I liked how @martin-n.bsky.social encourages his team to use Quality Criteria to categorises bugs and test cases.
Useful for teams to see what types of risks are being addressed (and in turn what are not covered).

You go a conference and your manager asks you what did you pick up from there. Please note that ‘I need to read the slides’ is not a great response. They usually want to know if anything was good enough to catch attention to remember.
Being happy you got out, go where contents are interesting.
