Today my life feels like constantly being late for appointments and then also having to fit in more. Weekend please!
Coined a new word to try to describe my technical skills. I'm a develo-pair. I don't develop alone but I do in combination with others.
Assume the woman on stage is technical. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
I'm in my second talk at Java Forum Nord where the importance of reading code is being highlighted, and referencing @Felienne book. Good stuff! @maritvandijk

Note to self. Get tamagotchis. It needs to survive a week before you get the right to have a new test environment. #RegretfulManagers out of box skill building.

Graduating from testing to managing, you will just have to accept there are some questions you won't ask. No matter how you want to. #RegretfulManagers #Wisdom
Am I a developer now? I spent so much time installing npm and nvm with my friend that I forgot the problem I was trying to solve. Also it still doesn't work.

#EnsembleProgramming or #EnsembleTesting on #python #playwright with @ez and @alex_schl is always the highlight of the day. We have so much fun with naming things and playing with language.
I want you to know that local storage is so hard that we needed a shadow cookbook and a great deal of copy paste to manage it 🤣 #playwright @maaretp @ez

Seems German XING company has layoffs started.
If you are in need of good product and IT people, now is a good time to approach and poach.
Please share for more reach.
