Ben and Judy host episode 143, opening with Judy’s reflections on testing job applications, staying connected through the community, and finding joy even in a difficult job market.

Ben shares his current focus on scaling quality engineering, reducing 'Ben things', and helping teams take more ownership of releases and automation. Gary joins to talk about pitching for a Head of Engineering role without 'selling his soul', while Maneesh shares practical examples of bringing AI into workflows by talking to teams and finding real problems to solve. The episode also takes a lighter detour through snacks, gaming streams, Lemmings, and the surprising testing lessons hiding in play, before closing on the need to make AI learning more accessible and less pressure-filled.
