This Week in Community (TWiC) — Episode 4
This Week in Community (TWiC) — Episode 3
This Week in Community (TWiC) — Episode 2
The very first TWiC episode
A thoughtful, vulnerable episode about grief, identity, AI, writing, and the emotional cost of trying to influence quality in organisations that don’t always listen.
Live experimentation, technical glitches, and community challenges along the way
This Week in Quality enters a new, cameras-on format
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.
Clean code, messy legacy, and good products. Demi, Simon, Rolf, Nadja and the TWiQ crew get into it all.
