This month, we have a special episode with Mavreen Smiel. Mav is a Senior Test Automation Engineer and long-time veteran of the video gaming industry. She gives us an insider’s view on software testing past, present, and future. (Yes, including the impact that “AI” is having on software quality assurance folks.)

In our inaugural episode, we introduce ourselves and talk about the conniving grubs at Grubhub and why fining Big Tech companies is useless. We talk about the fine public service work being done by Trifecta Tech. In our "Explain it to Me Like I'm John" segment, Blain and Erik go deep into the Meta "View As" security breach and resulting EU fine.
