TestBash Manchester Tweets!

October 13, 2018 by Hilary

I finally got around to putting all of my tweets from TestBash Manchester, and Test.Bash(); into a Twitter Moment! They are here: https://twitter.com/i/moments/1051140097486262272 Note that the Test.Bash(); section is a bit light because I was very nervous about my talk, and went to the quiet area to review/tweak it during some of the talks.

April 22, 2018 by Hilary

Sigh… KalamazooX is over. Most likely won’t be another one. Not sure what will be able to help me like it has now, but we’ll see. It’s not just a conference, it’s all of the people that I get to see. Sure I see them individually or in sub-groups other times of the year, but …
