What is this Act trying to address and why is it important? Are there any potential negative side effects of implementing algorithmic transparency? Can it even be done? I answer these questions and have some of my own, as I take a look at this new bill that impacts advertising, privacy, data science, and content moderation.Continue Reading →
“Is this who I really am? Who am I, really?” — these are questions I asked myself early on in my career as a web developer. Maybe it was because I found myself in situations that seemed too good to be true, and felt like I didn’t deserve it.Continue Reading →

I haven’t been in QA for the last couple of years but I recently wanted to automate some UI testing that I’ve been doing manually. When I found out that Selenium IDE no longer supports the latest version of Firefox, I went to look for similar tools and although Ghost Inspector is my favorite, I ended up using a tool called SnapTest for this particular project I was working on.

This is Part II in a series where I’ve decided to break out a presentation over the course of several posts.
