Turns out it was a first time visit for Ronald as well - he’s a community manager in Cypress and does awesome job of taking care about Cypress ambassadors. Got a fresh t-shirt, the old one was used a lot 😅
Also met with @be_mann and @drewlanham said big thanks to both of them, because the opportunities that opened up to me thanks to their hard work still blow my mind.
Next stop was Orlando! @RandallKent, co-founder of Cypress was hanging out there so I came to say hello. We talked about Cypress its past and also its future, which we are both very positive about
In Orlando, I went for the #stareast conference to do a #cypress workshop. I got to meet some amazing people there. My first IRL encounter with @TristanLombard2 and @AutomationPanda we exchanged gifts and hugs ❤️
I also got to meet folks from @Applitools. @MosheMilman gave me a gift and @johnsonpatricee invited me to speak at a conference right on the spot. I’m so thankful for these people, they helped me so much and still continue ❤️
Of course, the whole conference was ran by a bunch of awesome people. @awadesqe BIG thank you for inviting me!
Rachelle was running all around, took care of everything (me included) and @SrPerf basically spent streaming the whole conference helping big time
After this, it was time to go to Boston. Where @ek121268 gave me his book and helped me drive away from the most horrible airbnb I ever lived in 😂
Then I went for a drink with @bahmutov a.k.a. Gleb Almighty 😂 we had an awesome chat about Cypress, teaching, doing courses and workshop.
The next day, I met up with @_jessicasachs and talked about frameworks, future of Cypress and our lives. We had a great time and I’m glad that we had a chance to meet
After that, it was time to go. As I said, my heart is full and I can even describe how thankful I am for all this and for every one of you. My home is open to you whenever you come close to Slovakia and I hope we get to meet soon.
Love you all! ❤️

Yeah, I’m pulling my @Cypress_io course from Udemy. What’s happening to @wesbos is awful. @kentcdodds is right, not a good company. Last month I had ~5x number of enrolments than usual, yet my earnings were close to average. Udemy has been handing out my content for a fraction.
Doesn’t make sense to me. Might just hand out my course for free. I will be reuploading the course to my youtube channel -> filiphric.com/youtube Subscribe to stay tuned, it’ll be probably out this week. It has been getting 4.65 - 4.82 rating on Udemy, I think you’ll enjoy it.
Also, there’s plenty of Cypress-related content on filiphric.com and I add a blog every week. I have some really cool stuff lined up. If all goes well, I will be appearing on @TestAutomationU with another Cypress course.
Yesterday, @Cypress_io introduced test retries into their newest release. Are they promoting bad testing practices?
Short answer: No.
Now for the long answer. 🧵
1. When talking about flakiness, we cannot pretend like it has a single cause. Of course, badly written test will always be a badly written test and you should put in your effort to fix that. Or maybe think about how much you need that test if you are jumping over hoops with it.
2. From day one, Cypress built their testing tool to be integrated within your application repo, with continuous integration setup in mind. Basically, e2e tests written in Cypress are a part of your test step in your pipeline.
