Query:
I'm looking for a mortgage expert who can answer the following
question about how negative interest rates from the Federal
Reserve can impact mortgage rates. Questions are:
1. Mortgage rates are already incredibly low. If the Fed decides
to cut its interest rate to negative, how might that move the
needle even more on current rates? 2. Do negative interest rates
impact mortgage lenders differently than rates at zero or
near-zero? How? 3. What are some other factors that help
determine mortgage rates? 4. If someone is considering buying or
refinancing a house, should they wait for negative interest
rates from the Fed or go ahead with their plan now?
Requirements:
Please answer to the questions in your email response.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to interview someone over

Testing involves more than simply ensuring code does what it's
supposed to do. This piece will examine the scope of testing
types (security, performance, UX, etc.) as well as other things
that could be considered testing such as feature
experimentation, chaos engineering, and progressive software
delivery. This piece will cover all that ground.

Looking for seasoned development/DevOps/testing professionals
who are working in organizations that continue to embrace more
types of testing as application architectures and the production
environments in which they run become more complex.
Tip: Please provide a brief explanation of how testing is
changing in your/your client's organization and the topics you
can speak knowledgeably about (doesn't have to be all of them).
DO NOT simply say "I/my client" can speak to that. Also do not
just send a title or link to a bio.
Vendors/PR reps of vendors: I'd be happy to speak with a
customer and give a nod to your solution, but I can't use
vendors or talk about products in the story. It's an issues and
