SShine Bright Like a Diamond
Very excited to be working with the Sketch team starting this week. Had a great time with some of the folks attending WWDC and LayerConf.

Looking for some local security focused conferences and found DefendCon is happening in Seattle on Sept 26-27, 2019! They are still in CFP mode but speaking of cook acronyms, looks like they even…
I've been watching a ton of streamers on Twitch lately. I'm not one much for games but I love watching folks code and hack. Check out these folks doing cool things LIVE! Suz Hilton open source…
Assert(JS) Conf is back for 2019. If you're serious about testing in the modern JavaScript world, I recommend checking it out. This will be in Toronto on September 12th, 2019. The tickets are on…
The robots are coming and they are us. Everyone should go to a code school not only because code school grads aren't wanted for most dev jobs but your office roles are begging for your Jr dev…
We've all seen the software testing pyramid by now, in all it's various forms. There are a lot of interpretations about it's scope and applicability but it's proven to be a useful hueristic. Not…
After 5 years at Black Pixel and 1.5 years at 800 5th Ave , it's time again. Watch me age in reverse! Here's to 3 cool years at Foundry Interactive .
https://twitter.com/smariapena/status/1121193014175473669 Just got done with a local DevOpsDays conference. It was a hybrid single track plus OpenSpace style event. I missed a lot of talks for…
I don't know how much I've been able to accomplish at the office but I did meet one goal at least. Getting half the office to pick their first locks! If you're in Seattle, you can get a starter…
I pre-ordered this the moment I heard about it. From what I could tell it was the logical next step after Papanek's "Design for the Real World" . It is worth your time and a quick read. It's…
At my day job , we hire plenty of juniors, fresh out of code camp. We make a pretty decent effort to mentor and guide them. Of course, we could improve but I'm pretty proud of most the work we do…
Today in a conversation with software professionals, a topic came up about fear of moving roles/jobs because the person was load bearing and no one else knew how to do critical tasks. This struck me…
My colleague Alex @ Foundry is pretty much the only other Vue fan I know. We chatted recently about submitting talks to the local Meetup group . Here's my brain dump of talk ideas. Nothing…
When was the last time you ran brew cleanup or maybe a docker system prune -a or even a xcrun simctl delete unavailable eh? Spring cleaning, y’all! And don't forget to BACK UP YOUR DISK!

This magically appeared in my GitHub feed because I follow Kent C Dodds and saw his fork activity. I am a big fan of Awesome lists , snooping on other people's set ups and Wes Bos so this is…
Hello Seattle Vue party people. I've had a blast learning Vue recently and saw that Seattle now has a meetup group! I'll see you there! https://www.meetup.com/SeattleVueJS/
I caved under absolutely no peer pressure whatsoever at all. Not a victim of social media pressure or marketing in the slightest. They're mine, all mine. testops.dev && sheree.dev
Another round of end of month links I shared with my team. TestChan Links :vibration_mode: https://medium.com/@sgrif/no-the-problem-isnt-bad-coders-ed4347810270 https://go.nrwl.io/nrwl-connect…
I'm not crying, you're crying. Sidenote: I hate the term mentor/mentee. I believe in co-mentorship and skillsharing, we all have our own experiences and skills to lend each other.
Sourcing candidates is hard, recruiting is a whole ass profession. I don't do it as my primary job but it's a critical component of being succuessful at my work. I don't have any official experience…
My team is doin' this free GraphQL online bootcamp together and levelin' up en masse. Like anything free, buyer beware, but it's super fun so far and my team self organized and even did the homework…
My last team and the team before know that I share links to articles and tools constantly . When you're in the tech industry you have to stay up to date and informed. Keep a pulse on what's new and…
This is just oozing with value. For a young teen deciding what direction they want to head into, it's full of real and practical life advice and stories of success and overcoming failure. For the…
My pal and former colleague mentioned recently https://twitter.com/rudyrichter/status/1091725981797306368 I won't pretend that I'm truly great but I have seen some truly bad. https://twitter.com…
Wrap up of January links I thought were interesting that I posted to my team throughout January. Testing, Quality, Ops, Sec :foxwave: https://twitter.com/AlexanderOnTest/status/108096399508181401…
Now that I've spent some time walking down memory lane thinking about Kaleidoscope , I dredged up another nice document for NetNewsWire, this one is less of a test plan and more of an onboarding…
This is old and musty and I had to clip some things out but you might find it interesting. Shipping Kaleidoscope updates and then working on V2 was so much fun and I had the best team around. It's…
Today I grabbed the much anticipated Refactoring UI: Book by Adam Wathan and Steve Schoger . I follow both of them on Twitter but really became interested in the project after watching a…
I recently heard about a young gamer going after in-game bugs to exploit errors for goods. This gamer calls it glitching . Designers and front end devs have been calling it jenk or Janky . How to…
Circa 2005-2007 I was obsessed with Ruby and then later Rails. 2007-2009 was when I was really into web dev and was writing PHP to talk to MySQL and also pretending I knew anything about design. Boy…
I absolutely love my new Galago Pro from System76. On the inside, it's running Pop!OS and on the outside, well, see for yourself. I don't have sticker problems, I have sticker solutions .
I finally buckled down and spent some of my learning budget on Linux Academy. I had heard it was good but the price was high. What no one bothered to mention was just how good it is. Why it's worth…
Code school advice around getting into tech is all about networking but it's so often voiced in terms of what a connection might lead to suit or benefit you. That kind of thinking is self-serving…

My favorite bad-ass TPM Steph Datu shared this with the team today, it's a little old but a good walk through of junior front end web dev trivia that might come up in interviews. What is the level…
Whether your team is two or twenty. Whether your testers code or not. Whether your devs or ops folks get involved or not. There is really no reason not to dip your QA team of testers into Capture The…
I've been immersed in client services lately and wanted to share a very simple yet handy template. For every client project you have in flight, you should be sending a weekly checkin email about it…
https://twitter.com/search?q=upload%20resume%20next%20page&src=typed_query It's a straight up meme at this point but I think applicants aren't thinking this through. Upload your resume in a PDF file…
Be proactive, not reactive: build programs that reflect where the business/team is going not where it’s historically been. Kill sacred cows, kill your darlings: the traditions and ideas that got you…
Recently contributed to helping interview some PM candidates for a client. You may find these interesting or useful. They are clearly steeped in my own bias but I also tried to crosscheck them with…
Swapped my domain from feralscrutiny.com, a nod to my relative inexperience at the time, to Nice Catch! which is my favorite thing to hear at work. I am not repointing or forwarding traffic on account…
This is mostly for testers and QA professionals but the same is true for any office or knowledge worker. If you don't like the status quo, don't be a victim. Ask yourself "So? What are you going to…
Papanek's "Design for the Real World" I just finished this book and now I want every designer, developer, tester, project manager, and especially QA/testers to read this. This should be the required…
Now that I've been doing some independent consulting for iOS Software Testing I got myself some cards. They are goofy and I will probably only use them to try to win a free burrito or while my info…
Everyone's favorite RSS app for the Mac has a new version out. It's a 4.0 Public Beta built from the bones of the Lite version. Check out the official announcement! Oh, and please file some bug…
Agile certification mostly just reinforced my hatred of Scrum and my love for Kanban.
You probably won't ever need to create dozens of git repositories that have conflicted image files to diff and resolve, ( WINK ), but if you ever do, I got you covered:
I can't say too much that couldn't be uncovered by participating in the public beta but it's finally here and official. I'm especially proud of a corner-use-case I advocated to get turned into a solid…
Any interest? Hit me or Craigslist up, I have more!! Computer books are the worst thing to invest in as they are out of date before they are even printed. The thirst for knowledge can't be quenched…
It's silly but all I wanted to do was rotate my salutation when writing customer support emails. Hi. Hola. Hello. Howdy. Ahoy. Hey. Hey there. You get it. So I wrote to the folks at TextExpander and…
