If I can figure out how to get clients for my software testing consulting company, I’d be unstoppable!

The marketing, branding, client acquisition? It’s tough. If you know of companies looking for software testing/QA, let me know.

Lee Jensen @leejensen.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

At this point, I’m feeling antsy. Like it’s time to get back into the world. I’ve been trying to build an independent Software Testing consulting company. It’s not as easy as I thought it’d be. Testing software is the fun part.

What's the economic sentiment like right now in Seattle? A known tech heavy capital? Scary, nervous, uncertain. Over 100k people are looking for work. Lots of layoffs. www.kiro7.com/news/local/s...

‘Scariest time economically since Great Recession,’ layoffs hit struggling Seattle region

“This is kind of the scariest time economically for the Seattle region since the Great Recession in 2009," said an economic expert.

Unemployment in Seattle is 5.1%. This is above the nat'l average! This is bad! I feel the pain! This doesn't count the people who are long-term unemployed or those exhausted their benefits, so it's likely higher. And it's getting worse! Cost of living keeps getting higher!

What QA will show you is the deeper systemic issues in your process: - Shortened timelines because upstream variability - Unclear requirements from the start - Last-minute decisions & scope changes - Late/no involvement in planning & design - QA as a catchall vs designing for quality

If you’re hiring, know someone who is, or can point me toward opportunities, I’d be incredibly grateful. Even a small lead helps. You’d be my hero!

I’m open to a wide range of roles. I took a longer sabbatical than planned due to health & disability reasons — it was necessary & ultimately really helpful! Now, I’m in a much better place & ready to get back to work. As someone w/ disabilities, it’s really hard as there is a lot of bias out there.

Lee Jensen @leejensen.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Hi 👋I’m putting this out there because it’s time for serendipity to help me. I’m actively looking for immediate work in QA/software testing: contract, temp, freelance, or full‑time. 👇

Lee Jensen @leejensen.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

I'm thinking of starting a software testing/QA focused newsletter! (Well, I've actually started) QA is very broad & very deep in topics. I have a lot of different interests I’ll be writing about. What areas of QA interest you?

Lee Jensen @leejensen.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

Ah. Kinda reminds me of HTML in the 90s! 😂 Very nostalgic!

Lee Jensen @leejensen.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

I’ve survived many battles with the Grim Reaper. Sadly, there’s no playbook on how to restart life after major, disabling health events. I 💙 what I do as a software tester. I really want to help people make the best quality software possible!

Lee Jensen @leejensen.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

My 2 main goals right now: Find a job, freelance clients. Find a safe place to live When you have disabilities, finding a safe job & safe home is hard when so many systems are volatile towards the disabled.

Quality doesn't happen by luck. Making more informed decisions, removing assumptions, optimizing processes will improve the quality of your software!

010

Lee Jensen @leejensen.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

The bug you found that gets fixed in the code, isn’t the root cause of the bug. It’s the choices, decisions, assumptions, processes (or lack thereof), that caused the bug in the first place.

Lee Jensen @leejensen.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

Ooh! I think I need to do this as well! Similar to the Jim Carrey movie: "Yes Man"

Well, if you have no responsibility for AI usage, why are you allowing its usage? If you are using AI or encouraging people to use AI features, that seems like an endorsement. “Completeness, truthfulness, accuracy…” so, lying is ok then? Why use/offer AI features if accountability is not valid?

000

Lee Jensen @leejensen.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

AI responsibility. I just saw this on a websites ToS: “We take no responsibility for, and we do not expressly or implicitly endorse, support, or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, acceptability, or reliability of AI Features, including, but not limited to any AI Outputs.”

Some people joke about AWS outages. Some offer virtual hugs (HugOps!). But outages like this can cost real money and real reputation. For Eight Sleep smart mattresses, they began to overheat and become locked into inclined positions at 2 AM!

Everyone wants great software. Few want to do what it takes to make it great. Every user story, every feature, every integration — bugs live there. “Good enough” is an excuse. “No one will notice.” They do.

It depends. Senior tends to be hands-on. After that: lead, staff, principle, etc, tends to be more mentoring, planning focused.

Lee Jensen @leejensen.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

Or maybe I just need to better learn how to use social media. Shrugs.

It also seems like a lot of people went to LinkedIn to post. LI seems to be a lot of engagement, but they lack useful social media features. Do you post? Write articles? Use their newsletter feature? Where are we supposed to be posting now to get engagement? Leads to conversation, connection?

Lee Jensen @leejensen.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

When the bird site exodus happened, a lot of people came to Bluesky, especially in the tech space. But it feels like engagement is lacking here. On Threads, tons of engagement. You have 500 chars to work with, when Bluesky is 300 chars. It'd be better if Bluesky went to 500 chars per post.

There's one thing missing: a job. I'm trying to find solutions for it, but it's difficult. I've overcome so many other difficulties so it's just one more thing. No one cared when I got sick, so I expect no one to care that I'm a close to healed as I can be right now.

As I'm building a software testing agency, I'm trying to build in public. I'm looking at all things SEO to build it in from the start. When I scan the site using SEO scanners, I get a good score, so the fundamentals are there.
