I love Holub, he gives such bad takes so frequently that I can't decide if a) he's a total maniac b) he likes to rile people up because he's a "software influencer" and knows that this increases engagement with his brand or c) this "you don't need testers, actually" take works well with management at the companies he consults for and never sticks around in long enough to witness the consequences of following his guidance.

Probably all three I guess

I like to read his blog posts as performance art. For this bugtracking thing he posted one where he starts with:

quote:

You do not need a bug tracking system. In fact, a bug tracking system is a symptom of a deeper problem—insufficient focus on quality.

...and then when a reader leaves a comment calling him out and pointing out that his wordpress install has the wrong time he replies with:



Bugs for thee but not for me

Actually have you ever seen your boss and that guy in the same room at the same time?
