Apparently Coffeezilla has exposed Rabbit R1 for its AI-based LAM actions not actually using AI🤔 It’s using Playwright (a test automation framework) to perform the actions (like orders via DoorDash). But those actions break every time the services change the UI related to the actions. The thing is, maybe this could be resolved (or at least improved) by keeping Playwright and just adding an AI library for automating the selectors, such as https://zerostep.com and then the actions would be more maintainable 🤯 #ai #rabbitr1 #coffeezilla #playwright #llm #openai #programming #coding #backlash #testautomation #maintainablecode

PSA 🚨 During the current frontend engineer hiring, I have come across at least half a dozen CVs where linkedin/github urls and mailto: links point to faangpath.com/other template resume maker websites. It takes one click for the person screening to move to the next CV, I doubt they will copy and paste those urls in a browser. Therefore, please test links on your CV before you apply. Also, remember what Virus said: #hiring #resume #job #application

Inspired by Yangshun Tay's post, I always been a firm believer in writing more code is one of best ways to level yourself as software engineer. The more you code, the more you: - Solidify your understanding of core concepts. Each line you write reinforces the fundamentals, making them second nature. - Develop your problem-solving muscles. Coding is a constant dance with challenges, and each solution strengthens your critical thinking. - Build a portfolio of practical experience. Hands-on projects showcase your skills and fuel your passion for the craft. Always coding for fun

From being a Testing Engineer → Backend Development ⭐! (Sharing my colleague story) So, my friend who started his Software Engineering career as a Tester at Adobe, made a switch to development internally after dedicated more than 5 years!💪 For them, the decision was a difficult one but not an impossible one. Their transition was not at all easy and had its challenges to cross. So, here are 3 points that helped them greatly, hope they help you too → 1️⃣ If you dream of moving into Development, UPSKILL Rigorously. 👍 You need to have a solid understanding of not just DSA but System Design as well. Like, they dedicated significant time to learning new programming languages & tech to keep themselves updated. ✅ To become the best in topics, they revised it thoroughly and made sure to engage into projects. 2️⃣ The Testing Experience helped them a lot. It’s the background only that made them a better Backend Developer. 🙌 Their testing experience helped them design keeping the tests in mind which improved the Code quality. 3️⃣ Lastly, NETWORKING was the net worth. 💪 They made sure to extensively connect with like-minded people on LinkedIn & other platforms, which helped them get a lot of great opportunities. Now, I know switching careers, especially within such different domains of tech, is not easy, and has its own set of issues. However, if you really dream of moving into Development, and need the right support & guidance, I’d suggest taking the help of MAANG experts at Bosscoder Academy. Check them here: https://bit.ly/4b0gHmI Enrol in a course that’s specially designed for 7+ years of experienced professionals and get: ✅ Structured curriculum heavily focused on DSA & System Design. ✅ Live Weekend Classes, with Limited Batch Size with only experienced Working Professionals. ✅ Personal Mentorship from Industry Veterans working with MAANG. ✅ 24/7 Doubt Support & Placement Assistance for Senior Roles. #adobe #collab #development

In the month of July, we celebrated disability pride month. You know what else we celebrated? Hello AI in Google! Together with my teammates, Lan Tran Quy Nguyen Karen Lim (林温雁) Kai Ling Seng, am proud to present Gen8Eye. It's an exploration on how AI can potentially help enhanced navigation for visually impaired folks. Trivia: Do you know blindness is not just a complete loss of sight but it can come in multiple forms. Based on Perkins, there are 6 forms of blindness. https://lnkd.in/gjEtgwA5 Our project is to use map data plus visual Livestream from your phone and generate instructions to guide people. Interested? Check out the video for a quick demo! Oh, did I mention that it comes in multiple languages?

Seize Japan’s DX Revolution: A Golden Opportunity for Offshore Businesses Japan's digital transformation (DX) is rapidly advancing, integrating cutting-edge technologies to enhance operations and customer experiences. This surge in digitalization has created a high demand for skilled IT professionals, especially in cloud computing, web development frameworks, API integration, and DevOps. However, Japan faces a shortage of domestic talent, presenting a prime opportunity for offshore businesses. To succeed, offshore companies must understand the high-demand skills, adapt to Japanese business culture, and form strategic local partnerships. Cultural training and respecting local business etiquette are key. Government initiatives, like tax incentives and subsidies, further support DX adoption, making the market even more attractive. Successful case studies show the potential for offshore businesses to thrive. By overcoming challenges such as language barriers and regulatory complexities, and building strong local relationships, offshore companies can play a pivotal role in Japan's DX journey. https://lnkd.in/ewQm3kk8

With fewer resources to drive the change, it has been the new normal in each territory. The DevTx program is an assistant that goes with customers, figuring out why they made decisions at any stage, aligning with the corporate or product project goals, reconfirming the tradeoffs, and stepping on the team capabilities growth journey. Have you ever encountered challenges matching the technical investment, decision, and achievement of goals? Perhaps to slow down and crunch the unknown corner through different viewpoints, which may raise the awareness of socio-technical; you would never be the lonely hero; grow up your team, though.
