@bitmoji.bsky.social oh no! The new style Bitmoji are not my style at all. I loved the old ones.

This is where I started a few weeks ago! Thank you @brackeys.com for this excellent tutorial. I completed it, and continued my learning by adding things on and slowly evolving it.
Having the assets pack to start me off made it so easy.

A small #bugfix today, and my first time editing on my Mac Air laptop vs my Windows Desktop. I love for flexible #godot is!
I fixed the stutter on the movement of the small platform, now using _process instead of _physics_process.

Not all painters are artists, and not all artists paint. Some artists paint, and some painters make art.
People who do both, likely relate the two, and might miss that others do it differently.
Do, must all QEs first be Testers?
What if I asked, must all QEs, first be Devs?

Why? Why does my Mac Pro choose 9am to do a forced update, just when my meeting is about to start.
Not even a boring meeting, a knowledge sharing workshop with one of my Devs to get the team all able to run a service locally. Urg.

Win. Today I set a reminder for tomorrow morning to help me remember my context and continue with my work.
This helped me log off on time, instead of continuing because I was in a flow.
I'll let tomorrow me tell you if this worked.

The words were flowing, and boy, they are not pretty! I am pissed off, and when I am pissed off, I curse a lot.
I found a post from 2021, and I compare my words from 4 years ago with how I feel about it today.
It being: the focus of the testing community on "quality"

What if, as a testing community, we’ve been hung up about the wrong thing all this time
Does 2025 Maaike agree with what 2021 Maaike wrote? I found the following in my Apple Notes just now. Read it, and then I'll tell you whether I still agree with my thoughts from 4 years prior. Spoiler...

I’ve recently been exploring the differences, between the role of a Quality Engineer, and other roles in Software Quality.
In this post I will discuss a few key points that have mattered to me, and setting my context, in different companies and teams.

It's a simplification and also restricted in its structure by the capabilities of Jira.
Your work is likely more interconnected than you board is showing you.
