what's his youtube?

With bullshit jobs, could you expand on finding meaningful work? It's something that has eaten me up the last while (non meaningful work and being unsure what direction to head to find it)

I've searched a few reviews of the book but largely seemed to focus on how many jobs are pointless rather than finding non pointless stuff

Any advice on finding a working logical argument? I find myself stuck in unhelpful loops sometimes i.e. Do I enjoy my job? Do I have a sense of purpose in my job?

I realise the answer will be personal and only I can provide it but I'm consistently failing and it's impacting my mood

I'm potentially interested in moving to Malta with my wife, possible to email you about the realities? My email is in my profile

not Dublin myself, further up North but I'll get in touch, thank you for the kind offer!

Improve testability throughout applications by working with their team, setup and maintain test frameworks (hopefully improving them over time), determine what tests should be automated and those that shouldn't, write automated tests, coach team members on writing automated tests and testing in general, add new tools/processes to improve testing, investigate the application in-depth to find risk areas.

I'd be curious if HN think the above includes things that shouldn't be there or is missing a number of items? I'd be curious what the 80/20 for an automation engineer looks like?

I think you're jumping to an awful lot of conclusions there?

The reason I'm targeting automation is that it tends to be done really badly in most companies. At the moment I feel I do it pretty well but always seek to improve. At the moment I don't feel like I'm improving much and want to avoid things staying static for long. Therefore I'm trying to re-evaluate the basics or gain new insight and get back on track

I did indeed mean test automation, apologies, I should have been more clear.

Great to see a HN post on testing, they seem few and far between to me!

can I ask why you decided to do this? The tests were just flakey while in robot framework world?

thanks for asking this question, enjoying reading through the responses and may even get in touch with you OP as you sound similar to me.

is the course any good? I've considered it but yet to pull the trigger

thanks for this! You mentioned Selenium, automated tester?
