I got my front row seat for Stephen's talk on stoicism and testing

In this memory: Mr Stephen P Platten

Stephen did a talk called "Stoicism & Software Testing: Ancient Philosophy Meets Modern Methods"

Earlier in the MoTaverse he did a 404 talk on the topic, which I enjoyed watching. I wanted to take the opportunity to learn more from the front row seat.

A good reminder to let go of the things we cannot control, so many things we cannot control as testing and quality people!
