Tester & Team Lead
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?

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

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.

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.

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

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!!

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

Are you a junior/aspiring tester, available during the days in Frankfurt and would like to join but it is out of your € scope? - then, reach out to me.
Lovely tester community, please help to share.
