Inspired by this post, I wonder if there will evolve a market need for small collectives of very highly skilled, talented and disciplined software testers producing high quality information for discerning clients. The discerning part implies selectivity which further implies healthy bank accounts (at lease initially) which means I’m out of the running right now. It might be interesting otherwise.

The questions that fall out of that are

  • Who would you ask to join your collective?
  • And do you know them well enough that they might consider it?

Both of those are worth working towards a positive outcome.
