| Welcome to the **232nd** issue!This week, I found a big discussion in the testing community:[Is it still worth to become a QA Engineer in 2024?](https://www.reddit.com/r/QualityAssurance/comments/1egn93c/is%5Fbecoming%5Fa%5Fqa%5Fengineer%5Fstill%5Fworth%5Fin%5F2024%5For/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F232)It's a valid question given the tougher job market and the tech layoffs over the past two years.There are different opinions, but most people agree this role has and will be crucial to the success of tech companies. I'm on that side as well.The outages such as CrowdStrike may further amplify that.And, in the age of AI, the skills and expertise that testers have may become even more important.That's both in terms of automation and tool building, as well as exploratory testing and critical thinking ability.So, happy testing! 🙂*[Dawid Dylowicz](https://linkedin.com/in/dawid-dylowicz/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F232)*                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
