Better than a generic video, see YOUR test, live, ready to show you what matters most: quality at scale.
I could not have said this as well myself! Thanks for expressing what so many of us feel, Simon!
I've shared Cassandra's posts on this a lot, glad to have this one to share as well!
User-centricity - understanding our customers' needs and getting feedback from them continually is key to any team's success! Thank you for this! Google's DORA research team has found that this is one of the most critical factors for successful adoption of AI technology.

This makes a lot of sense. Really promotes the whole-team ownership of quality. I think management in some organizations might be resistant to it, though. I'm curious to see if any of these articles address that.
As they say, there's nothing new under the sun. I admit though, I'm ignorant on what is the big takeaway here? I'm not yet a practitioner of context engineering, so maybe that's why I don't see it.
Seems like a pragmatic way to go! I keep reading about comprehension debt, brain fry, other results of people going all in on AI without thinking how they will manage their work. Step by step seems smart.
I joined the chapter last week, and looked at the page earlier this week, but i didn't know about this meeting. How can I be notified of these events, please?
I opened that mind map image in a new tab to zoom in on it, good stuff. This helps me because I've been struggling with the terminology. I'm more of an observer of GenAI usage than an actual user right now. Is "augmentation" the same as "AI Assistance"? Thanks!
This startled me until I remembered today's date. 😂
Wouldn't it be great if a more diverse group, or even better, a larger community, could reboot the Manifesto. I think the principles still work, but the manifesto itself needs discussion IMO.
