  • as a specialist in this field, specifically (test engineering and automation) I’ll say AI shouldn’t be doing this job, but it will and it will probably be better at it.

    rationale being: good testing requires deep critique and reflection about product specifications, which are things that product/development teams constantly fail to do properly. there’s a level of abstraction needed to understand what is really needed and expected but it’s not being written down granularly enough, that I think AIs should have a hard time with

    at the same time, the average test professional is very incapable, due to how the market is shaped and long-standing neglect of the discipline by institutions. it’s a discipline that is more complex and difficult than the one of development itself, but it’s being done by much much less skilled people








  • Apple products are basically jewelry, you choose Apple products largely to be seen with them

    that’s usually the take of someone who has never actually used them. I’m far from an Apple fanboy - I actually use all OS because I understood a while ago that each has its strengths.

    my main machine is a Mac and the reason for that is that it is very reliable. I feel like I can count on it to take somewhere and have it just work and not get stuck in a boot loop, or locked out in the login screen (things I faced with linux distros) or stuck in a surprise update screen with Windows.

    of course it’s a locked down system with little flexibility and could be expensive, but it pays off in reliability imo. when I want to do some more tricky shenanigans I have a machine with linux, and windows is for… well it’s only really worth to play games with for me hehe

    tldr I wish all jewellery was that useful











  • is this such a common thing worldwide? I’m asking because I’m from Latin America and moved to Europe years ago. this was never a problem before, but now I see myself being left in a vacuum so often by people I meet here I’m starting to think this is the stupid reason why… and this hits particularly bad when you end up liking someone and the feeling is that they basically forgot you even exist :/
