Descripción

Youknow the syntax, you watched the tutorials, but you still cannot pass the technical interview. In this episode, we break down why learning testing tools is not enough to get an automation job. We cover system thinking, the importance of continuous integration, and why communication is the ultimatefilter during interviews. Stop wasting time on the wrong things 📺 Prefer the visual version?

Test Automation is Dead. And We Have Killed It.

Nietzsche once said that God is dead. In 2026, I look at our CI/CD pipelines, our flaky tests, and our bloated frameworks, and I can't help but feel the same way about Automation. It’s dead. And we are its murderers.For years, the industry has sold us a lie: that coding is the highest form of testing. We rushed to master syntax, locators, and infrastructure, but in the process, we lost the very thing that made us testers in the first place - our hunter’s instinct. We’ve traded critical thinking for a maintenance manual, becoming operators of complex machines that are perfectly tuned to look at the world through a keyhole while the rest of the building is on fire.In this essay, I’m breaking down the "Automation Delusion" and why the technocratic definition of seniority is a dead end. If your only value is translating a manual step into a line of code, AI is already faster than you. It’s time to stop apologizing for "just testing" and return to the core of our profession. 📺 Prefer the visual version?

Why Your UI Tests Take Forever (And How To Fix It)

Are your automated tests taking hours to run? Do they fail randomly because of a UI change on the homepage? In this episode, we tackle the #1 architectural mistake junior Test Automation Engineers make: using the UI to set up test data. Learn why mirroring manual testing steps in your code creates a massive bottleneck, how false negatives destroy trust in your framework, and how you can use API requests to inject session tokens and make your UI tests 10x faster and more reliable. 📺 Prefer the visual version?
