Joelle Tegwen: How to Break Through the 'Not My Problem' Mentality Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. As a consultant often entering teams when problems already exist, Joelle encountered a team that took months to get anything into production. While some IT leaders and QA folks didn't see this as problematic, Joelle discovered the QA team was actually struggling with constant retesting due to work coming back repeatedly. She helped the team articulate the value of needed changes and discovered they didn't know how to split stories effectively. By focusing on what they could do rather than what they couldn't, and implementing test automation to enable smaller stories, the team began making meaningful progress toward more sustainable delivery practices. Featured Book of the Week: How Minds Change by David McRaney David McRaney, who runs the podcast “You Are Not Smart” about cognitive biases, presents a powerful insight in “How Minds Change”: we don't actually change other people's minds through arguments or facts. Instead, we need to create space for others to reflect and change their own minds. Joelle recommends this book because it fundamentally shifted her approach to working with teams. The book introduces techniques like Deep Canvassing, which focuses on asking people to tell their story and share what's happening to them, rather than trying to convince them with logic alone. This approach aligns perfectly with Joelle's belief in allowing space for people to reflect while trusting that they have good answers within themselves. Self-reflection Question: How might your current approach to influencing change shift if you focused more on creating space for reflection rather than presenting arguments and facts? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

What if your testing tool didn't just run scripts, but thought like a tester? In this episode, George sits down with Nuwan Samarasekera, CEO of TestChimp, to explore how their AI-powered QA Co-Pilot is transforming the way development teams approach quality. We dig into how TestChimp's AI Testing Agents autonomously explore web applications, uncover critical bugs, and generate test insights, without waiting for test cases. Nuwan shares the story behind the platform, how it works under the hood, and why features like the dynamic MindMap are giving teams unmatched visibility into their applications. Whether you're leading QA, writing code, or managing releases, this conversation unpacks what it really means to test continuously, confidently, and collaboratively with AI in the driver's seat.  

What if your intern had a better executive assistant than your CEO? In this episode of TNW, Aydin sits down with Nick Sonnenberg—Wall Street veteran, bestselling author, and founder of Leverage—to explore how AI agents are radically transforming how work gets done.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: I'm a long time listener to the podcast. Thanks for reading and answering my question! I have over 20+ yrs experience as a manual QA and 6+ yrs experience as a SDET. I'm in a new role as a hybrid manual QA / SDET for a company that hasn't had QA for a few years. After a couple of months a new hire was added to support a new project in non-development or QA tasks. While waiting for the launch of the new project, senior leadership decided to have this new hire to help me with QA. They have no experience in QA or coding. I spent a considerable amount of time training them, and found it difficult. After a few months my manager told me the hire will transition to lead QA. They will NOT be my supervisor or manager. I will be answering directly to the manager as before. I feel sidelined since I didn't get hired on as a Sr. or Lead role. I've already been left out of numerous meetings catered to team leads only. The new hire is very vocal in meetings. They repeat my ideas as their own, and speak for me when I don't agree. It's exhausting to hold back ideas from the new hire or correct them and add context to the rest of the team when I disagree. I'm worried I'm training this new QA lead to be my replacement. What are your thoughts? I feel like the company culture is chaotic for the long term. Any thoughts what I should do in the short term and long term? Hi Dave and Jamison (as a unit would you answer to Davison?). Long time listener, first time caller. I recently joined a data-engineering team at chill 90s multi-national tech company. My boss and I are based in the UK, and two more junior engineers who do the bulk of the IC work are based in India. These two engineers seem to work hard, have far more domain knowledge and technical ability than me, and generally seem to do most of the work. There's also a senior engineer who's kind of absent. My boss is a ‘red personality' who's been at the org for at least a decade, who doesn't seem as close to the technical detail. He cares about the destination and wants to get there yesterday, but discussions about ‘ways of working' or the specifics of achieving the output seem to bore him. He characterizes such talk as risk-aversion. I'm shocked by some of the technical details. Tooling chosen specifically to bypass version control, editing Jupyter Notebooks to deploy changes to ‘production', dashboards that seem to have totally wrong data, etc. It seems like they will do the minimum required to make things ‘work' and then move on. Scalability or making things interpret-able for others just doesn't seem to weigh on their mind. It's then me as the new-joiner navigating their hacky code who inevitably wanders into all the pitfalls and gotchas. I've tried to advocate for better practices and lead by example. They nod along, but ultimately seem resistant to change. I need their help and experience with the codebase, but I also have this creeping sense that their working style is too sloppy and unprofessional. They don't report to me, and our mutual boss seems happy with the work. I feel a bit like the guy in Twilight Zone: I can see a gremlin wrecking the plane, but nobody else can see it, and my attempts to address the situation just seem a bit hysterical. What's worse, my gentle attempts at flagging the issues with my boss haven't gone down well. In my first performance review my boss mentioned something about a ‘us versus them attitude' and ‘assuming good intent'. What do you make of this situation? Am I the a-hole? Have you faced this sort of thing in the past? Is it time to consider old-reliable? Is 4 months too soon to quit a job?

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur les attaques du Jnim au Mali et la condamnation d'un journaliste français en Algérie. Gaza : polémique autour d'une organisation chargée de fournir de la nourriture  Les Nations unies et quelque 200 ONG appellent à la fin du programme de distribution d'aide soutenu par les États-Unis et Israël, à travers la Fondation humanitaire de Gaza (GHF). Pourquoi cette organisation pose-t-elle problème ? Quelles autres structures peuvent venir en aide aux Gazaouis ? Avec Nicolas Falez, journaliste au service international de RFI.  Mali : que sait-on des sept attaques simultanées du Jnim?   Le Groupe de soutien à l'islam et aux musulmans (Jnim), affilié à al-Qaïda, a revendiqué les sept attaques coordonnées lancées mardi contre les forces maliennes à Kayes, Nioro, Niono et dans plusieurs autres localités. Pourquoi ces offensives surviennent-elles près des frontières sénégalaise et mauritanienne ? Que sait-on du bilan humain ?  Avec David Baché, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI. Algérie : un journaliste français condamné à sept ans de prison   Arrêté en mai 2024 alors qu'il réalisait un reportage sur le club de football la Jeunesse sportive de Kabilye (JSK), le journaliste sportif Christophe Gleizes a été condamné à sept ans de prison par la justice algérienne pour « apologie du terrorisme ». Que lui reprochent les autorités algériennes ? Que révèle cette condamnation sur l'état actuel des relations franco-algériennes ? Avec Emmanuel Alcaraz, historien, chercheur-associé à Mesopolhis (Sciences Po Aix) et à l'IRMC (Institut de recherches sur le Maghreb contemporain). Et en fin d'émission, la chronique « Un œil sur les réseaux » de Jessica Taieb. Aujourd'hui, elle revient sur les réactions d'internautes après l'élection de Miss Côte d'Ivoire 2025.  

Au sommaire : Le Mali a subi cette semaine sept nouvelles attaques jihadistes simultanées dans des villes du sud et de l'ouest du pays. Une offensive qui fait craindre une expansion du JNIM, la branche sahélienne d'al-Qaïda, dans ces régions proches des frontières avec la Mauritanie et le Sénégal, mais également de la capitale Bamako. Le 27 juin 2025, était signé à Washington un accord de paix entre la République démocratique du Congo et son voisin rwandais. Cet accord de paix ouvre-t-il la voie à une nouvelle aire de stabilité, comme l'a déclaré le président congolais Félix Tshisekedi lors de son discours à la nation ? Enfin Donald Trump a annoncé l'interruption de la livraison du parapluie antimissile américain à l'Ukraine. Un coup dur pour l'Europe. Chaque semaine, des journalistes et éditorialistes africains décryptent l'actualité africaine et internationale.  Avec la participation de :  - Ousseynou Nar Gueye, directeur général du site d'information tract.sn et du mi-quinzomadaire numérique Tract Hebdo, vice-président de Rappels (Réseau des auteurs et producteurs de la presse en ligne du Sénégal) - Cécile Goudou, journaliste au service numérique du hub de RFI à Dakar - Elysée Odia, journaliste fondatrice du média en ligne Yabisonews.cd

C'est une « nouvelle menace pour la stabilité », écrit Afrik.com. Le site d'information nous rappelle que le JNIM, le Groupe de soutien à l'islam et aux musulmans, affilié à al-Qaïda, « accuse les habitants de Kayes et de Nioro d'avoir collaboré avec l'armée malienne lors d'opérations récentes ». « Dans des messages audios en peul et en bambara », poursuit Afrik.com, « les djihadistes menacent de couper tous les axes routiers menant à ces villes, et promettent de tuer tout homme intercepté sur ces routes ». Ce qui ne va pas sans susciter de nombreuses craintes. Afrik.com énumère : « coupures d'approvisionnement, entrave à la mobilité, pression psychologique sur les populations et défi sécuritaire majeur pour l'état malien (…) Le JNIM « cherche à semer la peur, affaiblir le moral des troupes et élargir son emprise à des régions jusqu'à présent épargnées », conclut le site d'information. Unité et solidarité Dans le même temps, la presse malienne met l'accent sur la réaction des autorités de Bamako face aux assauts jihadistes. « Face à une offensive coordonnée visant sept localités, les forces maliennes ont riposté avec fermeté », annonce Maliweb qui précise : « Plus de 80 assaillants neutralisés, et de nombreux équipements saisis par l'armée malienne ». Bamako va plus loin en affirmant que les attaques jihadistes « sont sponsorisées par des états visant à freiner la progression de l'Alliance des Etats du Sahel ». Bamada.net, de son côté, publie l'appel lancé par Choguel Maïga. L'ancien Premier ministre lance, nous dit-on, « un appel vibrant à l'unité nationale face à la terreur » et il exprime « sa profonde gratitude envers les jeunes de Kayes qui, à ses yeux, incarnent le courage et la solidarité de l'ensemble de la jeunesse malienne ». « Face à l'adversité, c'est l'unité qui triomphe », ajoute l'ex-Premier ministre. « Les FAMA infligent de lourdes pertes aux groupes armés », titre pour sa part, Sahel Tribune, au-dessus d'une photo montrant des soldats casqués, arme au poing, et salut « le professionnalisme et l'engagement remarquables » des forces armées maliennes. Pneus brûlés À la Une de la presse africaine également, le Sénégal et l'émotion provoquée par la mort de deux jeunes hommes à Cambérène, un quartier de Dakar, où la population accuse la police d'être à l'origine de la mort de deux jeunes hommes par noyade. « 3ᵉ nuit à Cambérène : la commune étouffe sous les cendres : pneus brûlés, colère sourde », titre Dakar Actu, qui s'est rendu sur place et raconte : « la route était fermée, les pavés fumants, des pneus brûlés au centre de la chaussée et aux alentours, presque personne. Ni forces de sécurité, ni protestataires visibles. Une scène quasi irréelle ». « Est-ce une coïncidence ? » interroge Dakar Actu, « ou un effet direct du discours prononcé par le président Bassirou Diomaye Faye, qui a catégoriquement dénoncé les violences et l'utilisation abominable d'un homme comme bouclier humain ? » Dakar Actu estime en tout cas, « qu'une chose est indéniable. La voix de la jeunesse de Cambérène ne s'est pas tue. Mais au cœur de la colère, subsiste une certaine forme de discipline. Pas de magasin dévalisé, pas de produit volé, pas de boutique assaillie. Malgré tout l'honneur de la commune semble sauvegardé ». Bouclier humain Des évènements qui ont été marqués par une image, dont parle également la presse sénégalaise. Cette image, précise Sénénews c'est celle « d'un jeune homme au visage couvert de sang, assis au milieu des forces de l'ordre à Cambérène ». C'est lui que la presse appelle « le bouclier humain ». « Devenue virale, cette photo incarne la tension extrême qui règne dans ce quartier populaire de Dakar », nous explique Sénénews. Le jeune homme a par la suite été interviewé par Sunugal 24. Il parle de « calvaire » et raconte avoir « été violemment interpellé lors d'affrontements entre jeunes manifestants et policiers. » Selon lui, « il a été battu avant d'être exhibé publiquement et utilisé comme bouclier humain pour décourager les protestataires ».

As generative AI redefines the contact centre, ensuring consistent performance across complex telephony networks becomes mission-critical. In this episode, we speak with Satish Barot, CTO at Klearcom, about the evolution of contact centre technology and the critical role of quality assurance in AI voice systems. We explore how organisations gradually transition from traditional DTMF-based IVR systems to more sophisticated conversational AI and generative AI solutions. Satish shares insights on why this shift is happening incrementally, with many companies adopting hybrid approaches that run traditional and AI-powered systems side by side while they evaluate performance.Discover how Klearcom is pushing the boundaries of voice QA with global in-country testing, real-world noise simulation, and accuracy scoring, offering a unique lens into what production-ready means in the age of AI.We also discuss privacy considerations and why organisations should start small and scale smart when implementing these technologies. Satish emphasises that businesses should focus on great customer experience rather than chasing fancy technology for its own sake.Shownotes:Check out Klearcom: https://klearcom.comSubscribe to VUX World: https://vuxworld.typeform.com/to/Qlo5aaeWSubscribe to The AI Ultimatum Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/kanesimmsGet in touch with Kane on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kanesimms Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to a special FirstMark Deep Dive edition of the MAD Podcast. In this episode, Matt Turck and David Waltcher unpack the explosive impact of generative AI on engineering — hands-down the biggest shift the field has seen in decades. You'll get a front-row seat to the real numbers and stories behind the AI code revolution, including how companies like Cursor hit a $500M valuation in record time, and why GitHub Copilot now serves 15 million developers.Matt and David break down the six trends that shaped the last 20 years of developer tools, and reveal why coding is the #1 use case for generative AI (hint: it's all about public data, structure, and ROI). You'll hear how AI is making engineering teams 30-50% faster, but also why this speed is breaking traditional DevOps, overwhelming QA, and turning top engineers into full-time code reviewers.We get specific: 82% of engineers are already using AI to write code, but this surge is creating new security vulnerabilities, reliability issues, and a total rethink of team roles. You'll learn why code review and prompt engineering are now the most valuable skills, and why computer science grads are suddenly facing some of the highest unemployment rates.We also draw wild historical parallels—from the Gutenberg Press to the Ford assembly line—to show how every productivity boom creates new problems and entire industries to solve them. Plus: what CTOs need to know about hiring, governance, and architecture in the AI era, and why being “AI native” can make a startup more credible than a 10-year-old giant.Matt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturckDavid WaltcherLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidwaltcherX/Twitter - https://x.com/davidwaltcherFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCap(00:00) Intro & episode setup (01:50) The 6 waves that led to GenAI engineering (04:30) Why coding is such fertile ground for Generative AI (08:25) Break-out dev-tool winners: Cursor, Copilot, Replit, V0 (11:25) Early stats: Teams Are Shipping Code Faster with AI (13:32) Copilots vs Autonomous Agents: The Current Reality (14:14) Lessons from History: Every Tech Boom Creates New Problems (21:53) FirstMark Survey: The Headaches AI Is Creating for Developers (22:53) What's Now Breaking: Security, CI/CD flakes, QA Overload (29:16) The New CTO Playbook to Adapt to the AI Revolution (33:23) What Happens to Engineering Orgs if Everyone is a Coder?

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Ben Fellows, CEO and founder of Loop QA.Ben shares how his company addresses the growing need for highly skilled, mid-to-senior QA professionals in a market lacking structured training and clear entry paths. Loop QA focuses on embedding experienced testers directly into teams at startups and enterprises, filling a critical talent gap with candidates who bring technical expertise, product understanding, and emotional intelligence. Ben explains how many successful QA professionals arrive from unconventional paths—often self-taught or transitioning from roles in development or customer success—and highlights the industry's broader need to recognize QA as a strategic, trust-building function rather than a final checkpoint.Ben also opens up about his personal journey into entrepreneurship, shaped by watching his mother run her own business and a brief stint in politics that led him to the fast-paced world of startups. He describes the early days of Loop QA, including the unconventional strategy of offering free QA services to build a client base, and how that experience shaped the company's sales and growth philosophy. He reflects on the evolving nature of QA's role within organizations, the emotional toll of being seen as the “last line of defense,” and the importance of creating a healthy quality culture.Whether you're trying to hire QA talent, break into the field, or simply want to better understand the mindset behind it, this episode of The First Customer delivers clarity, context, and plenty of relatable moments!Guest Info:Loop QAhttp://www.workwithloop.comBen Fellows' LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-f-44778426/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

Glenn Carle is an American writer and former intelligence officer. He is the author of The Interrogator: An Education (2011), which describes his involvement in the interrogation of a man at the time believed to be one of the top members of al-Qa'ida. Johns Hopkins Magazine has found The Interrogator to be "unusually candid in its portrayal of the CIA's internal workings—and the toll the agency's moral grey zones take on its operatives".Glenn spent 20 years in clandestine field operations with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Carle retired as Deputy National Intelligence Officer for Transnational Threats from the National Intelligence Council. Carle has been critical of President Donald Trump, particularly after Trump began to disparage American intelligence agencies' assessment of Russian influence over the 2016 presidential election. He told Newsweek, in an article dated December 21, 2017, that he believed that President Donald Trump was "actually working directly for the Russians."Among other roles, Glenn is a Columnist for Newsweek Japan, providing commentary and analysis of international relations, Geo-strategic, and US political issues, and foreign policy and intelligence issues.----------DESCRIPTION:The Shadow Wars: Glenn Carl on Russian Influence, U.S. Intelligence, and Global AuthoritarianismIn this episode, former CIA officer and author Glenn Carl discusses his career in intelligence, focusing on themes such as the internal workings of the CIA, the impact of moral gray zones on operatives, and the nuances of Russian active measures. Carl critiques President Trump's stance on U.S. intelligence agencies and comments on Russian tampering in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The conversation delves into the strategic shift from focusing on Russia to China, Putin's KGB background, and how Russian tactics destabilize Western democracies. The episode also explores the erosion of U.S. democratic norms through internal and external influences, the complexity of intelligence operations, and the enduring legacy of Carl Schmitt's authoritarian ideas in contemporary U.S. politics.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Glenn Carl00:36 Glenn Carl's Career and Criticism of Trump01:24 Thanking the Supporters01:54 Discussing Russia and the Cold War04:40 Shift in US Strategic Focus06:00 The Role of Russian Intelligence06:49 Putin's Influence and Russian Nationalism18:09 The Struggle in Ukraine24:05 Putin's Background and Russian State Dynamics41:25 The Influence of Vladislav Surkov44:54 Russian Strategy to Undermine the US46:53 Recommended Reading on Russian Influence48:09 Authoritarian Toolkits and Their Impact49:02 US Vulnerabilities and Russian Exploitation49:48 Russian Influence in Europe01:00:24 Traditionalism vs. Modernism01:08:21 Trump's Motivations and Russian Influence01:12:10 Historical Intelligence Operations01:20:01 The Current State of US Democracy01:24:07 Conclusion andhttps://glenncarle.com/ Final Thoughts----------LINKS:https://glenncarle.com/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Carlehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/glenn-carle-2031706/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0134b2dhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Interrogator-An-Education/dp/B005UVQIAU----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------

QA on Rites of the Wedding - St Augustine Orthodox Press

Let's be real. A lot of us have been out here trying to follow someone else's version of success. Copying the routines. Following the “rules.” Pushing ourselves to work in ways that don't even feel natural. But if your business still feels off, it might not be about doing more. It might be about working differently. Working in a way that actually supports how you move. In this solo episode, Monique is getting into the step that too many early-stage entrepreneurs skip: learning how you personally work best. This isn't about another hustle routine or productivity hack. It's about tuning into your rhythm, your energy, and your capacity and building a business that actually fits your life. Especially as Black entrepreneurs, we've been told to push through, power up, and work twice as hard. But we don't often hear that it's okay to pause, reflect, and choose a way of working that protects your peace. That's what this conversation is about. If you've been checking all the boxes but still feel drained or stuck, this is your reminder that success doesn't have to come at the expense of your well-being.

Updating developer tools is essential for developers who want to stay efficient, secure, and competitive. In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore how maintaining modern toolsets helps individuals and teams deliver better software, faster. With support from AI-generated analysis and real-world experience, they outline the risks of falling behind—and how to move forward. Listen to the full episode of Building Better Developers with AI for practical insights and ideas you can start applying today. Efficiency and Profitability When Updating Developer Tools AI captured the core message well: using outdated tools slows down delivery, creates unnecessary friction, and ultimately reduces profitability. For side hustlers and teams alike, this loss of efficiency can make or break a project. Rob pointed out that many developers begin their careers using only basic tools. Without proper exposure to modern IDEs like IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code, or Eclipse, they miss out on powerful features such as debugging tools, plugin support, container integration, and real-time collaboration. Warning Signs You Should Be Updating Developer Tools How do you know it's time to update your development tools? Rob and Michael discussed key red flags: Frequent crashes or poor performance Lack of support for modern languages or frameworks Weak integration with tools like GitHub Actions or Docker Outdated or unsupported plugins Inconsistent tooling across team members Neglecting to update developer tools can lead to slow onboarding, poor collaboration, and increased bugs—especially in fast-paced or regulated environments. Tool Standardization vs. Flexibility When Updating Tools There's a balance between letting developers choose their tools and ensuring consistency across a team. While personal comfort can boost productivity, it may also cause challenges when teams debug or collaborate. Rob and Michael recommend hosting internal hackathons to explore new toolchains or standardize workflows. These events give teams a structured way to evaluate tools and share findings. The Security Risk of Not Updating Developer Tools Michael highlighted that outdated tooling doesn't just slow developers down—it creates serious security and compliance risks. Being just one or two versions behind can open vulnerabilities that violate standards like HIPPA, OWASP or SOX. Regular updates to SDKs, plugins, and IDEs are essential for staying compliant, especially in sensitive industries like finance or healthcare. How to Evaluate New Tools Before Updating Developer Toolchains Rob offered a practical framework for evaluating new tools: Does it solve a real pain point? Start with a side project or proof of concept. Check for strong community support and documentation. Balance between stable and innovative. Michael added a note of caution: avoid adopting tools with little community activity or long-term support. If a GitHub project has only a couple of contributors and poor maintenance, it's a red flag. Developer Tools to Review and Update Regularly To keep your development environment current, Rob suggested reviewing these tool categories often: IDEs and code editors Version control tools CI/CD systems and build automation Testing and QA frameworks Package managers and dependency systems Containerization and environment management platforms Using AI to convert simple apps into different frameworks can also help evaluate new tools—just make sure not to share proprietary code. Final Thoughts Modern development demands modern tooling. From cleaner code to faster deployment and stronger team collaboration, the benefits of updating developer tools are clear. Whether you're an independent developer or part of a larger organization, regularly reviewing and upgrading your toolset is a habit worth forming.
