Comment on Large Dirt Hole a.k.a. Grand Canyon

Nils-Holger Nagele — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 21:27:33 GMT

Great exploratory testing and description of the Grand Canyon. The reader feels as if in it.
You find bugs everywhere. Expectations, I try to not expect anything from anybody, any place or anything.
Only expect a lot of myself. Careful about disguarding boundaries to discover the truth. Calculating
the risk and preserving health are paramount. Awesome that you follow your style and do things that
are in harmony with your personality. It is good to implement best practices though and continuously
learn to improve in all domains... :)

Comment on Brilliance Formed?

All ideas have already been thought. To combine them in new ways is key and come up with new concepts, that is new thinking. What a neat image the Eagle Nebula.
Wow, the Grand Canyon I'd love to visit it and walk in the nature. Some day, when I have worked hard and decide that I deserve a special vacation treat at the most for a
week, intense in everything I do. Push myself to exhaustion, often heard relax a bit Nils. I'll relax and do nothing when I'm dead. In > 50 years I hope. Overthinking everything
is also a specialty of mine, analysing and going through all possible scenarios. Saying fancy words produces serotonin in a programmers/testers mind. TDD the last Word. Scott Bellware.:-)
What about The big black hole as an eye catcher. Words produce images in peoples minds, metaphers...

Lol, this is excellent. An excel spreadsheet that is a breakdown of household grocery expenses over the last 3 years seems like a great way to prove your point. I may give that a try with some of MY bills! :)

Hi Lanette, seems like I missed a great Tolkien-inspired talk - you should come speak at Eurostar one time :-)
Liked the quotes (especially the skydiving one), the pictures AND the content, thanks.

I couldn't make it to the presentation last night - feeling unwell. I went over our slide deck via Jon's tweet http://twitter.com/jbtestpilot/status/10333189774

awesome material, and I wish I could attend the talk :)

I will look forward for a video recording...

Comment on Cold Hard Logic

Nils-Holger Nagele — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:09:52 GMT

This is the second time you use the term well intended developers. Does that imply that there are evil intended developers? I'm a developer. Are testers the controllers of developers. Developers the Model, Testers the Controllers and Customers the View? I adhere to cold hard logic and putting personality and emotions aside in fact finding and rational decision making. Hard as steel, fast as the wind and tough as leather. You are right that putting the customer first is what it's all about. The customer must find business value added to the software solution. Grow to love it and lock in long term.

I think your talk really did improve from PNSQC to QASIG. You got a lot more confident, and I think that makes your message stronger. And you handled Q&A pretty smoothly, especially since some of it was comments without a clear question to respond to.

On the standing up thing, you also could try to stay seated as much as possible before the talk. Last night you were standing up beforehand.
