Спросите любого инженера, как разграничить доступ в приложении, — услышите RBAC: роли и права. Но RBAC — это концепция, а не рецепт. Совет «заведите роли и выдайте им права» не говорит ничего о том, как это сделать, когда доходит до реального продукта.А в продукте почти сразу всплывают вопросы, на которые модель «роль → право» ответить не может: Читать далее Read more ›

Я несколько лет проработала в банке со строгим дресс-кодом ‒ костюм, каблуки, стандартный 8-часовой рабочий день. После смены профессии перешла на кроссовки и обувь на невысоком каблуке. Неприятные ощущения стали заметнее: икры постоянно тянуло, мышцы стали жесткими. После посещения ортопеда выяснилось, что постоянное ношение обуви с высоким каблуком приводит к деформации (спазму) икроножных мышц, а ахилл адаптировался к постоянному положению тела на носках.Сейчас я занимаюсь изучением вопросов раннего ста Read more ›

Штатный @playwright/mcp работает в общем BrowserContext, и агенты перехватывают страницы друг у друга.
