I had a wonderful chat with Gary Hawkes about his journey over the years with testing and now quality engineering and I absolutely love how it felt like his story was that all roads have led to quality.

He was once a developer, but discovered testing and quality and was fascinated by it enough that he doesn't want to leave.

I love the excitement for our industry at the moment!
