Description:
There’s a little tester in my head. She advises on unit tests, warns against dodgy deploys, or just says ‘I can break that.’ There have also been testers at my table. They have demonstrated diligence, patience, and guile, and wisdom. I have my testers at the table to thank for the tester in my head.
