    Some amazing events, like 2 podcasts, a book, a blog, speaking events, and teaching has led me to where we're at now.

    Looking forward to 2020 and beyond

    I discussed what's in store in the next year and moving forward.

    A closing quote

    Software is a blast. At least, it should be.
    I want everyone to have fun writing software.
    Leaning on automated tests is the best way I know to allow me confidence and freedome to:

    • rewrite big chunks of code
    • play with the code
    • try new things
    • have fun without fear
    • go home feeling good about what I did
    • be proud of my code
    • I want everyone to have that.

      That's why I promote and teach automated testing.

      I hope you had an amazing decade.

      And I wish you a productive and fun 2020 and the upcoming decade.
      If we work together and help eachother reach new heights, we can achieve some pretty amazing things
