Maybe you have a good idea but you need to work on that relationship first I wrote about this in my latest blog post: nicolalindgren.com/is-it-the-re...

Is It the Relationship or the Idea that's the Problem?
I share some mental models I have on relationships, ideas and how I think people view others. These can be useful when introducing new ideas.

I should’ve told her that I’ve met all the dinosaurs and we used to hang out. Instead I just looked at her confused then smiled.

Meanwhile this weekend, my daughter asked me if, before she and her brother were born, if there were dinosaurs around when I was younger.

I mean, I've had people make comments where they think I don't have enough experience to know what I'm talking about. They think I just started my testing career. Also had some consultants in my team think I was younger than them... when I had a good few years on them. 😅

I liked how @martin-n.bsky.social encourages his team to use Quality Criteria to categorises bugs and test cases. Useful for teams to see what types of risks are being addressed (and in turn what are not covered). @oredev.org

Baking looks great 😍 For me, it’s the small things that really make me miss my mum since I lost her 1.5 years ago. Eg. Baking and not being able to send her a photo of what I baked.

I’m finding the balance here tricky. I tend to approach it where some things are on both, and others are only on one or the other. (Does mean my followers on both platforms may see a bit of repetition).

You go a conference and your manager asks you what did you pick up from there. Please note that ‘I need to read the slides’ is not a great response. They usually want to know if anything was good enough to catch attention to remember. Being happy you got out, go where contents are interesting.
