Many from the protractor test suite category detailed task syntax example load page load a page browser.get('yoururl') browser btn actions browser back/forward browser.navigate().back() OR browser.navigate().forward() access elements on page See Protractor API list and examples from Protractors test suite access by angular ngmodel name (must match ngmodel in the html) this is the preferred approach element(by.model('person.name')); access by the css id on the page e.g, #user_name (but this can be brittle) element(by.id('user_name')) access angular binding to get generated value i.e. for {{}} element(by.binding('person.concatName')); access angular repeat list data (must match repeat stmt in the html) See Protractor test suit l...

Notes on interview with Kent Beck about AI and why it's like a "genie"

TDD, AI Agents and coding with Kent Beck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSXaxOdVtAQ This podcast was really fun to learn from and I recommend. Kent is famous in the programming world, so his take on AI is worth learning from.

Kents using agentic tools where it generates a bunch of code from a single prompt. Kent says nobody knows what works so try it all. So we should be experimenting.  Kents tried a number of different languages as he's experimented. Kent thinks of AI as an "unpredictable genie". Its a genie in that "it grants wishes and you wish for something and you get it, but it's not what you actually wanted: it volunteers features, doesn't care about design, willing to cheat (delete/modify tests) there can be some good things with this, but some bad I love this metaphor. I have experienced these aspects o...
