Judy and Clare trade spicy hot takes, from notification overload and 'done > perfect' learning, to a passionate deep dive on accessibility as a moral (and business) imperative.

Test Everything Twice (TET) image
  • Oleksandr Romanov's profile image
A playful backronym coined live in the TWiQ chat as a testing-world companion to the DRY/WET family of terms, standing for "Test Everything Twice." as a counterpart to WET (Write Everything Twice), it captures the idea of deliberate, thorough verification rather than assuming a single test pass is sufficient. Like WET and DRY, it works best as a conversational shorthand for a mindset rather than a strict rule.

When these four elements overlap, that person has found their ikigai.
