Systems, once they exist, tend to become immune to change, no matter how good the people are. People come and go, but the system remains.

My wife just said "if you hate everyone, you should eat something, and if you think everyone hates you, you should go to sleep" and I don't think I've heard a better life hack

Takeaway: don’t tell women to ask for the raise, speak like a man, or other things that work for you. Women are rational, if we’re doing something weird, fix the system, not us.

Many “best practices” were created for a world that no longer exists.
In the face of change, the routines that once moved you forward often become the ruts that hold you back.
No practice is ever perfect. The day you stop being open to improving is the day you start stagnating.

A "QA role inside the team" is a waterfall silo. It’s a dependency that slows your delivery speed. You are just doing a mini waterfall (with a QA phase) within the team. Quality should be pervasive. Quality is everybody’s concern.

"We've always done it that way" is not a valid reason for anything.
Don't follow traditions because the status quo is comfortable and change makes you uncomfortable.
Question whether past routines are serving you well in the present and guiding you toward a better future.

When you disagree with data, you have 3 options:
1. Find better data
2. Identify limitations of the existing data
3. Consider the possibility that you were wrong, and have the humility & integrity to admit it
