The really big wins happen when you get a framework in place that gives you a formal language like Gherkin for expressing what needs to be tested. That's a win because it starts giving product a way to specify requirements that are bot

I'm a big fan of a small "red team" QA approach where human testers are basically using their brains to do intelligent fuzzing and hunting for edge case breakage. That's very different from what most centralized QA teams

Having been through the decision process in the past for whether to go when centralized QA, dedicated QA on teams, or automated testing as an engineering responsibility, I came away with the personal opinion that the quality of automated te

I agree with your thermodynamics, I'm just concerned about finding a volume big enough to store climatically meaningful amounts of CO2 in that form. 40 billion metric tons per year of CO2 in the form you describe is around 30 billion c

Most of the gasses we pull from the ground are byproducts of oil and natural gas production. We don't pull them from the ground because we want them on their own, we just go ahead and capture them because they are coming up with the st

The existence of oil shows CO2 can be stored in solid or liquid form, but doesn't show we know how to convert CO2 into that stored form at scale or keep our hands off it once it's stored that way. It's easy to burn oil, it&#x

I want to be excited about this, but it's capturing CO2 as CO2 gas, not sequestering CO2 in a form that keeps it out of the atmosphere. If you pay a lot of money in process and power to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere or out of exhaust
