Are you aware of the Project Management Triangle? Are you aware of how it is affecting your projects? Especially, how is affecting your quality?
I’ve seen a lot of discussions recently which feels like not many people are aware.
If you missed #appiumconf this year you can now watch my talk on YouTube!

Microsoft: I swear I have no knowledge about you besides what you tell me.
Microsoft: I insist I have no knowledge of your location.
Microsoft: The weather in Parkville, Maryland where you are is sunny and 35 degrees.
Free at last! iOS is free at last at least in the EU... but I think this will kill browser choice rather than enhance it

I wrote a blog post about the constant click-bait posts that go out there that are old, out dated, or just plain wrong.

A very short OpenUK opinion poll on 👉🏾AI opennness 👈🏼.
We would love ❤️ to hear from you by midnight UK Thursday 26th October.
It takes 5 minutes to complete.
The more of you who complete it the better we will understand the temperature of thinking.
🙏 Please share with others here, on slack, discord and other communication channels.
Let the world hear your thoughts in advance of the UK’s AI Risk Summit
@danjac@masto.ai I am less worried by it... There is clearly a need for things to improve the JS world... I am shocked by public source companies being upset that people copied their public code and built their own product. Was there any other expected outcome?
P.s. if you’re looking for a #Hacktoberfest project to collaborate with #nightwatchjs
has repositories and issues looking for help
Feel free to come speak to me if you want to talk about migrating on the #Nightwatch #Discord
And #nightwatchjs
manages browser updates for you using @seleniumHQ Manager.
However, I wonder if this is incredibly shortsighted as they are surrounded by FOSS competition that is faster and better than them. We released #nightwatchjs
earlier this year we were 2.5x faster with better waiting, better browser support, mobile support
