“I’ll do it myself 😌” or the story about how hyper-control emerges

Most of the time, the problem in a team is not the team. Sometimes things are broken not by processes. And not by deadlines. But by a person who can’t let go of control.

🪤“Atlas Syndrome: How to Stop Carrying the Project Alone and Start Leading”

🎤 At a meetup on May 20, Julia Karvat (HR expert with over 12 years of experience, Master of Psychology, Corporate Trainer) will break down what is usually left unsaid:
— Why “I’ll do it myself” is not heroism but a trap;
— How hyper-control kills initiative and drains energy;
— Where the “dopamine loop” of micromanagement comes from and how to break it;
— How to delegate without losing quality and finally get some sleep.

My QA people, you can relate

AQA engineers, over here 🏃‍♂️🤙

On May 14, we’ll hold a meetup on how to build testing frameworks that actually stand the test of time: 💡 scalable, resilient to changes, and easy for the whole team to work with.

If you’ve ever faced this:
— Tests fail for no reason 🤯;
— Any product change breaks half of your test suite 💥;
— New team members need weeks to gain an understanding of the framework 🫠.

Then, this meetup is right for you 🫵

🚀 From Middle to Senior QA: What Really Changes

Becoming a Senior isn’t about more tools - it’s about better decisions and bigger impact.

🧠 Ownership over execution
You don’t just test - you decide what and why.

⚖️ Risk over coverage
Focus on critical flows and high-risk areas → depth over breadth.

🧩 System thinking
Beyond UI: APIs, data flows, integrations → find root causes.

🗣 Impact over bugs
Not “there’s an error” →
👉 “users can’t complete actions → business is affected”

🧪 Exploration over scripts
Hypotheses, validation, adaptability → more thinking, less checking.

📊 Strategy over tasks
Prevent defects, improve processes, build quality culture.

🤝 Team impact
Mentor, share knowledge, influence decisions.

🔧 Value over tools
Not more tools - better choices.

💬 Senior QA = clear thinking + smart priorities, not years or stack
