Throwback Wednesday: A year ago in the MoTaverse... (Berlin chapter edition)
20 May 2026
A little over a year ago, I had a new first: Hosting a casual get-together for the MoTaverse community in Berlin. We were a small group, sitting in the park, nibbling on pretzels and enjoying the sun (at least for a while). We talked about our goals, asked and answered Berlin job hunting advice, and shared stories about day-to-day testing. None of us had any idea where we would find ourselves a year later, how the MoTaverse would expand and accompany us on our journeys, if and how we would make any progress towards our goals.
So I'm very excited to share with you that Ruslan Strazhnyk made what he only dreamed of yesterday, into reality today! He will bring his story to our next MoT Berlin chapter event on June 5th and talk about the Do's and Don'ts in AI test generation - and afterwards it's time to step on stage yourself for a 99 Seconds talk! I hope to see you there!
