I'm VERY happy we're back in touch.

If you're into software development, you should follow him and read his blog.

Very cool stuff from a very cool guy.

My pal @agileguy.bsky.social is the reason I use the tag "testerfromleic".

We worked together back in the day. He'd always refer to me as "The Tester from Leicester". As a wannabe MC, I digged the rhyme 😊.

So when it was time to hop on social media, I needed a username....

And here we are :)

If you're looking for practical, real-life examples of AI helping an actual engineer get shit done, and what they learned in the process, you should follow Dan.

Can also confirm, he's a lovely human ❤️.

@friendlytester.bsky.social Hey Rich 👋🏾

I've figured out a way to be on Bluesky a bit more...

Hey @friendlytester.bsky.social I think @chrisoldwood.bsky.social has beaten us to nerd stand-up comedy act 2025!

These are excellent sir 😂

Hey @friendlytester.bsky.social 👋🏾

I've been really rude on here. Let me fix that now.

I'm so glad I spotted your post and learned about System Seeing Ruth 🙏🏾

Well done! That's impressive 💪🏾

Is this with the help of our favourite slightly sweary and very strong Dutch friend?

A little systems seeing adventure for the new year. The idea is sketch-journaling to better understand the situations we’re in, and care about. And if that is interesting, the “starter kit” offers prompts to help get that practice going.

A quick post to say:

2024 was as eventful as I thought it would be.

There were highlights (podcast, book).

There were lowlights (type 2 diabetes, losing 3 months to stress)

But I have high hopes for 2025.

More big goals.
More big fears.

Let's see how this goes!

Hahaha!

He's a disgrace 😂

Thanks Maaret 😊

You're the best 🙏🏾

Wow! Cheers Mike!!!

Clearly I need to spend more time here because that's AWESOME!

A test strategy will detail the approaches that you'll use, the structure of your testing, how you will report on your testing, any sources of oracles or heuristics that help drive your testing, and how you actually plan to execute your testing

Excellent #TestBash 99 Second Intro to Test Strategies from @testerfromleic.bsky.social - here is just a tiny snippet of a tinny snippet!
