A huge shortcut here is just ask your team what slows them down. It takes way longer to find the answer if you rely only on data that’s automatically collected, and don’t pay enough attention to what your team says. Because qualitative data is data.

In life, it doesn’t matter what happens to you or where you came from. It matters what you do with what happens and what you’ve been given. And the only way you’ll do something spectacular is by using it all to your advantage.

One roadblock almost never ruins you. There might not be 1000 ways to accomplish something, but there is almost always more than one way. Know what you want. Be flexible about how to get there.

Lots of good ideas in James Shore @[email protected]'s article on testing: "This pattern language... doesn’t use broad tests, doesn’t use mocks, doesn’t ignore infrastructure, and doesn’t require architectural changes." jamesshore.com/v2/projects/nu…

Once you've fixed a bug, stop and question yourself: How did this bug come about? You may notice structural issues in the code, tidy it up to prevent future bugs. You may notice missing tests, add the tests.

Most Big Tech companies don't employ dedicated people to do testing (eg QA, SDET). Ones that do: it's frequently for hardware or software released monthly or less frequently. It's not because they don't care about quality: but because they found more efficient ways to get to it.

The gift of a beginner is fresh eyes. The longer you're in a field, the harder it is to perceive new truths. Your mind is biased toward refining what you're already doing instead of exploring fresh terrain. Take your expertise and apply it to something new.
