Just a quick note to those software developers among my dear readers. Everyone else, well, move along. Programmers might be interested to check out the latest QA Podcast, which features a conversation with XP guru Kent Beck. Here’s a quote:
In XP-style development, two people typically write code together. They’re having a conversation–the keyboard is going back and forth. So you already have that second set of eyes looking at the code. Say you’re working on the code, I might be thinking about the next test that we could be writing.
From a media relations perspective, I really dig things like QA Podcast. Instead of being at the media’s mercy to pick up stories, we surpass the media entirely. Mind you, it’s not like the site’s getting the readership of the SD Times, but it’s doing all right.
