Client work in one bucket, personal branding in another, and side projects/adventures in a third. Inside of those, I would then categorize which engagement/project I was working on. At the end of the year, it was awesome! I had this huge ...

A new era for software testing

Automatic programming speeds up software writing but often lacks quality, however, LLMs can excel in software QA and testing, automating manual checks and identifying regressions. This approach can raise the bar of quality for new software releases, compensating for lower code quality produced at high speed.
