“Rocket science isn’t hard; put enough explosives on it and it *will* go up. The hard part is controlled flight and recovery.”

Explosive bolts aren’t testable “in prod”. You have to test thousands of bolts before the ones going on the launches rocket, and make assumptions based on those success metrics.

Similarities between rocket science and testing:
• Observe, interact, repeat.
• Combining resources and knowledge.
• Acknowledging there can be a point of no return.

Embracing failure and failing fast is something @jrosaproenca learned from being a researcher. You need to fail in order to later succeed. #CAST2019
Frustrations were felt as work was passed from developers to @jrosaproenca in test. He was finding very simple bugs, finding there was a lack of testability in the product, which lead to slow flaky tests. There wasn't a quality mindset in the team. #CAST2019
These frustrations led @jrosaproenca moving to a developer role. Led him to empathise with developers as there were pressures to develop as much as possible. There was a slow feedback loop and estimation fallacies (such as testing shouldn't take as long as development) #CAST2019
I was at #CAST2018
It was a lovely conference
This is my 3rd CAST in 10 years
The first CAST I attended - I didn't have the money to pay for tickets or stay.
@michaelbolton gifted me a ticket through his miles and also let me stay at his home
I also met @JerryWeinberg there.

On the morning of #CAST2018 is when the news leaked that Jerry had passed away to continue his work with Virginia Satir
I wasn't sure what to think because in my mind Jerry has no death. Physical, yes.
Are we really associating just physical existence as "life"?

I am sure @JerryWeinberg had moved himself beyond physical existence even when he was alive. That is why we succeeded because we felt he was with us helping us through the wisdom he had made us believe it is our own.
