The idea of extracting maximum labor is embedded in management thinking and practice.
Yet in most modern endeavors, /enabling maximum learning/ will yield better results across a host of different measures.

When a great leader, mentor, and friend dies, it’s like watching a great ship going over the horizon. It may be gone from our sight, but it’s still here in our memories and in the things that it brought to us.
Farewell, @JerryWeinberg. Farewell. Love and hugs to all his friends.

New blog post - My Testing Values

I frequently hear and see people claiming “We need to test everythIng, every time, all the time!” Other than the fact that doing so is not actually possible, I perceive a) a test strategy that is not risk-based, and b) reason to suspect lousy risk management on the project.

Die as a phrase. Yes! There's no such thing as "manual" testing. Testing is done with the mind, not the hands. People need a dictionary. "Human Testing" works just fine.
