Womp womp (I jinxed it lmao)


Hey so....yeah, that workshop? Turns out, her audience wanted a virtual workshop so she moved it to Tuesday.

Why can't I do Tuesday, you ask?

I'm doing my own live workshop for my students in Social QA Bootcamp.

Showing them how to do API test automation with Playwright.

And I'm picking my wife up from work halfway into the workshop so....

...yeah. Priorities 😉

Nothing says I can't still hop on a call with the marketing coach/musician when we both have a spare moment, but it seems it won't be in the super-near future.

Stay tuned for more on that (eventually).

In other news, I'm getting more and more excited about the relaunch in May.

I know, it's a long ways a way, but...I've got a lot of new Playwright content coming your way:

  • Matrices, Shards, and other parallelization strategies
  • Test data factories and API testing
  • Custom reporters

And I'm locking it all inside Social QA Bootcamp.

By the end of the year, this bootcamp will contain most of what I know about Playwright.

And that's a decent amount at this point.

I know y'all said you want more Python Playwright content and I aim to deliver that to you this year, too.

Maybe in a smaller format like a self-guided course or a live workshop.

You tell me which sounds more appealing:

Have a fun weekend,

Hey there, I told you I'd let you know where I decided to document my parkour coaching journey. Here it is: >>> Door County Traceur blog I decided it would be a good excuse to try Beehiiv since they let you have a public blog and I always wondered how it compared to Kit. I'm only using it as a blog. No emails. Not sure how notifications work for it but if you want to know what's happening, check back for updates. Cheers, Steven

First off -- Happy Valentine's Day! 🫶 If you don't have someone to go on a date with, go get some seasonal treats and have some fun. My wife and I are heading up the peninsula to a hotel and trying a new Italian restaurant. It's gonna be fun, but that's not why you opened this email. For all I know, this might be my last email. And yes, I've said this before. Twice, actually. Maybe 3 times, I forget. But this time is different (really). You might be asking yourself: Why, of all times, would...

Do you ever feel like no job's ever quite the right fit for you? A couple months ago I was on a call with 2 friends I met on 𝕏 in my early days. While we caught up, some-crazy-how we ended up on the subject on my old YouTube channel. I was that guy who recklessly deleted social media accounts claiming, "I'll never go back!" The cloud is Facebook (and of course I always did) So I don't have any photos from old Facebook accounts. All the old parkour videos I recorded with my friends when we...
