I moticed something recently...partly in myself, but also in the many quality conversations I've had with others.

This shift to quality engineering is MoTivating! People are re-inpsired, perhaps empowered and even have a new found energy in their quality (and testing work).

I've definitely questioned the direction of my career and more specifically in testing, but now with a focus on quality engineering it feels like the doors have opened. We can be curious and creativity, and most importantly doors are opening to create a career path that is more impactful and meaningful.

New ideas are rising up. New voices stepping in. And with that change will come.

Do others feel this too? Drop a comment.

Photo for fun and attention. I also like snails to remind me to go slow and steady. I'm not sure sure slow applies to me though, steady, yes!
