The more information and concepts I’m exposed to the better I’m able to grasp and make sense of the world of software quality. After 12 or so years I’m just starting to understand testing and quality. 😃

There are more readings in my anti-library. I’m likely missing a few books that I’ve read and discarded. I think this is a pretty decent start and the anti-library list will continue to grow in both topics (become more broadly about software development and other movements) and quantity.

Now I realize quantity isn’t a great sole metric but it is an easy data point in helping me understand what points of view I’ve been exposed to.
