.... The suggestion, guidance and advise has its tag and price. It has to respected and valued for first by the self, and it should not be given for no returns."
Mastering this takes life time.

Today, I see and feel, I did good when:
"I stay away from letting know what to do and why, and how and when. Keeping quiet, when I know that is not right in the context and minding my business and to my limits, is peaceful. ...

In recent times, the LLMs and Agentic AI platforms have got better in pretending they are not hallucinating and making the engineers believe it.
Mark these words of me! I am confident when I say this and my hallucination score is 0.14.
What most of the software engineers who are building or/and using the Agentic AI, SLM and LLMs do not notice is,
The engineers themselves are hallucinating for first.
You will be remembered for how trustful you are, how you spoke, responded, assisted, and how you solved the problems together with the people of your teams and organization;ย not for what and how you delivered.
It is forgotten in the next 3rd sprint cycle.
Look at how the STeP-IN summits have travelled in the last two decades.
It has brought all of us to junction of Careers in Software Testing to Autonomous Testing discussions at the 23rd summit.
See you in the 23rd STeP-IN Summit. It is easy to spot me!

I am working on ML models which are trained for specific tasks. Here, I work on accuracy.
The accuracy I see is, "can the model interpret what it is working on for first?".
What industry expects is not the craftsmanship; the expectation is delivery.
The practicing engineer knows to balance between these two, and practices by giving for what they are being paid.
I submitted a theme proposal for the STeP-IN Summit 2026. Below is the theme I proposed, along with the abstract explaining why I believe it is the need of the hour.
"Restructuring and Orchestrating Myself and Tests with AI and Agents"
