@testobsessed I am off social media Mon-Sat in Lent, so I didn’t see this in time. Can I get in on the next one, if that happens?

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

@testobsessed Mine too. Hubs great-grandpa Frank came from that region. I see now where he gets some of his character from.

@artiegold @MrAlanCooper I love how @StephenAtHome treats his name like a swear word not allowed on TV and even started the hashtag #hewhoshallbenamed and has picked a few goodies from the list.

@MrAlanCooper VP Aaron Burr probably started it. Depending on definition of consequence-free. Both he & DJT will have faced the justice system. Burr was let off and set precedent, ended up fleeing. Reference: https://t.co/8ByQplnG4c

Cat in my house for the first time in very long time. No project to put him on the keyboard for. #TestingSoftware

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

@testobsessed Omg. I’ve been thinking about the Word Count Sim a lot. I’m planning a series of workshops for post-pandemic work-life. Any remaining willingness yo letting me to lead it in the Midwest?

I wonder where my stunt hamster went. Still have my mug tho.

Hello software testing peeps.
It’s been awhile.
I’ve been playing Wordle like everyone else. Curious: is it common for testers to solve this game sooner than others?

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

@KirbyGlad hi, software tester here. For the love of all things geek please PLEASE run a mock caucus with high schools across Utah to test your app. Teach the students to caucus AND test the app. Do it. Now. All the schools you can get; same day & time. Don't be an #IowaCaucusDisaster

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

The #IowaCaucusDisaster teaches us that testing matters. Not just unit tests & data integrity tests, real world exploratory testing. Hypothesis testing. Design testing. You must have someone willing to challenge assumptions and push for proof. https://t.co/vdl3PJQ47e

This may be my favorite #Entrepreneurship post/thread of 2020, we’ll see if anything unseats it in the coming months.

Reply to this with the name of a fake startup and I’ll write an ad for it in the style of an NYC subway campaign.

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

The heyday of custom software is over (sorry if that’s news to you) and it’s time to be much more intentional, smart, and focused on HUMAN problems. Design��more importantly user fit—is crucial to making software. Good design is a must. https://t.co/UxGnxepWgT

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

It’s good to have a good space to work. Thanks @collectiveidea

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

The future of software & tech is human focused. I believe in BDD, exploratory testing, and all other human focused techniques. https://t.co/f8Tr1yOxR8

Tech culture must change.
Will you support a voice willing to speak up? Will you be a voice?

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

@LauraTrev Definitely want to read it.
I can contribute and I know someone who might be willing to make a well substantiated contribution too.

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

@menloprez @menloinnovation Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

You are.

[Chasten Glezman Buttigieg @Chasten]

Yes you are always growing, and yes you may be flawed and imperfect, but my goodness you are enough.

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

@danielmorrison @jackbaty @RoamResearch What? And you didn’t share with me?
Checking it out now.

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

Real.
And deserved.

[Simone Giertz @SimoneGiertz]

can somebody please confirm that this is actually happening and that I'm not just making this up

[Melissa Bugai @MelBugai]

@testobsessed Go you!
