@teignroy2 what was the answer to this question? I've been holidaying in Tier 2 for 2 weeks,
do I need to head back to a risker location?

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

@TheKingcognito @martin466004 @harrismonkey I'm questioning everything I thought I knew...

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

@FriendlyTester I'm saying that's an excellent safety net design

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

@stewartdee55 @LateBrakeShow @Carpervert I suspect the intersection on the venn diagram of Car enthusiasts and Gemma Atkinson fans is very very very small :)

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

@LateBrakeShow @Carpervert @InkSharkman As other have said.. That would be @VaughnGittinJr , I'll keep my order on hold till Monday just in case... 🤞

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

@Carpervert Head down for the breakfast club Sundays, it's an impromptu car show, museum trip and great nosh..

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

any update on an ETA @DBSgovuk ?

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

"customer expectations"

Don't give an *exact* time you will be back and when you overrun not give an update...

@ministryoftest adjective

"having administrative control or authority" , you can still be a technical SME 'manager' without the old fashioned view of a 'line manager'. Companies are now understanding this and creating 'technical management' roles with no pesky HR stuff

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

Exactly this..

[Michael Bolton @developsense.bsky.social @michaelbolton]

Testing is socially difficult because of people’s natural desire to avoid trouble. This prompts them to avoid thinking about trouble, which means that they don’t look for it. But if you don’t try to find the trouble that’s in your product, that trouble will eventually find you.

Once a tester has a deep understanding of your business and domain, they are incredibly valuable. #tester #testing #softwaretesting

@DannyDainton I've got as far as checking it out, making some small tweaks, now figuring out how to best debug handlebars while running some tests. I'll soon hopefully be able to add some help.

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

I love an error page giving the details of your stack, especially when it's a government site...

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

@DannyDainton As per Anand, far from a a JS expert but was looking for something to get my teeth into while looking for new role so this gives me a good excuse. will get setup, have a look round and ping on GH ( especially as I used the newman reporter in last place, seems only fair)

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

@TheTestDoctor @LEGO_Group nice.. I'm currently just starting book 2 with my son on ours

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

@ministryoftest tough decision and so sad but the right decision....to quote @PeterCrouchPod , you'll be #backstronger

[Mark Jones @toffeetester]

@Carpervert she strikes me more of a happy hardcore gal than the dub n bass of a Lakota Friday...
