it's a sign

Jason Huggins—creator of Selenium and Appium’s core ideas—is now pushing testing into its next era: AI‑native automation. In his talk “Vibium: What We're Building and Why,”

Q: What is the main difference between Vibium and simply connecting an Al model to Chrome DevTools MCP or using Playwright MCP? A: Vibium promotes open standards, not proprietary protocols. It's that simple. We either let a handful of megacorporations control everything or we don't.

waiting for vibium v1 to ship

important vibium news

i think i'm finally getting the hang of this. it's not so much that i made a heart. it's that it wasn't an accident.

yup, feels like a new generation is learning what life is like when microsoft has a lot of power. (tl;dr: they use it.)

it's time to play my favorite game: are "we colder than the south pole?"

it's time to ship. 🚢 v1 by christmas. ✨🎅🎄🎁✨ github.com/VibiumDev/vi...

Take care of yourself. Eat a high protein meal, drink a big glass of water, get enough sleep, charge your phone away from your bed, and take a walk outside if you can. One thing at a time. I know how hard you're trying. I am so proud of you.

making and testing a functional 3d chess simulator is the ultimate nerd snipe testtrack.org/3d-chess

here's the thing about playing 3d chess: you don't actually have to be very good at it to impress people. all you have to do is try... *once*. and then boom -> "omg! they're playing three-dimensional chess!" youtube.com/shorts/p5AZ9...

vibium - yc f25 - founder video my reply to yc's spring 2025 request for startups for browser automation y... not, amirite? youtu.be/d-YNQqRnVao

i made a test site to test testing tools called test track. it now also has a test track. testtrack.org/vehicle-simu... (i'm planning to use the site to compare and benchmark playwright vs puppeteer vs selenium webdriver vs lots of ai-powered options that are available now.)

do *not* share this information with count rugen.

While I was in Ireland last month, several people suggested watching The Wind that Shakes the Barley. Finally got around to watching it tonight. But I could only get about 30 minutes in before I had to turn it off. It's so intense.

on my someday/maybe list for years was recreating one of my favorite video games from when i was a kid: apache strike. but it always seemed like it'd be too much work. then claude code comes along and boom: a proof-of-concept written on my phone while i'm in bed with a cold. behold: "drone delivery"

In 20 years, we've gone from no one caring about browser automation to every YC company being a browser automation company. Wild times.
