Article Series

Some topics refuse to fit in a single article.

You know the type. You start writing about testing, and three thousand words later you realise you've only covered the prerequisites. Some subjects are like that colleague who says "quick question" and then talks for forty-five minutes — they need room to breathe.

These series are designed to be read in order. Each part builds on the last, like layers in a well-architected system — except these actually have documentation. More are in the works. Subscribe to the newsletter if you want to know when they land.

The testing curriculum I wish someone had handed me on day one instead of a Confluence page titled "QA Process" that hadn't been updated since 2017.

Coming soon

More multi-part series are in the pipeline. Technical deep dives, satirical parables about the unwritten rules of corporate tech, character studies of the archetypes lurking in every engineering team, and a hands-on machine learning debugging adventure for people who've been told "the model just works" one too many times.
