My greatest flaw? I care too much.

C1 - you sound like my client.

C1 I don't get it. Isn't that a legitimate method?

@EY2 your client sounds like a cash cow for change orders @D1 I don't want to be a tester. Most projects still use Waterfall, and despite my best efforts, I still have interviews for roles with heavy testing. So instead of honoring the waterfall methodology, I say "let's test in production." Which is the over-simplified description of agile concepts.

Thanks for the explanation C1. Makes sense!

Yeah would be. If my original sow wasn't "Do work for client".

"You should really talk to xyz...he is available and this is his specialty"
