@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!
