Industrial Logic now has #EnsembleProgramming cheat sheet. https://www.industriallogic.com/cheat-sheets/
I get joy in the fact that the rename started with me and @deniseyu when it spreads to sources I consider somewhat more authoritative.
-
This week as manager included something very much akin to #EnsembleProgramming and oh my, that was powerful. I learned that people don't know things they should know. I learned that things come too fast without sufficient reflection to turn them to learnings. I learned that people could succeed better given more clarity through limiting things we are learning simultaneously.
I already made changes to provide slightly better support. I still think we should pair / ensemble more.
-
With #EnsembleProgramming, we talk about time together being worthwhile as long as we are either #Learning or #Contributing. Today I need to add that learning the same thing every day again is not really what I mean by learning. Learning should accrue. We need to figure out ways of practicing in a way where we are likely to retain information.

People still seem to think that for geographically distributed teams, meeting face to face is the key to success. I am of opinion that working together, like actually working together #PairProgramming, #EnsembleProgramming and sharing work as real team is much more key than traveling to meet people.
The perceived distance is almost as much of a choice as the physical distance. Show up for people, every day.

Delighted for a colleague I appreciate delivering her 1st keynote today at #AgileTD. I have been around to follow her hard work from the 1st talk to this point, and have had the privilege of pairing with her on the test strategy piece for my #Exploratory Testing Foundations course. Working together does not always mean we have to be working in same place and I have made great friends from remote pairing with folks around the world. So proud of her accomplishment today. Congrats Parveen Khan!

As I have been having conversations with #testers across organizations, I am noticing that the EU making salaries public soon change is having impacts on internal conversations of value of your work vs. salary you are paid now.
I hope we would have better tools on this space too to have the conversations, because this leaves people feeling like they were never good enough.

Me as manager, testing the organization. Today the target of testing is purchasing computers, where I explore the boundaries; and training budgets, both in terms of money out of pocket and time unavailable for other work. #Testers can surely turn everything into testing.

We worked with @rinkkasatiainen for 9 months to grow #TechExcellence in the team, from within. To remember the time, I used gource and my cringy video editing skills to create a keepsake. This is what we look like working on our codebase. Movement is work.

Looks like we had 85 summer trainees this summer. From what I experience, the number is limited by mentors, and it makes me kind of happy to have a steady annual influx of people getting their experiences with #Vaisala. There is a need of constant training positions, not only summertimes, and every company should pitch in to training next generations of professionals doing the work.
-
#Vaisala seems to have 37 open summer trainee positions now. And this is still missing the three we should open with teams close to me. We will have one for infra, two for sw development.
Difference between "Giant Leap" and "Summer Trainee" is that the first runs their own prototype creation project during summer, the latter shares project with teams.

#FooConf calls for speakers. 2nd edition, in Helsinki, Nov 7th. Submit and make our choices in program committee (that I am in) harder with good options. #DevConferences
-
@mirjam_diala The particular inspiring story was that they did in fact include unit testing regardless of 5x cost. It turns out it improved quality (as experienced as noise after releases) and lowered the costs.
All I learned from that is that #NoEstimates would have been a better approach.
-
I was told I have 'great energy' when repeating instructions in an open space conference. I have a career (on testing) built on the idea that I treat repetition as opportunity for change with exploratory testing, and I am just delighted I get four opportunities to either succeed or fail with opening the space in this #SOSC23 event

Listening to @bischoffdev at #DevTalks on Smoke Tests and Mirrors

Story of adding programmatic quality gates to pushing to master in an organization that was used to spending most of their time on unfinished work. Pushing though change makes a fun story but also the ripple effects are scary here. 50 people leaving in a transformation. #DevTalks

The talk now at #DevTalks is on #ModelBasedTesting, topic I was working on 20 years ago. The speaker’s title promises one trillion dollars savings a year. I have to say that while I like MBT these sales talks don’t add to my enthusiasm.
-
Back when I was not manager, my solution to #ISTQB (which is BAD) was that I taught my colleagues. I allowed them to take certs if they felt the letters would help them in life.
Now I don't have time to teach all of my colleagues as much on #testing as I'd like. So I set the ball rolling. People get to take #BBST.
I have taken four different modules and failed on two. They were *that hard*. But even when failing, I learned so much that I will take them still and they will improve me.

I watched @ez test on video and narrate for a full length talk, and I recommend that.
https://vimeopro.com/newcrafts/newcrafts/video/949429357My highlights:
- Definition of #ExploratoryTesting: testing, thinking what and why it matters while doing it
- Reference to microheuristics, decision rules for the moment and shoutout to @alex_schl
- #curious as polite way saying you have degrees of disagreement on how great things areThanks for recording #NewCrafts, many talks worth watching there.
-
@lisihocke @newcrafts Lisi, heart felt thank you for these notes. Another great #newcrafts and you enable us who didn’t travel to enjoy the contents. ❤️

Everyone is testing in production. At least I’m looking at the results. -Abby Bangser #observability #HUSTEF

You want to prioritize tools that allow asking new questions. - Abby Bangser #HUSTEF

In a few hours, it's shift of cities, from Helsinki, Finland to Budapest, Hungary. True my just in time planning habits, I now know I will open #HUSTEF with my keynote on impact on Wednesday, and can meet up with my local team member tomorrow. Yes, one of my team's developers is in Budapest.
Excited to see so many people I have gotten to know over the years, and that this is the last one as I have already said no to 18 requests after this.
-
It's funny to think in terms of retiring from public speaking, but that is sort of what I am doing. I have already said MANY no's where I used to say yes on doing a talk, and will only be delivering the two I committed before my resolution.
#HUSTEF https://hustef.hu is something I still look forward to. I am again traveling with @Mii so I plan on learning++ with the conversational ping pong her brilliant mind brings.
