👩‍💻 Anastasiia Kopachynska, Manual QA Engineer at Sombra, spills the tea on the common mistakes QA engineers make when trying to optimize API testing with Postman. From forgetting how to handle dynamic variables to accidentally sending requests into the void, these little oopsies can really throw a wrench in your testing flow. Want to avoid the chaos? Learn how to automate token retrieval without breaking a sweat, manage headers like a boss, and generate random data that doesn’t feel… too random. 👉 Plus, we’ll show you how to keep your scripts organized (no, naming it “final_final_v2” won’t help), execute requests in the right order, and keep your test cases clean.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for software developers, QA experts, and testers is expected to skyrocket by up to 25% by 2031. If you're thinking of expanding your team with top-tier specialists, it might be time to consider modern hiring approaches like outsourcing or staff augmentation. Here’s why: ✅Instead of locking into full-time salaries, benefits, and the overhead of training, outsourcing gives you the flexibility to pay for exactly the skills you need, when you need them. It’s cost-effective and ensures that you get specialized talent on demand. ✅On the other hand, staff augmentation allows you to scale your team dynamically—perfect for handling busy seasons or specific projects—without the commitment of permanent hiring. ✅Both approaches give you access to global talent, helping you connect with experts who have the niche skills that might not be readily available locally. This way, you get the right talent at the right time, all while keeping your operations lean and agile. Would you consider leveraging outsourcing or staff augmentation to give your team a competitive edge? #hiringtrends #BusinessGrowth #outstaffing #outsourcing

Does anyone have extensive experience with shadcn/ui? We're considering migrating to it from MUI, but there are some concerns around maintainability, and needing to fill the gaps on some components that are not currently available with shadcn. There are also concerns around documentation after moving to a more bespoke solution with a new custom library, but I think that Storybook would help with that. What do you think? Is the juice worth the squeeze on a migration?
