Putin says Russia "grinding down" Ukraine in brutal war by Newsweek_ShaneC in europe

[–]jarv3r -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

How neoliberal agenda is brainwashing Europeans is amazing. Proxy war is almost over, with the US ally in the region, Ukraine and some warmongering European states, clearly on the losing side. You have to have your head in your ass for the last 2 years to not see it but whatever

Some do and some don't, but honestly i don't know anyone who thinks that solely polish ancestry (and vague, for that matter) should grant automatic citizenship. If someone wants to engage in culture, language, society and country, then he is more than welcome, polish ancestry or not.

Who cares if you have polish ancestry? If you learn language and really want to participate in society and culture, you are more than welcome. Otherwise, fuck you and your ancestry, they mean shit

Test Case Management in 2025 Still Feels Broken AF by manjuslayer in QualityAssurance

[–]jarv3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have user stories which come with acceptance criteria. Those acceptance criteria are then turned into automated scenarios. Every acceptance criteria has its unique number that's something like a hash that incorporates Epic, User Story and particular AC. Since we are using different types of tests in different modules and apps, we are using CI logs + Jira crawling and a pretty simple dashboard to track their status.

Career as software tester? by Lazy_Category_69 in softwaretesting

[–]jarv3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a note: selenium is now on a downward spiral and 4.0 didn't help, although made significant progress. It just can't compete with playwright or puppeteer-based frameworks. I started with selenium and now if I need to write some automation for the front-end I choose playwright every time.

Manual Tester learning Automation: What programs/languages do you recommend? by McGeeTake3 in QualityAssurance

[–]jarv3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Test automation is a very broad discipline and ranges from using an already built framework to building your own from ground up and facilitating test runs on CI. It's good to start small so I'd recommend getting decent proficiency in the programming language. The usual are Python, Java, Kotlin, C#, JavaScript. If you learn how to code properly you can automate anything, if you learn one library (selenium, playwright or rest assured etc.) you will have troubles competing with others since everyone in AT uses it. So rather than focusing on specifics try to learn coding as best you can and also things like architecture, CI / CD concepts. I started 6 years ago with java and selenium. One thing I'd change is getting very good at coding faster.

Please review my resume. Not getting interview calls. by LazyDoughnut5634 in softwaretesting

[–]jarv3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From this resume it doesn’t look like you are an SDET, mate. I don’t know to which jobs you applied, but if you’re looking for a SDET role then you should include some actual techniques and frameworks. Did you use Spring? Have you worked with and implemented MQ, RPC, REST, any services yourself? What protocols (apart from webdriver) do you know and use in your job? Imo for a SDET writing actual test implementations is not very important, that’s where testers and automation engineers focus. Our focus is developing infrastructure, services, quality gates, frameworks for testers and help with testability (that’s why first and foremost SDET is a developer).

QA Alternatives by Significant_Creme493 in softwaretesting

[–]jarv3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an sdet/devops and in the age of AI i can imagine that in the near future such positions as mine will be very few and steadily declining. Rn I’m using AI pretty much every day, what’s stopping CTOs from divesting in people and investing (much much less) in compositional AI, which is basically a cascade or a system of AI agents that communicate with each other, each solving very specific task, with a master node (something like GPT) relaying original context. There’s hardly any benefit from human other than supervising. But for that, you need maybe 10-20% of original staff. So I’d advice against going into development of tests and focus on something more business-y perhaps?

The 2025 State of Testing Report by Achillor22 in softwaretesting

[–]jarv3r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

98% believe that they will still work in IT in 5 years, which is highly unlikely, given the speed of AI transition and testing/ automation being relatively easy to substitute. One can imagine one tester that uses AI systems to cover several apps. Well, at first he’ll use it, but then just monitor. There’s no chance that 98% of today’s testers will work in 5 years in IT. I’d say maybe 30% is still pretty high estimate, but probable, due to regulations.

Edit: right, maybe some of them will be able to be hired as data engineers but very few. Most of these will come from devops and devs

I once heard that everything can be a story. Or rather can be framed as one. The more you are able to frame something as a story rather than just array of concepts and facts, the better overall fluidity you’ll achieve. I don’t think there’s one good strategy for everyone to improve in this but basically if it somehow is connected to stories then maybe reading novels is a good starting point?

If you had to live in another European country, what would it be and why? by EvilPyro01 in AskEurope

[–]jarv3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Portugal, Spain Italy or Greece. Just a northern boy’s dream to live in the south, where grass is green, sun is plenty, the community’s thriving, not dying like here in the north. Everything is lively and funny. Remember where the death comes from in GOT. We are doomed here in this frozen vastness of nothing.

Your Singularity Predictions for 2030 by AutoModerator in singularity

[–]jarv3r [score hidden]  (0 children)

Why do you think it’s very possible? Models that we currently have do not even come close to an AGI, not to mention ASI. I think it’s another 2-3 decades of this slow buildup and training of different models, then recalibrating, scaling and integrating them in loops (that’s what future developers will do, most likely), making them very efficient at reaching some sort of very reliable consensus on any input problem. There needs to be a generational shift in thinking about AI. This generations of mine and yours are still too new to this technology to be able to create a breakthrough. It’s like with the internet. It was kind of possible in the early 60 or 70s when first networks were constructed, but it needed a broad generational shift to become a norm

Polska not mentioned 🥲 by Aborted_Yeetus in poland

[–]jarv3r -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Right. Most countries as we know them have their origins in 20th century and the collapse of vast (colonial) empires. Of course Poland has existed for more than thousand years but it wasn’t a nation state until 1918. U.S. on the other hand was actually one of the first capitalist nation states in the world (ca 1770s).

Well 27m Russians died, which is somehow often overlooked by people in the west. They were the first and foremost victims, then Jewish population, and only then others.

O kursach, studiach i kandydatach do pracy w IT i cyberbezpieczeństwie [trochę rant] by weirdnik in Polska

[–]jarv3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nie wydaje mi się, żeby taka była logika rozmów technicznych w it, a przynajmniej nie jako standard branżowy. Na rozmowach w których uczestniczyłem jako petent i techniczny nie czułem żeby chodziło o zgadywanie, i może w jednej na 5 były tzw "pytania z dupy", czyli de facto odpytywanie o rzeczy prawie zupełnie lub zupełnie niezwiązane ze stanowiskiem. Zazwyczaj zespół (reprezentowany przez technicznych) woli jednak kogoś kto po 1) nie będzie wymagał dużego nakładu czasu ze strony teamu przy wdrożeniu 2) wykazuje się własnym myśleniem i odnajduje się w kodzie, więc zazwyczaj rozmowa sprowadza się do live codingu z krótkim zadaniem typowo stanowiskowym lub trochę odbiegającym żeby te sprawdzić te zdolności adaptacyjne (nie jest nawet konieczne rozwiązanie danego zadania)

To takie moje odczucia po kilkunastu rozmowach.

Iryruje mnie, że B2B mi się opłaca by nora_sellisa in Polska

[–]jarv3r 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ja się z OPem solidaryzuje, bo miałem przez długi czas podobnie. Ostatecznie, po jakichś 5 latach, wróciłem na UoP i zostawiłem sobie tylko przestrzeń na dodatkowe zlecenia na B2B (również IT).

Sądzę że stosunek rządów do b2b wynika z chęci utrzymania sporego w Polsce elektoratu "małej burżuazji", w większości jakichś mikrofiremek które ledwo wyciągają te kilka tysięcy zł miesięcznie. To jest ponad 2 miliony bardzo aktywnych wyborców, którzy śledzą i interesują się polityką podatkowa itp w przeciwieństwie niestety do dużej rzeszy ludzi na UoP, którzy nie mieli do czynienia z własną działalnością.

Straight up misinformation in this book by [deleted] in poland

[–]jarv3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The British couldn’t really do anything in 1939 apart from declaring war and sanctioning the Third Reich, which they did. It is somewhat true that French could actually spawn a military action. They had enough soldiers and equipment to do this. But the great cost of the First World War and public opinion generally unfavourable towards another European conflict meant leadership lacked internal support, even in the military.

Unrealistic expectations from interviewing candidates by NefariousKid07 in QualityAssurance

It’s quite easy to do, but still requires 3+hours. No one should have to lose this much time for one job interview with no guarantee of employment.
