How to live without estimates

Memories are made in hindsight and memories pick themselves for us. We don't get to pick them. It's beautiful.
Testing
Before you mark your PR ready for review, always test it manually as well. It is not the QA’s job. QA's job is to assure quality. Not to test your code. It is the developer’s job to test their code and make sure it’s functional.
