Comoros, an island nation of less than a million people, more than 3,000 miles away from Iran, might not seem to have much at stake, politically, from the current conflict in the Middle East.

Я руковожу небольшим диджитал-агентством. У меня есть команда — специалисты на аутсорсе, которые занимаются SEO, рекламой и соцсетями. Но вся стратегия лежит исключительно на мне: у меня нет ни сооснователя, ни партнера, с которым можно было бы поспорить о том "где мы находимся" и "куда дальше". Годами это работало нормально, и конечно в этом есть один жирный плюс: когда все решения принимает один человек, ты не теряешь время на бесконечные... Read more ›

Главный вывод: будущий QA‑инженер — это промпт‑инженер с глубокими предметными знаниямиНа первый взгляд кажется, что автоматизировать тестирование в крупной компании просто: выбрал фреймворк, заставил всех писать на нём — и порядок.
