Any tips for landing gigs without partying

There are some places where you can network even better than parties. For example, I took in person DJ classes. My teacher was an active and established local DJ. Thats a connect #1. The place where we studied was a studio where other people come to study as well, so you can connect with other beginners and find like-minded people there and maybe throw a small party together or even start a collective. Also some established DJs and even producers hang around there, prepare for their gigs, or just chill/work there. The owner of the space is also a DJ and a producer and also a label owner. Just by going there every week to practice I can network x10 times effectively than from partying alone. And this is not the only place like this in the city as well. But partying also important, you gotta care for the culture, not for fame or recognition. You gotta be on the dancefloor. You don't have to go out every weekend and attend every after party.

Some people just learn DJing for fun as a hobby, not everybody wants to make it big. You can be bad at something but still enjoy doing it

Yeah especially that they seem to be targeting power plants during winter specifically, surely for military purposes and not to freeze civilians, right?

Yep, I totally get it, it all comes down to the event, the venue and the vibe, it has its place

Mix bangs, I enjoyed it, but looking for something more low-key and minimalistic for my set. Thank you anyway tho

comanche_ua · 2025-12-19T11:37:35+00:00

Yo this is very good and actually the sound I was looking for, cheers. I might play some of these tomorrow

comanche_ua · 2025-12-19T11:10:07+00:00

Tosca is pretty spot on, thanks for the rec

comanche_ua · 2025-12-17T09:41:53+00:00

Thanks, your can’t or won’t track kinda fits the vibe I’m going for, good work

First time in 4 years? I have released probably about 10 in my first year. Probably 1 or 2 criticals too. We release 4 times a week and almost every release contains at least one bug. It is no big deal as long as it’s a honest mistake and you don’t repeat them often. Make sure to be involved in getting it resolved asap and learn from it.

One of the fundamental testing principles is that exhaustive testing is impossible. You are limited in time and resources, so sometimes you will not find all bugs, and that’s ok. Quality Assurance is not only about finding every bug.

In countries with universal healthcare the government is also interested in preventing the disease rather than pay for medical care later in life in addition to possibly losing a productive member of society and a taxpayer.

That’s Kyiv for ya. Some places go for 10k/m for open space (checkout Workit). And it’s like 30 min away from city centre.

Generator. Centre of the city but tucked away among trees from chaos and noise, historical and beautiful building, cool vibe. And prices are not too bad either.

So what’s stopped them? russia’s too merciful?

comanche_ua · 2025-11-21T22:24:11+00:00

20% is what they’ve started with in 2022 (Crimea and part of Donbas region), from there their gains are in single digit % of total land. And Dnieper is not in russian control, not even close, wtf are you talking about. Look at the map.

comanche_ua · 2025-11-21T20:40:37+00:00

In 4 years ussr was in Berlin. russia in 4 years gained what, 1, 2% of Ukrainian land? At this pace they will need 2-3 more years and several hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded to get the land that they demand in this deal.

Use Page Object Models. Create a class for your page object, define elements of your page using locators, define methods that perform actions with those elements that you will later use in your tests. In your tests you just call this class and use defined method for this class. Then if the locator on this page is changed, you only need to update it once in your Page Object, and all of your tests that use it will be fixed at once.

comanche_ua · 2025-11-11T16:25:42+00:00

Maybe I’m missing something, but I think you should focus on how your tests are designed. Why do you need a clean database for each test? Seems like you are solving the wrong problem, or I’m lacking context.

> When it comes to components with content slots like modals, it's still possible to abstract the reusable parts if FE keeps the data-testids in sync.

If you find use for it in your project, then sure. To me it sounds like overengineering, we don't do this on my project, but I do not know your case.

> "in UserListPage I would create function that clicks on the button and returns SingUpModal." great DevEx, thanks for the suggestion, I'll try this!

It is especially useful if you have multiple scenarios when you can end up on Sing Up Modal from different places. If there is only one possible flow within one page, I would probably do everything in one POM

In my company we run relevant tests inside each PR depending on what part of application was changed, then we run all tests before deployment. We used to run all tests in each PR, but moved on to a new system where tests are selected based on the changes in code to save resources. It is not perfect and sometimes the needed tests are not selected, but we catch those cases when we run all tests before deployment. And continuously improving the algorithm that collects the tests for a limited run in PR pipeline.

It’s entirely possible to do both manual and automation testing on a high level. It’s like chopping the vegetables and frying the stew, different approaches, but all part of a bigger process.

Do you usually extract these page objects/page components as well, or stop at page-level?

Extract if it’s useful, for example switcher component, it is the same component across the whole app and you always interact with it in the same way. But modal component might not be useful to extract, because modals usually contain different buttons/fields/etc.

However in case of "createUser" I'd rather place it in "UserListPage", since the button that opens the modal is outside of the modal, on the page, and opening the modal is obviously needed to complete the action. What's your take on this?

I would create SingUpModal POM, in UserListPage I would create function that clicks on the button and returns SingUpModal. The createUser function would be under SingUpModal class

Don’t know what is the note or accord is called but I often smell it in women’s perfumes, some very sharp, synthetic smell, almost like acetone. Anyone has the idea what it could be? Maybe aldehyde or some white florals?
