4.0

Gerry Weinberg succinctly described many of the interpersonal struggles at my job and reinforced much of the stuff James Bach's preached in person. His explanations of what testing cannot do and why estimates at the beginning of a project are always too optimistic were spot on. This was a good reminder that testing is a waste of time if you're not going to do anything with the information you uncover.

The sections of supposed journal entries or dialogue did not help shed light on the material. A more conventional format would have served it better.
