I think I am therefore doing an alright job.

We at 9 out of 10 testers like to share our pet peeves and rant about the things we hate. On our platform it goes down well enough, but in a different context, a grumble might lead to a disagreement. ...

From podcasting to conferences, what began in 2018 has grown beyond what we ever imagined. I still recall excitedly sharing ideas at a workshop, barely able to articulate what it was! Grateful to have built something so special with you all.
