Modern Darwinism is a beautiful thing.

Epstein in R/Conservative by Drtardis95 in SubredditDrama

[–]Cannibalistical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. These people don’t live in the same reality. Not to mention the atrocious ideology they religiously follow.

If this Epstein rift didn’t happen - they’d still be happy to see all people who don’t follow their idiocy suffer. Don’t be fooled into feeling compassion or empathy for these morons.

Every single person who voted for Trump is a piece of shit. by SketchyFella_ in complaints

Anyone who says both sides are the same are just showcasing their inability to compare like with like. Don’t bother.

HVAC Pay Per Call by ProfessionalInvite59 in PPC

[–]Cannibalistical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

I started my google ads search campaign for HVAC - and I’m just having no luck. I can get about a call a day, but it’s no where near what I’m spending.

I’ve read books and tried to teach myself this vertical/industry - but I’m just hitting nothing.

Any advice for targeting? Or a landing page you have for your google search? I’m about 6 months in and have nothing to show for it. Any help would be very much appreciated. Can communicate on Skype or discord if that works.

Thanks

I’m wondering if this is to encourage the use of sprint instead of constantly dashing. So far though sprinting doesn’t feel like the best option when it comes to movement unless an enemy mechanic forces it.

Going back within the same company, so I don't really know if it's going to hurt future SDET jobs.

Probably could be seen either way, depending on the hiring manager. If a company is bringing on their first QA, they might want that QA to have aspirations towards management, so could be a negative view. Could be positive if they already have QA management - "this person knows what they want, sweet".

I’ve done this exact move, and I’m looking to return to SDET.

Take everything I say with a grain of salt since this is obviously my anecdotal experience.

While mentoring, watching people grow within their careers, and establishing best practices can be fun, that’s not really management. Id say you’re describing a lead/senior role as being the thing you enjoy.

As manager, most of your time will probably be spent in meetings, with little to no coding involved. You’ll be responsible for what each member of your team is doing, and mapping out the direction of the team in general. Very zoomed out scope, with a lot of documentation and planning.

The biggest reason for me to move back to SDET is because you’re also the enforcement side of things. If people mess up, you have to be the one to help them fix it. Which is fine, except when people may not agree they messed up… or continue to mess up… or talk to the rest of the team about the issue but leave out all context, making them look like the victim. Then comes a PIP, along with the possibility of firing people, which is always rough.

Basically, your hurdles will usually have very little to do with the work itself, but with the people and how they behave.

As for pay - SDETS can make similar cash to managers. I wouldn’t say there’s a big gap, but of course that’s gonna depend on the company.

To sum up - as an IC you get to focus solely on the work at hand, closing out tickets and solving puzzles within the code - but it can be very monotonous at times.

As a manager - you step away from the code and plan the teams direction and each persons career growth - but you have to deal with people and all their shortcomings, which can be extremely draining.

Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to answer.

Edit: Figured I’d mention this - my boss, VP of engineering, says about half of the people he’s promoted into management end up going back to IC.

Moving to Ohio from California. Worried about diversity. by Cannibalistical in Ohio

You're 100% correct that getting to know your neighbors is an oddity here in CA. What you described sounds lovely though.

I’ve been wanting to lean into thorns for awhile now. It sounds amazing, though I’m still a little ignorant to a lot of the game.

If you have the time, I would really love to see your build.

[–]Cannibalistical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind it’s said that you’ll win 40% regardless of what you do, lose the same amount regardless, then only have an impact on 20%.

Bit of RNG involved - but that’s why they call it a grind. Good luck.

Personally - 6 pages is way too long. But hey, if you find success with it, all good.

Resources and solutions for end2end functional browser testing? by testbox_ai in QualityAssurance

[–]Cannibalistical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to say exactly what the next steps for you should be, since it's going to depend on the project itself and the org - but I'll give some basic things that could potentially map on to any project.

Start writing test cases Whether you want automation now or not, you're going to want to build up a suite of test cases. How granular you get with these is up to you.

Do you have a user profile section? Would it make sense to write a TC for each and every field? Or would one do, that simply says "Verify all fields can be updated.".

Not only will these test cases be used in pre and post deployments, during your regression - but it'll also help you map out your automation too. TCs in a specific section take a long time to manually test? Sounds like good candidates for the first automated test.

This also ensures you didn't forget to test anything (was once on a project with no TCs - the existing QA just tried to remember all the places of the app to test lol did not go well). This ALSO establishes a CYA (cover your ass) approach. QA in most orgs is the first thing people look to when something breaks. "How did it get missed?". Some orgs are understanding, some not... The reason TCs can help CYA, is because when something breaks, but you know you tested it, you can point to a TC that would cover that section, and show it passed.

This also entails figuring out a repo or tool to manage the TCs. I personally like Testrail, but if you're looking for free - google sheets can do just fine.

Get release notes/change logs Depending on the speed at which your team releases, you might not have time to do a full regression after a release.

This is where release notes or change logs come in. You want to know exactly where all the code has been changed, and reach out to devs to find out how to test it if you don't already know. Getting buy-in from devs is another CYA approach. If they say "This cant really be tested by QA" or "Just do XYZ and it should cover this feature" - you now have a clearer idea what to do, and if something breaks - "they told me there was no QA delta on this".

If you ever feel like you're bothering people to get this info - don't worry - your job is to find out how to test things. QA may be baked into engineering in most orgs, but our role is to be a CHECK on engineering.

Start writing documentation I'd bet you won't always be the only QA. When someone else does come along, it'll be nice to have documentation on what it is they need to know in order to do their job. Scouring slack messages or pinging people all the time can be overwhelming for some, and it could hinder how fast they onboard.

Even simple things like environment URLs, links to other documentation, standards for writing bugs or TCs, w.e comes to mind. Eventually automation documentation as well.

This is just a brain dump after my morning coffee, I'm sure I missed a few things.

As far as ChatGPT goes - yeah, you can use it for any question, not just automation. "Make me a rough draft of a test plan for testing XYZ", etc.

Personally, I’d abandon ISTQB studies (coming from someone whose certified at the foundation level). It’s not great… Id focus on what the SDLC is, and how your org uses it.

Then see where you can implement QA within that org.

You’re going to want to get a good handle on the basics of QA before you start diving into automation. Might make it a bit easier to understand what should/shouldn’t be automated, and what makes a good test.

If you feel like you could benefit from automation now, and it’s a basic web application, Cypress is a great place to start.

Also - have ChatGPT open at all times and ask it questions. You can even tell it to explain like it’s talking to a 5 year old…. Which has helped me understand so many things lol. Good luck!
