Let’s play two truths and a lie. I’m a recovering perfectionist. I’m a software tester. I’m not on threads.

We all know Midjourney AI can make some very professional images. But what about random boring photos of everyday people? I found a way to do so, and it's scary just how realistic they are. 9 examples:

As a Charles Wesley fan, I’m here to help with one of the best (and most often incorrectly edited) Christmas hymn lyrics of all. Do you know which lyric it is? Hint: it’s in “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” /1

The fact that Bob Barker dying at 99 means he got as close to 100 without going over gives me comfort.

I've been testing how ChatGPT and other Large Language Models can be used for test data generation. In this post I show how an LLM can be run locally and how the API can be used as a drop-in replacement for ChatGPT's version, avoiding privacy concerns: houseoftest.se/post/test-dat…

There are a few #SoftwareTesting communities on X / Twitter using various names. Most seem to be dominated by people promoting. I’m happy to share the “original” is doing well. Check it out 👇 teapaw.org/i/communities/16697914…

The procrastination that I tend to struggle with the most is social media, but minor chores are a close second. Which one makes you procrastinate the most?

I can finally talk about this! The Visual Studio team has been doing a lot of work to bring Copilot chat right into the IDE - and the results are awesome! 🎉 You'll be able to ask Copilot to explain a piece of code, identify issues in your code, suggest fixes and generate tests!

Dear CEOs: mass layoffs are counterproductive. Hundreds of studies: firms that downsize end up being less profitable than peers that find other ways to lower costs (e.g., exec pay cuts, unpaid leaves). Layoffs bleed talent & breed guilt+anxiety. They should be the last resort.
