs+ colleague "Something is different with you today" I let him think for some time...nothing. I: yes I have lenses instead of glasses today C: "What!!! You have glasses??? Really? Jepp, since age 12

I hit the last submit button for ATD's call for papers. I am hoping for an #AgileTDBeerclub reunion. @witchofthetest.bsky.social @tamaraj.bsky.social @tg2g.bsky.social @chrissbaumann.bsky.social

Today I had a call with someone on my team, we chatted a bit about the weekend and compared our shiny's from the last pokemonGo community day. Also managers have hobbies ☺️

A difficult and stressful day ahead of me (workwise). Time to put on some cheerful, glittery eyeshadow and get it done. 🤘

I have mornings were I feel I have all my s*** togehter. And then there are mornings were I put my lose tea in the mug without a strainer. Today it's option no. one, luckily.

Well...

We shall be sorted till the next berry picking season. Made a 4kg batch of blackberry jam.
