I avoided - or that was my intention until the game started - the 50/50s but my calf and hamstring still felt the pain the next day Totally worth it though

I went back to England last year and couldn't believe how many flags there were, I was shocked and not in a good way

that's not the role of QA to be a gatekeeper, they give the CTO and President information on the bugs and testing but it's a business decision to ship or not

Not really that impressive, that's Testing Quick Attacks 101

QA? Or testers?

the worship of death? try all the videos of 'lethal kinetic strikes' on speedboats

somehow I dont think regime change is gonna happen before the midterms or even before 2028

Epstein files and plummeting poll numbers are more likely reasons

yes, there's a group still goes once a week on Monday and I go when I can. There's also one on Wednesday at the main Social Security office Totally normal people there, not being paid a dime

yeh, my natural pond in Michigan has lost about 15 feet, the snow we're getting now won't be enough to regain it

so as stupid an idea as the tariffs then

your question implies that the person in charge of tariffs has any idea of the effect of using them...

It's rebounding on them, support for ICE is now negative They're going after the weak and easy targets and dont care about citizenship as Miller has set them daily targets

that sucks, hope you get to work with a good tester/QA person at some point so you get to see what they can do

so, QA should be noticing that the testers are raising tickets like this and step in and give the testers some guidance on what/how they are testing I've worked with a clients test team who were not given any training on the system so they were raising bugs like spam clicking button 100 times, quickly resizing window 30 times, pasting War and Peace.. gave them some training and direction and they started to find problems that actual users would be finding

They find all the things the devs and their automated tests missed, then they mentor the devs in how to test for these and they work out how the bug could have been found earlier. Rinse and repeat until the tester is struggling to find issues and has coached the devs out of his job

yes - testing gives information, what is done with that information is a business decision

how did misunderstanding a feature and writing pages on it help, not sure I follow the logic of why this made them a good QA person? Do you mean the features were not written well and so writing code for them was going to produce errors?

Communicating a bug clearly is testing/QA 101

yes - devs are great at coding so get them to write the tests and then I, a good tester, (not to be confused with QA) can work with them on what are good tests to write. With this in place I can confidently test to find the edge cases, usability issues etc And when I find them we can analyze how the issue could have been caught sooner

For a narrow browser window (< 1170) the contents section floats over the contents which is distracting

Jerry Weinberg, Secrets of Consulting (1985) - "No matter how it looks at first, it's always a people problem." - no matter how technical a problem seems, its root cause always involves people—their choices, communication, management, or skills—making human factors central to any solution, from software development to complex systems

the broken windows theory that was shown to be flawed? :)

Just looked and they are $23.00/hour in my area (SW Michigan)

Sure - on the front page I put "QA", that took me to the jobs page where the AI was asking me for more details so I put "remote" This gave "There are 57 remote matches", the Sales Engineer was about #19

Looked for a QA remote role and one of the top results was for a Sales Engineer and nearly all the rest were just generic engineer roles
