I’ve spent the past ~18 months thinking about the impact of AI in the greater culture, and testing’s role to discern truth from error, and what is coming next. Occasionally, something else interesting happens!
Years ago when Blogging was just exploding, and the world was opening up to Global Collaboration by the World Wide Web (yes we used to call it that), a few people like Jurgen Appelo made lists of popular blogs. Lists of Software Engineering blogs, and development, or product, or testing. Creative Chaos made a few of those lists; we were up to #2 or #3 on someone’s list for testing at some point. Those lists were difficult to make, as you had to get the google rank of each site, look at the number of posts, the comments, try to make some sort of objective criteria, then apply it to a big list to try to make the list not-as-big and ordered. I was pleased to see that Creative Chaos is now in the upper-half of the top 66 automation in testing blogs, released last week.
More to come, but I thought in the mean time, it beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
