🕒 Overtime in IT: myth, norm, or a fixable bug? Yes, overtime is real—but not universal. Data shows blurred boundaries, time pressure trading quality for speed, and burnout risk past 50+ hours. The good news: it’s fixable with sane cadence, fast/stable CI, a real Definition of Done, and a right-to-disconnect culture. Read the article on LinkedIn

On September, 9 1945 the scientists of the Harvard University while testing the computer Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator have found a moth which has got stuck between the contacts of the electromechanical relay. The work they performed required some description, and the word has been found – «debugging» (literally: disposal of an insect) – and nowadays it is used to describe the process of identifying and eliminating bugs which cause a computer to malfunction. The removed insect was pasted into the computer log with the entry: “First actual case of bug being found”, and was then transferred to the computer museum. Happy Tester’s Day!

🧮 How many testers does a team actually need? Forget the “1 QA per N devs” myth. The right number depends on your release cadence, product surface (web/mobile/API), domain risk, and how stable your automation really is. In our new mini-post we share a quick pulse check to decide whether to hire or fix the process, plus signs you’re under-resourced. Read now on LinkedIn
