Hi Callum,

Thank you for such a wonderful session on Shift Right. I had implemented a few of the practices you mentioned, but I learned so much more by attending your class.I especially liked your slides and the way you explained.
Your shirt looked great . I liked how you designed it.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experience. I truly enjoyed the session.

A great session to learn more about the art of the possible in an area it's all to easy to shy away from. At first it sounds too risky and hence we tend not to consider it as an option. But when it's broken down in to what it really means, as you have, so much of it just seems like good common sense and that we'd be foolish not to do any of it. I feel you've not just shifted right, but shifted a lot of thinking here too. Nice one :)
Thanks for your Masterclass
Thank you for coaching me on the art of what is possible, in shift right: testing in production. I especially appreciated the full snack approved testing reference, people don't know what they want (to eat), until it's in front of them.
Thanks for your Masterclass
Great work Callum. Your masterclass has given me enough to start the conversation about what we could add. 🙏
