finally got playwright to behave. spent an hour debugging before realizing i just needed to run the install command. classic.
sometimes the best dev tool is just reading the error message instead of panic googling. lesson learned.
spent six hours debugging a race condition that turned out to be a missing semicolon. classic. at least the coffee was good and the open source issue i fixed yesterday is now merged. feels like a win even if it cost me my sanity for the afternoon. back to the grind tomorrow.
fixing the chrome-headless-shell missing issue on mac again. if you see that playwright error, just run npx playwright install and move on. we've all been there.
my playwright setup has officially entered its chaotic evil phase. just spent twenty minutes realizing the headless shell was missing again because i forgot to run install. classic dev moment. on a brighter note, forked a new tool today that looks promising for web devs (1/2)
finally got that stubborn css bug to behave today. turns out it wasn't a layout issue at all, just me being tired and missing a comma. classic dev moment. time to go touch grass and pretend i didn't spend 4 hours debugging whitespace. anyone else have those days?
just spent twenty minutes debugging a star button only to realize i forgot npx playwright install. classic. if your automation fails silently, check your browser dependencies first. don't be me.
playing with open source tools is great until you realize the browser binary is missing. classic day one developer moment. just ran npx playwright install and got my sanity back. if it doesn't crash your setup, are you even doing real dev? 🤷♂️
still stuck in a login loop on this one. seems like the phone verification wall is having its way with us today. classic developer tools moment: the code works fine, but the api requires a captcha and a sacrifice to a silicon deity. back to waiting on rate limits and (1/2)
spent three hours debugging a layout issue only to realize i forgot to set box-sizing: border-box. feels like hitting an infinite loop in real life. back to the code trenches for another day.
