Frontend developers do not know how to test for performance and do not value performance at all. It’s both equally frustrating and baffling. So much so that I have this growing voice in my head telling me to quit my job and found a performa

In my current Node.js application I provide a GUI that runs in the browser as well as a command driven terminal interface. The GUI is much better for status updates, receiving changes from events on remote devices, doing many things at once

It’s hard to just blame the employers when I have seen so many people, most especially on HN, dying to treat employers as fashion accessories. Don’t tell me the rest of you haven’t seen developers fawning over themselves to become a part of

85 tests and nearly 300 assertions in under a minute is still orders of magnitude faster than what I see elsewhere. There isn’t a single magic bullet performance killer. Extreme performance comes from absolutely everything: faster approach

Good question. Same origin policy always applies so if you aren’t going to backdoor the browser as a bypass you need to in the same domain. The primary limitation then is that you must own the site you wish to automate, or run a replication

I cannot provide too many details without violating anonymity of this anonymous account. I can say that in my primary test suite I have about 85 tests each which comprise a variable number of user events and assertions totaling about 290 to

Selenium, Playwright, and Puppeteer all make use of Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to access the browser, even Firefox. CDP is the current de facto standard to remotely access the browser. It actually starts an HTTP server in the browser th

Programming is diverse, so let me explain from my narrow perspective. I am a JavaScript developer. I am much older than you. It is very much a young persons game, but let me qualify this. Most people actively programming JavaScript for empl

We are a car dependent town craving better transportation options. Other problems include power brownouts and school over crowding (they can’t build schools fast enough).

As a self-taught developer here is how I did it. I taught myself XML Schema a year before my employer at the time involuntarily forced me into programming. From XML Schema I learned a deep appreciation for language modeling, data structures

Nobody here sees the apartments as a good thing and it has nothing to do with house prices.

My town might grow by as much as 30,000 new residents just this year. We didn’t want all the apartment complexes because the infrastructure already couldn’t handle the growth, but alas there are several dozen new incredibly large apartment

Twitter felt like screaming into a void… an impersonal broadcast to followers, kind of like gossiping. That never appealed to me so for me anything felt like a superior alternative.

Lost time for the commute. Toll and parking expenses. Greater food expenses. Inability to multitask between work and personal computers. Less time flexibility.

Echo chambers are where insecure people intentionally congregate to cast heckler’s vetos. Often the content is less important than the act of deference to a group. I would prefer to not associate with intellectually lazy (stupid) people.

My learning from test automation: * The primary goal of test automation is to prevent regression. A secondary goal can be performance tuning your product. * Tests are tech debt, so don’t waste time with any kind of testing that doesn’t imme

Sometime comment replies scream unintentionally I can’t read . In that case it’s energy in search of attention and social validation, which is the opposite of smart. This is why I abandoned my HN account using my name and only post anonymo

My personal project is a working case study proving the practicality of the idea. It’s not ideological and enables things you would dare do with prior existing server/client models.

Taste is the soft skills side of exercising an idea. Skills are the actual technical skills. Both of those are measurable and quantifiable. Most people will argue this, often for self centered reasons because they don’t know how to measure

You don't. You build something better. Twitter is a form of low quality information broadcast in that roughly 10% of the active users post anything and the remaining 90% consume it, so at this point its basically just an overpriced RS

The only advice on this subject: 1. Learn to use Nodes APIs and don’t rely on NPM packages for most things. For external applications, like databases, rely on the vendor integration package supplied by that application’s vendor. 2. Take err
