just saw Microsoft laid off the product owner for Playwright ! honestly I think that's a shame, she was doing a kick ass job quoting a tweet from the past as a grim reminder. test automation tools are not core to companies like MS
unpopular reminder: once upon a time microsoft had a test automation tool on github called "WinAppDriver" the team was disbanded and stopped responding to issues in 2021 link -->

Turn your API Spec into a Test Suite. Instantly. For many teams, there is a painful gap between the API design (the spec) and the API tests (the reality). Bridging that gap usually means hours of manual scripting. With today’s release, Xplorer closes that gap.

this one time I said YAML sucks to a founder of Argo AMA
Some early HC employees will probably remember me joking that it was my divine mission to eliminate YAML from the world. I joked I started HC only to kill YAML. Like, back in 2013. And we (as an industry) were so close! Then Kubernetes came out and fucked it all up.

Omarchy 3.1 is going to ship with a Windows VM installer in the box. Fantastic way to run those few apps you can't get on Linux in their own workspace.

I have used the term "cosplaying as a founder" for this
@kevinrschultz The lifestyle of an actual founder CEO is very much less glamorous than the very small subset of performative clown shit on social media. Definitely saw lots of people assume that even before social media though!
