I've been testing for over 10 years and API testing is my favourite.
I believe testers/quality people are the BEST humans and always bring hope to my half glass empty soul.

On the point of sharing and goals. This made me think of "your future self will thank you for putting something out there". I often say that to myself for the photos I take, and then look back on many years later. The same can be applied to all content. It's a point of reflection, individually and as a community.

The advocation to those outside QA is tough. Its not a thing that gets solved, but it is possible to improve it but speaking their language. If I can help with advocating outside QA I will 🙏

Hearing what you said about influencing developers, I think you're on the right path. Its no different to influencing outside engineering.
