I'm a technical tester working in a context-driven agile fashion inside a local government. Howdy. I'm @ahockley in my other life.

Sometimes it's fun to test the impossible.
Can't work on process improvement tasks because the process for getting me access to things I'm supposed to fix is broken. #meta

Was moved out of my previous cube. New cube not ready to be fully set up. Good thing I have a laptop. Coworker suggested pushing my stuff around in a shopping cart.

Transitioning out of a role is a good opportunity to figure just what the hell it was that you've been doing for the last 8 years...

How is my organization not already using this? We LOVE killing trees! paperprograms.org/
Paper Programs

Paper Programs

Run Javascript programs on pieces of paper, using a projector and camera. Physically hold programs in your hand, and see them come to life, as if by magic.

Pondering the dynamics of a job title that has the same word in it twice...
Pro tip: there's a difference between 6:30am and 6:30pm. Also: why on earth are we still using 12-hour times *anywhere* in the technical world?

Merry Christmas to all my tester friends. Try not to find bugs in your presents, okay?

Exploring the "consistency by accident" software pattern.
When that CSS shading bug turns out to be someone's monitor with a funky contrast adjustment...

Maybe I should repeat this every day: as testers, one of our most important jobs is to reveal problems that threaten the value of the product and the on-time, successful completion of the project (at every level of granularity). So whatever we're doing, does it help with that?
