Ever get confused about what exactly is meant when people talk about #UnitTests, #IntegrationTests, #RegressionTests, and #SmokeTests? I wrote a little something about them to, hopefully, explain the differences and overlap: www.cassandrahl.com/blog/on-unit... #Quality #Testing #SoftwareTesting

I put together some thoughts on no / low code solutions and #AI for #Automaton #Testing and #QualityEngineering Most of what I've seen so far is people being very against or very for, so I'm interested to know what you think. www.cassandrahl.com/blog/on-no-l...

The people we're dealing with right now don't actually want us gone completely. You can't be at the top of a pyramid unless there are people below you. What they want is to reestablish structures that keep us controlled. They want to overtly give themselves all of the advantages.

In my world, “the talk” is what Black parents have w/our kids, about how to survive an encounter w/police who see them as a threat because of our skin color. Latino families have their talk, w/kids even younger, about ICE who see them as criminals: “If we disappear…” Different fear. Same America.

Just did my first ever sculpture! 😊 I'm happy with it 👄 #lips #mouth #clay #plasticine #sculpture

I've found myself very torn lately, and this post has spoken to me. I don't know how to respond to the state of the world right now. What does ethical living even look like anymore? How can one resist without burning (out)? How public should it be? How much is (not) enough? 😓

First conference of the year! Spoken before at @seleniumconf.bsky.social but this will be the my first time in person at the event and I'm really excited about it! If you want to join us, you can use my discount code: João-speaker

So many great people I know are writing or have written books. I wish I had the mental capacity / wiring to read them 😓 I've always struggled with books and prefer articles... Even though chapters are like a collection of articles... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Blogged: the paradox of being a decent person I feel that indecent people are growing in number, yet I don’t know what we can do about that without also descending into the realm of indecency. This creates a paradox if you care about being (or being perceived as) a decent person.

Painted another version of my skull piece, this time focusing more on details and texture over blocking limited shades. I'm quite happy with how it turned out. And glad I had the confidence to do it on a gessoed piece of cardboard this time lol #Skull #Painting #BlackAndWhite #AcrylicPainting

I was never in a childhood organisation / club where they collected badges, but I'm guessing it had a similar sense of achievement to getting badges on my @ministryoftesting.com profile. Really curious as to what others are out there. Which badges am I missing? 🪐

Meta has quietly removed major sections of its hate speech policy protecting LGBTQ people, people of color, women, immigrants, and other marginalized groups. Today’s alarming policy changes will allow anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, and cease to protect LGBTQ users from being targeted with such attacks

Hey #blacksky, do we have any novelists in the house? I need some advice on writing sci-fi characters that aren't blatant stereotypes

Musing: failing fast doesn't mean you should fail because you're going too fast. Take the time you need.

I'm involved in tech hiring. I've interviewed thousands of engineers. And I'd like to tell you about a disturbing trend I've seen in tech in the last 10 years 🧵

we should be concerned about the impacts of social media on kids and teens, but i don’t think we’re worried nearly enough about what it’s doing to middle aged people and seniors

“Race is not a biological category that naturally produces health disparities because of genetic differences. Race is a political category that has staggering biological consequences because of the impact of social inequality on people’s health.” — Dorothy E. Roberts, Fatal Intervention (pp 11)

this year, I'm giving all my Christmas gifts to the richest child in the neighborhood. I'm sure they'll trickle down to all the other kids eventually

Just saw a malware technique I've not seen in so long it gave me nostalgia. On windows ".com" is an executable file extension, so they'd named their malware "signup​.website.​com"

Same goes for why they don't have contact with their blood relatives.

pssst, pro tip: if someone doesn't want to discuss why they don't celebrate christmas, you can bet they have a good reason. leave it alone.

Doest anyone in my network know Google Apps Script really well? Need a bit of help to validate something I am working on... Thank you donuts in the post 🍩💌 😁
