He really can.

After talking with a lot of people about working from home and particularly regarding constant remote meetings, I don't think the main concern is how to be productive, but rather how to stay sane. Let's figure that out first. Let's be kind to each other.

A grand thought about America: I might venture that cross-society parental stress under pandemic could forge a new parental voting bloc. That perhaps now universal child care will be regarded as a necessity, not some kind of indulgence. farhad manjoo (former bluecheck) nytimes.com/2020/04/22/opi…

1) Pretty much as long as I've been in this business, I've been griping about *reification* That's the problem of turning ideas and concepts and images — and people, for that matter — into *objects*. Reification is pandemic in software development, and it's pandemic in testing.

1) An epiphany a year ago informs part of our definition of testing: Testing is the process of evaluating a product by learning about through *experiencing*, exploring and experimenting, which includes to some degree questioning, studying, modeling, observation, inference, etc.

Q: When I was 4, my sister was 2. I am now 44. How old is my sister? Programmer: 44 - (4 - 2) = 42 Tester:

1) Want to evaluate the relevance of your testing? How much of it is focused on what the designers and builders intended? Now ask how much of it is focused on the intentions, needs, and desires of the *actual* people who use the *actual* product—and the people who support them.

I will never write anything as concise and explanatory about race in America as this.
