Written for testers, by a tester but those of you happening to be managers, product owners or anything like that I think you can learn from this too.

@HannesLindblom I agree with the people recommending Thinking in Systems; for me that book "made it click" a lot better than 5th Discipline or An Introduction to General Systems Thinking.

@VinWijNL Sure. Booked Feb 23rd so if I forget, please remind me .)

Recently I asked for help with PowerPoint Karaoke material and well, now I know who to ask and who you should ask: @VinWijNL . He can help you with both the setup and material. Highly recommended for your next conference or company event (hint, it's a Covid compatible activity).

Thank you @heather_reiduff 🙏

PowerPoint Karaoke connoisseurs; any tip for where to find a good basic image deck to start from? Internet was surprisingly not helpful here (or my searching skills failed me at least)

@FriendlyTester "Dad, I think you're broken, there's no food here..."

Glad to see the progress, wishing you the best!

@HelenaJ_M Flip it around: What could you do with those skills that would add value to a company? Tell companies you'll do that and then let them call it whatever they want... You're phenomenal after all and companies tend to want phenomenal...

@Steve_Dangle So when can we expect a video with in-depth analysis of who won this trade and what the long term implications of it might be?

[Erik Brickarp @Brickuz]

@91Tavares I read #TeamRangers ... The millisecond before my common sense kicked in was pretty entertaining .)

[Erik Brickarp @Brickuz]

@Beth_AskHer @ministryoftest My number one has already been suggested by @mrwiblog so I second that.

Another one I like is to learn your symptoms of nervousness (e.g. tapping your fingers) and do the complete opposite (force your hand still) when they occur. Sounds a bit silly but surprisingly effective.

@Steve_Dangle Penguins gets value out of unexpected players.
Panthers fails to get value out of expected players.
... This trade will defy logic no matter what happens...

@kristoffer_nord Take care ♥️

@FriendlyTester @james_christie ... but that's not really the conference's fault. Bottom line: I don't think £350+ is unreasonable but I think few can/are ready to make the necessary commitment to make it worth it... Done (finally .)

[Erik Brickarp @Brickuz]

@FriendlyTester @james_christie Personally I think a part of the problem with a £350+ online conference is not the price but how it's treated today. I think very few managers would allow employees to sit at home for 2 days to attend an online conference for instance making it hard to arrange good ones. 4/2

@HannesLindblom Här måste jag nog rätta dig:
Hävdar bestämt att t.ex. Evel Knievel är tämligen krossfunktionell, detsamma kan sägas om en stekpanna.
