When Superheroes Stumble, by Stephen Townshend
A reflection on some of the mistakes I’ve made in my career, and what I learned from them.
Beginner and experienced performance testers and engineers make mistakes all the time, it’s how we respond to these moments that defines our careers. In this talk I will share some of my own experiences, and perhaps this will help you make the same mistakes I have.
ABOUT STEPHEN
Stephen has been pretending to be a performance engineer for twelve years. He is actually an actor, playing the role of a performance engineer. At some point along the way he lost touch with reality and is no longer sure if he is acting, or this has become reality. In the words of Robert Downey, Jr. in the film Tropic Thunder: “I know who I am. I’m a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.”
