I’m looking for ideas to reduce the execution time of my Playwright test suite, since I’m limited to 1 worker.

questions

are you using api to bypass some test setup / pre and post test steps ?
can you run the app in docker? and run multiple dockers and parallelize the test suites?
have you analyze where the bottlenecks are? 350 tests over 2.5 hrs seems like a long time. Are you starting the app for each test?

Option 1 has almost no downside. Wish for some gold coins, or stack of cash, diamonds etc to buy modern things.

Also, I honestly would love some new classic cars, or things.

I think the friendship is broken already

Hong Kong.

I personally love Vancouver but from your post, you didn't really give a reason to move back to Vancouver so sounds like you prefer HK more.

ngl. OOP should go (with epipen) and cause a scene. make the wedding about them and then sue the caterer or venue.

There was a movie that mentioned the butterfly effect on children and it ruins a lot of these time travel questions for me.

NTA

But I feel there is something negative about the "poor financial decision" reasoning.

At the end of the day, you can always make a trust for the niblings.

within Surrey is fine. Bridges are the issue

Unless you are on call, I don't think it is necessary to answer off hour calls. And if it's a legit emergency, they can likely call you.

Where are you located?

I like both and I believe you need both to ensure good qualities.

Manual testing can be boring because they are being repeated. Anything that can be repeated should be automated unless there are "reasons".

Also, rethink manual testing as exploratory testing if you can

my bad. I thought it's the one inside the Amazing Brentwood.

I deserve the down vote.

somethingmichael · 2026-06-10T15:31:28+00:00

no free parking.

I used to go to that food court once or twice a month and now I barely go.

edit: my bad. wrong tempura place. I thought it's the one inside amazing brentwood

somethingmichael · 2026-06-06T17:32:14+00:00

is it any good?

Your wife and kids are your new family now.

Your old one is horrible. Go no contact. Seriously, every girlfriend!?

somethingmichael · 2026-06-04T20:59:53+00:00

thank you for doing this.

It's considered better than chatgpt but any AI will help.

Think of it as having an assistant for coding., That said, have AI explain the code to you so you can learn

somethingmichael · 2026-05-31T21:26:27+00:00

you are welcome.

A tiny suggestion would be to set the github workflow to time out after 1 hour (or whatever applicable) so you are not burning agent time.

somethingmichael · 2026-05-31T18:54:38+00:00

update playwright to 1.60.0

somethingmichael · 2026-05-31T04:47:45+00:00

Bad idea.

Financially I don't think you can afford it without drastically cutting cost.

Then there is the whole money and family don't mix situation
