Shawn Vernier | Sessions

A reflective episode on joining new teams, respecting existing quality processes, asking better questions, naming the work we already do, and using community to turn uncertainty into learning.

An exploration of how epistemology underpins quality thinking, helping quality people examine what they know, how they know it, and how that shapes their quality choices.

With SQEC now fully live, the community swaps stories about new roles, flaky tests, accessibility audits, and why shared language, pairing, and “being the duck” can make quality work easier.

A conversation with Shawn Vernier on skepticism in quality engineering, the realities of test automation, and the most important part, AI tentacles.

Hear honest job-search and career-change stories, pick up confidence-boosting advice from the community, and enjoy the wonderfully weird side-threads that make the MoTaverse feel like home.

Cut through the AI hype, swap real guardrail stories, and laugh at the rainbow-vomit moments along the way.

Reconnect with the MoTaverse through chapters, celebrate what’s changed while Deanna was away, and learn how local events help you grow your network and your craft.
