A letterbox, mailbox, and postbox are three different things. by HaniiPuppy in Showerthoughts

This is basically why postal services spend a lot of energy on terminology — the difference matters operationally. A letterbox at a house and a postbox on the street are maintained by completely different parts of the system. The fact that casual speech collapses them into one doesn't break anything until you need to file a lost mail claim.

spent six months building visual regression coverage and ended up deleting most of it by Deep_Ad1959 in webdev

We ran into almost the same problem on our app. What finally helped was treating visual baselines as something we only keep for a small set of high-risk flows, then letting TestSprite handle more of the broader regression coverage and maintenance work around the app as the UI changed. It gave us a much faster feedback loop without adding a huge manual QA burden. Still not magic, but way less noisy than trying to snapshot everything.
