A lot of learning, project closing and summer time activities (or lack of activities) ahead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Peers then dive into the main topic. Russell explains the power of the language and cognitive biases around failure, and why he therefore opts for learning fast rather than failing fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russell quotes Thomas Edison:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have not failed. I&#8217;ve just found 10,000 ways that won&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ben talks about the joys as a tester of exploration and the Peers talk about how things look and feel for those of us who naturally work well in environments where everything is not and cannot be known up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shorter feedback loops, humility, recognition, collaboration and exploration are further pressed into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what do you do with that learning? Can you change, react, be resilient, agile? How can that information work within constraints, contracts and various contexts? What are the causes and effects?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We talk about documentation, comments and the value they also provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russell mentions the game <a href=\"https:\/\/tastycupcakes.org\/2016\/03\/agile-jenga-testing-game\/\">Testing Jenga<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:ContactUs@TestingPeers.com\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ContactUs@TestingPeers.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twitter (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/testingpeers\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/testingpeers<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LinkedIn (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/testing-peers\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/testing-peers<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instagram (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/testingpeers\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/testingpeers\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facebook (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TestingPeers\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TestingPeers<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re also now on GoodPods, check it out via the mobile app stores<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you like what we do and are able to, please visit our Patreon to explore how you could support us going <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">forwards:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/testingpeers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/testingpeers<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks for joining us for episode 114 of the Testing Peers podcast.
