> God forbid UI Especially for UI, the amount of hours saved from e2e tests with playwright was huge for me. Tests for iOS Safari and Chrome Desktop, all with their own layout quirks from unexpected ways a layout adjustment plays out on a DPI x1 1920x1080 screen with mouse clicks vs DPI x2.75 900x1600 smartphone screen with touch inputs. Especially here in Japan I have seen whole firms hired to UI tests a million different variations of these each release candidate and that is "the biggest waste of time in modern software engineering" I have seen so far. You can drown in trying to automate all forms of testing and human testing is important. But so is automating the basic sanity checks. Every tool can of course be misused in pursuit of an impractical extreme of either.
