@janetgregoryca.bsky.social and I chatted with @workroomprds.com in our latest Donkeys & Dragons @agiletfellow.bsky.social video chat. James explained how to use "ephemeral tools" to reduce toil when testing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV8R...

Now, it’s your turn.
Who are the women who have shaped your journey in tech? Tag them in the comments. Let them know how they’ve inspired you.

Let’s turn this week into a movement of recognition, appreciation, and celebration. 🎉💜

#WomenInTech

✨ @annemariecharrett.com – Champion of quality culture and leadership, blending strategy with heart.
✨ @charity.wtf – Observability badass reminding us that breaking (and fixing) things is part of the job.

Here are a few who have shaped ours:
✨ @lisacrispin.bsky.social and @janetgregoryca.bsky.social – The queens of agile testing, teaching us that quality is a team sport.
✨ @angiejones.tech – Automation guru and mentor extraordinaire, proving we can have it all.

And today, we’re kicking off with a question:
👉 Who are the women who shaped your journey in tech?

The ones who made you think, “Wow, I want to build like her.”
The ones who showed that great engineering isn’t just about writing code—it’s about collaboration, innovation, and lifting others up.

🌟 Celebrating Women in Tech 🌟

This week, we’re celebrating International Women’s Day in style. 💜
For the next six days, we’ll highlight the women who inspire, lead, and make tech better for everyone. From unsung heroes to industry game-changers—get ready for some serious inspiration.
