We spend the whole episode talking about the reactions to Alan's post describing why most software teams don't need dedicated testers. Bring the Hate!

It's our last podcast of 2022, so we look back on the year, talk about our 2022 predictions, and look forward into 2023. And we once again, talk quite a bit about chatgpt.

We try not to talk about https://chat.openai.com/chat the entire episode, but we mostly fail. 

We mostly talk about prioritization, but as usual, it's impossible for us to stick to a single topic.

We talk a bit about the bubbles we're in and the bubble's we're not in. And then finally, we talk about how people can move into experimentation and Modern Testing.

We record an entire podcast without getting to the point - or maybe we just created a lot of points. We talk about podcasting, how we learn, and async work - and about 30 other things.

We chat a bit about filling offices, then a lot about A/B testing, and share a few stories along the way.

After a very brief political discussion (apologies), we talk about what we'd do as testers today, and along the way, accidentally reinvent Modern Testing.

We are joined by Matt from Speedscale. We talk a little about his company, but talk a lot about everything else.

Important links

Interspersed with a ridiculous number of tangents, we talk about layoffs.
