๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Weekly Dev Recap โ€“ Automation, File Chaos & A Laptop Crying for Help

Heyo ๐Ÿ‘‹ This week was light on work and heavy on chaos, so hereโ€™s what Iโ€™ve been up to:

๐Ÿค– Learning: Automation Testing 101

Since things were quiet on the project side, I focused on learning the tools behind automation testing โ€” and ended up drafting a testing strategy we could actually use in our company.

I was mostly exploring new tools like SonarQube (which I already knew a bit from uni), Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and Applitools. The goal was to understand how they work, how they can fit into our workflow, and where we can start.

Right now, we donโ€™t use any test automation at all, so I tried to come up with a solid starting plan โ€” and my team lead actually approved it! Yay ๐ŸŽ‰


๐Ÿ“ฆ Work: Transferring ~20k Server Files (Help.)

So we had to migrate all our server files to a different domain this week. No big deal, just around 20,000 files.
Thatโ€™s not a typo. Twenty. Thousand.

Let me tell you:
๐Ÿง  Me: โ€œThis is fine.โ€
๐Ÿ’ป My laptop: wheezes in fan noise
โŒ› ETA: โ€œForever. Maybe longer.โ€

It eventually finished. I survived. The files (mostly) made it. But for real โ€” next time Iโ€™m scripting everything or rage-quitting IT.


๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ Vibe Check

Chill week overall, with a nice balance of โœ๏ธ strategy work and ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ minor breakdowns over file transfers.

If youโ€™re also deep in automation or digital janitor mode, I feel you. Weโ€™re out here doing our best. See you next week ๐Ÿ’…
