Writing
Writing. It’s hard. Discipline is the hardest action to take. Writing courses are not on my agenda, but Ship 30 for 30 and Write of Passage are good frameworks for improving your skills.
- Start with the fundamentals of headlines, musical writing, and fine-tuning your categories and sharing.
- Social media is a virtuous cycle of writing.
- Compress your writing.
Writing is hard! Enjoy it.
ChatGPT, Testing, and Thinking Clearly
I use ChatGPT on a daily basis. I use it most effectively to organize my thoughts and receive feedback. Often my own distraction is the problem. Then I asked myself, how could this be different?
As a software tester I have a toolbox at my disposal. Like everyone in the past, you searched Google, and then skimmed blogs. If I read a series of articles and ask questions, I might lose track of my thoughts. With ChatGPT, the generative questions and lists provide a decent place to start without causing me fatigue. Automation never gets tired of asking questions.
I would appreciate your help. I would like to build something that improves the process of testing software. It’s a rough outline of questions. If you would like to contact me, please use my first name at this address or this contact me here.
Books
I’ve added a new section to my website with my book summaries. I was inspired by Derek Siver’s book notes.
