@lisihocke this, so much.

I recently had a discussion about the perceived (and money wise mostly actual) demotion from dev to tester. I do not think it should be one. What I value in a developer and a tester is when they see the whole system and not only the ticket, feature or task they are working on. And in my experience this trait is stronger in a person filling a testing role than a dev role.

@inw

Yes! We had lots of conversations on the overarching topic at the conference. Why are these split in the first place, aren't they activities instead of roles, do we need more generalists nowadays / in the future or is more specialization needed, what's our identity and aren't these aspects we can add to it, and so many more. Of course things depend on context, and yet it was thought-provoking and inspiring to hear people's viewpoints.

@lisihocke This actually prompted me to ask myself why I don’t consider a managerial role.

The organization and culture must fit. I don’t want to get involved into the politics coming often which such a position. And I’ve too often seen good managers beeing bad ones, caused only by the circumstance.

Another thing is, I've experienced too much non-leadership by managers. I already perceive the title as negative.

And of course, I fear the role may corrupt me and put me into dilemmas.

That fits so well to this awesome keynote which shed a light on all the fears around such a role change - the sketchnote couldn't catch it all: https://mastodon.social/@lisihocke/113535132692505450

I have my own set of fears and preconceptions around people management. I have lots of respect for the role and believe people need to have focus on this role and hone the related skills. At the same time I understand that we do need more great managers and sometimes these would be exactly the people who refrain from it.

@lisihocke maybe we could convince the people refraining from a managerial role to do this in self-defense and for the greater good ;)
