January 19, 2025Downsides to learning test automation with Python + Playwright
Just a piece of advice I wish someone told me years ago: Don't get caught up too much with what's "best" and the downsides of a path you decide to take. If you're already on a learning journey, don't stop. Otherwise you'll continue reading articles, opinions, etc...and just flip so often with languages, you never actually get any in depth knowledge of any of them. There are pros and cons to every framework/language. If you're worried about whatever you're learning being widely applicable...no one really can completely predict what's going to be the "thing" to learn. Trends are quick in our space. Stick with what you're doing, learn more about the language and keep practicing with playwright...those skills can transfer if you end up needing to use others. Once you master one set, you can start learning others and you'll be MUCH quicker at jumping in and doing things than if you kept switching. Now, if you're looking for the most rewarding combination that will guarantee you success: Selenium and Java....as much as I hate to say it. If you can do those, everything else is a breeze in comparison. That's the thing though, it will take much longer to learn, and basically is like starting off on "hard" mode in terms of automation, but some people prefer that method. More on reddit.com

In my previous company, I developed a batch job that tracked metrics across social media, such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Mastodon, Bluesky, Reddit, etc. Then I realized I could duplicate it for my own "persona". The problem is that some media don’t provide an HTTP API for the metrics I want.
I searched for a long time but found no API access for the metrics above. I scraped the metrics manually every morning for a long time and finally decided to automate this tedious task. Here’s what I learned.

r/softwaretesting on Reddit: Downsides to learning test automation with Python + Playwright
August 13, 2023 -
Hi all,
I am starting to learn automation using Python + Playwright (first learning the fundamentals of Python and then plan on advancing to Playwight).
I see a lot of people use other languages to automate, but I chose Python because it's supposably the easiest.
Are there any downsides in my choice of Python + Playwright?

The downside is you only know python and playwright. The upside is you now know some programming. Depending on your goals, I would expect you to learn and be comfortable with other languages in the future. Like maybe a year or two from learning python, I would expect you to learn js. Then you would have two languages to use in a work environment and be able to handle 80% of all web dev languages. The other being Java but that’s more for specific companies. In general, learn yes. Anything you learn will be good. Even better is if you have a learning mindset and don’t mind learning more. If your goal is any salary significantly higher than 100k then I would learn both python and js at minimum.
