It doesn’t have to be testing specific, it could be to help with any of your day to day activities.

What new tools have you started using in the past 12 months?

I’m hoping it will inspire us with our work. :folded_hands:

A bunch of security tools that come and go (open source)
But currently working with: Semgrep | Semgrep Code to help our developers :slight_smile:

Just discovered JSONata so might take a look at that too: https://jsonata.org/

Cursor AI.
But later I started to feel like the memes said and now rely on Chatgpt + My own conscience.

Chatgpt to actually automate stuff. Used to be a coding hater, aint that any longer…

ChatGPT, it helps me save time because I don’t have to Google everything myself most of the time.

What kind of things have you managed to automate that perhaps you haven’t/couldn’t before?

First of all, programming does not rock my boat. At all. And my organisation had some E2E tests in a platform called Coypu that was just too costly to keep maintained. So we did really skip automated testing altogether.

Now with Chatgpt, I have automated E2E gui testing as well as API testing. With very little effort.

Mostly testing related: Bruno âž™ https://www.usebruno.com
And for file system browsing: ForkLift âž™ https://binarynights.com

Both great replacements for other tools I’ve used before.

continue.dev in VS Code using local LLMs. I almost exclusively use the tab completion and not chat. I use it to type things I was already going to type but I 100% drive the implementation design.

I’ve also been exploring using the Rust framework Axum. I found I can pack HTML/CSS/JS in to the binary producing a 5mb~ single file web app that runs on localhost. I’ve been using this setup to create test and development tools. It’s super nice.
