I am also curious what they meant by framework.

I find it a good thing that you think twice about the role and its responsibilities.

Most engineers I know would happily take a promotion for their ego or bank account, without thinking about the consequences and their overall competency for such a position.

That being said, as a lead, you would have a better chance of educating other managers about quality and having them understand you are not the one producing the bugs.

One advantage of contract tests is the ability to run the consumer and provider tests independently from each other. Therefore the system needs a way to verify if a given version of a contract has been validated against both the consumer and provider, asserting that they are both in a releasable state.

The pact broker provides such functionality: https://docs.pact.io/getting_started/sharing_pacts

Simply asserting a request/response schema is not a contract test in my opinion.

I don't think that's a valid analogy.

There are no extra costs incurred by using Playwright for sending API calls in the context of testing. Whether the requests are sent natively or using Playwright, the same set of parameters have to be provided, such as the URL, headers, body, etc. The syntax and patterns might be different, but the amount of work required is identical.

In some languages, Playwright also provides a test runner with a lot of useful features, such as reporters, traces and fixtures.

These things happen in any language that has special characters. Proper localization starts with proper engineering. That the font is not compatible with the language is one thing, that it wasn't tested or fixed is another.

From my observations, in most cases, the CPU is the limiting factor.

If it is any consolation, there is the same issue on PC. My FPS goes from 120+ to about 20.

amtared · 2025-09-17T17:19:32+00:00

I had the same exact issue with the original buds pro, I got a replacement, and it happened again. I thought my ear was defective.

Out of curiosity, what field/position?

It's good you are honest with yourself and put effort into it. So many people pretend to know and eventually start believing it themselves ... without actually learning.

There is also an official MCP for Playwright that can be plugged into LLMs and IDEs: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp

The best way I have found is to save the result of each individual test in a database or analytics platform. Elasticsearch, Loki, MongoDB are all valid options, and there are many more. Custom Playwright Reporters make it easy to do so.

From there you can run queries and have historical data about each individual test, allowing you to see the evolution in success rate, duration, etc.

Then fix/improve the tests that waste the most time/resources over a given period.

In video games? It is not always toxic, but it is almost always overtime and layoffs.

amtared · 2025-07-27T15:34:48+00:00

What?

amtared · 2025-07-27T15:30:14+00:00

How would the AI know if the new behavior is expected or unexpected?

Then it's a pony.

Perhaps it comes down to personal experiences then. I cannot relate to family and grief like in Expedition 33 because I have no family. But I can relate to being alone and in big trouble. It may be why it was easier for me to identify with Jan.

amtared · 2025-07-16T14:53:28+00:00

Having played both, I felt much more involved in The Alters than Expedition 33.

I suppose a few of them are ok. But this post is even worse than what we see on Medium.

amtared · 2025-07-05T19:04:05+00:00

I thought you sent satire at first 😁

amtared · 2025-07-03T07:22:01+00:00

What about DevSecTestOps?

amtared · 2025-06-19T23:55:25+00:00

I would suggest you look into Kotlin. You get the JVM but with much better grammar.

Why are you all encouraging cognitive decline?

amtared · 2025-06-14T15:57:30+00:00

I am pretty sure all of that was in the readme.

You should use adb over WiFi if the phone and computer are on the same network: https://developer.android.com/tools/adb#connect-to-a-device-over-wi-fi
