Yeah that's why I put traditional in quotes. I guess, rather outdated? But whatever.. the question is how is this different? The engineer who writes the code still not the one who tests it, am I misunderstanding this?

The article mentions fast user feedback and dogfooding as alternative ways to get feedback to code reviews. I think these are two different things, user feedback and dogfooding are great ways to know if you built the right thing or you buil

When things don't make any sense, or show poor results, it's hard to comply to, which has been the case in the last two years with our betters on a power trip.

Learn what problem(s) it solves, how it's used, and how it's designed. If you have a use case for it, this knowledge will make it easier to assess if it's the right tool for you and to get up and running with it if need be.

Being embedded in the engineering team doesnt mean QA engineer knows about the design or the code. When I had one in my team, i found their input very valuable in devising a general test plan to go with the release strategy and ensuring qua

I don't think this is only for leadership roles. If you don't stick around long enough to see how your work has evolved, your APIs have been used, how easy is it to adapt your work to new requirements, how you handed over ownershi

What I mean is we shouldn't refuse to treat people with covid or whatever else simply because we disagree with their actions or their choices. That's like saying we shouldn't perform first-aid rescue on someone who had an acc
