It's weird how aggressive some folks can be when you decline alcohol. Like they need you to justify why you aren't drinking.
Please don't be that person.

I 100% agree and would add that if you are hosting a holiday event and you do NOT have something festive, creative and delicious for your guests to drink without alcohol in it, you are actually an asshole
don't make them drink tap water while everyone else has bespoke cocktails!

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I fell into Test Engineering by accident. A friend at GE Appliances told me to apply to their SWQA team and all the things that frustrated previous managers turned out to be strengths for this sort of role.
It allows me to combine my wide & deep knowledge of how things work and my love for details.

- 5ish years ago I made my first single colour led board, you can see the bodge wire as I made mistakes.
- Now, I have made a custom game boy PCB with my own screen driver that's smaller than the led board

People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.

One of my "Capital O Opinions" regarding a good SWQA team is that we exist to make the devs look better, not worse.
It's too easy for the relationship to devolve into the Test Engineers scoring points against the devs, putting them on defensive footing and reducing collaboration.
