Welcome to Friday, here are five points worth exploring:

- I’ve created a [list of software testing conference changes](https://testingconferences.org/canceled-software-testing-conferences-2020/?ref=kenst.com) this year due to COVID-19\. It’s a small list that I think will grow over time. There have been a ton of canceled conferences because of Corona, mostly big events, but it just goes to show how the smaller conferences are impacted.
- Elizabeth Hendrickson (Explore It, Test Heuristic Cheat Sheet) is writing again and it’s some good stuff. One of my favorite posts so far is how she’s using [Oculus as a meditation device](http://testobsessed.com/2020/01/welcome-to-my-happy-place/?ref=kenst.com).
- The book [Remote: Office Not Required](https://www.kenst.com/life-as-a-remote-worker/) is making it’s rounds as companies push employees to work remote to reduce the likelihood of contracting COVID-19\. Back in [2014 I wrote](https://www.kenst.com/life-as-a-remote-worker/) about the book and my journey to be remote.
- Angie Jones wrote about [5 ways to drive your automation engineers away](https://techbeacon.com/app-dev-testing/5-ways-drive-your-automation-engineers-away?ref=kenst.com). I agree with most but not all of the points, especially the last point, so check it out.
- Hopefully you’ve heard of the amazing tool Have I Been Pwned which tracks which accounts have comprised in data breaches (and your public information shared). [Troy Hunt talks about his global search to find a new owner of the site](https://www.troyhunt.com/project-svalbard-have-i-been-pwned-and-its-ongoing-independence/?ref=kenst.com). Fascinating read.
