S9 E14 | Playwright Takes Center Stage | Debbie O'Brien End-to-end testing has traditionally been a source of frustration for developers - flaky tests, complex setup, and poor debugging experiences have made it a necessary evil rather than a productive part of the development workflow. With the rise of modern testing frameworks like Playwright, developers are discovering that E2E testing can actually be reliable, fast, and even enjoyable. The integration of AI capabilities is further revolutionizing how we write, maintain, and debug tests. In this episode we welcome Google Developer Expert and Principal Technical PM at Microsoft, Debbie O'Brien, to explore the current state of Playwright and its evolving ecosystem. Between juggling twins under 2, Debbie shares insights on what makes Playwright different, the latest features transforming the testing landscape, and how AI is being integrated to make testing more intelligent and efficient. You can expect to learn why Playwright is becoming the go-to choice for modern web testing and how to leverage its powerful features in your projects.

S9 E13 | Angular SEO 2025 |Jeff Whelpley Client rendered web apps are not generally not indexable by Google Bot and others for extracting on-page content and optimizations for ranking high in the search engine results page. The result is that many organizations use technologies like WordPress, Astro, and others, for a marketing presence on the web, avoiding frameworks like Angular and React due to this limtation. With the maturing of Server-Side Rendering (SSR) in Angular, more developers are building both their interactive web apps and their more traditionally static market web properties with Angular (and React with RSC). In this episode we welcome Google Developer Expert, and open source contributor, Jeff Whelpley to break it all down. You can expect to learn how Angular with SSR is an excellent technical choice for optimizing your web app for Search Engine Optimization.
