This is a great take. I especially agree with calling out people delighting thinking to AI

I get your point, but it will be specifically about applying thinking to software development and testing so I feel there should be some reference to that.

I think I learnt this saying from Ash Winter.
"I have strong opinions, lightly held". We can have strong beliefs and opinions, but we have to be able to change when context, circumstances, and facts present different options.
I love this as it has given me a great insight into my many mindsets theory. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the following statement, and others too.
If all testing is anchored in the scientific method, observing through different mindsets generates different hypotheses (test ideas) and experiments (the actual tests).
Thanks for the answer, Shawn. It reinforces my belief that the quality of thought 'going in' is a continuous process because every act, leads to a check that requires more thought. Almost a think - plan - do - check - act - think again cycle of sorts.
