  • Unfortunately, many of us have to jump into a given role and learn the hard way whether it fits us. As an example, I never intended to go into SQA, I just fell into the role. Turns out I love it.

    Stumbling into your career is inelegant, imprecise, and frustrating though.

    In spite of that sometimes experience is the best teacher whether we like it or not. Good luck out there


  • I’ve been in QA for 12 years, and it can be great if you want to innovate (test automation) while also sometimes doing manual work (manual test) to punctuate hard thinking sessions.

    I’m not diagnosed as neurodivergent(and strongly suspect I may have ADHD) but do I have a lot of ND coworkers in dev and QA.

    This really comes down to choosing for what your ND needs. Spend some time getting to know your brain and it’s particular needs. Identify what you want vs what you need.

    Good luck on finding your way

    In my opinion, if you are interested you should.

    It’s very satisfying to wear a shirt that you created and that no one else can even own because you made it. Just make sure you watch some tutorial videos and don’t let fear of failure get the best of you

    If you are worried about losing the fabrics value from messing up, consider picking up some super cheap cotton muslin to practice on. Near me it is as low as $5 a yard, So a practice shirt could be 10 to $15 worth of muslin

    To be completely honest, I have no idea how many man hours this one took.

    In general, I can complete this pattern with cotton fabric in a couple days of hobby work, but this fabric is a bit slippery and I definitely spent twice as much time preparing everything to mitigate that. Plus this was my first time doing French seams
