It’s not going to happen. It should. It’s not going to happen. Nixon got a pardon. Obama decided to look forward and not backwards. Biden couldn’t prevent anything. There will be no punishment. There will be no repercussions.

First Time Using GitHub CoPilot to Create a ReactNative LoginPage app. What Could Go Wrong? Do you want to practice mobile test automation development but need a React Mobile app to test against? I have one for you: DetoxDemo, an open-source app with a Login screen, built with ReactNative + ...

Couldn't find a simple React Native app to write a test automation framework so I "vibe coded" my own with GitHub CoPilot and Claude.ai. That was difficult! It stumbled many times but finally managed to limp across the finish line. www.linkedin.com/pulse/first-...

My first vibe-coded React Native application is complete, based on Dave Haefner's test site, The-Internet. I was going to start blogging in 2026 about putting together a mobile test automation framework in Detox and needed an app to test against. github.com/tjmaher/deto...

Ugh. I had to turn it back on. Too many contacts of mine are still using Twitter.

SELF SELF is the new standard for online identity built on a foundation of security and meaningful personal control over the most unique and valuable thing you own: yourself.

Thank you, @testguild.bsky.social for inviting me to speak in April 2026 about setting up for SELF Inc's React Native mobile app an automated test framework using Detox. Five months to get everything all set for the talk... Wish me luck! selfid.com

2026 is going to be the year I start back up with my software testing blogging, presenting, and giving talks. Had to pull back when my son was first diagnosed 4 years ago with Autism + ADHD. So glad his ABA helped so much he can be in an inclusive classroom in first grade!

I can't believe I have been working at SELF ID for two months already. Happy anniversary to me! www.tjmaher.com/2025/09/two-...

Forgot to marathon all seven previous Mission: Impossible movies in order to recognize all the deep cuts? It's okay! They have so much exposition that the first twenty minutes feels like an audiobook. It is good, with all the death-defying stunts and high-flying antics you would expect. But, wow!

Good luck, Mike! I have until July 11th. I am in the same boat. And it’s sinking.

Anybody need a SDET with 10 yrs of experience? Any remote positions? Or Boston or local to Southeastern Mass? My team just got the axe.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Watching Cory Booker still doing his filibuster. Amazing! www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

Is Corey Booker still filibustering? He must be on his 15th hour by now!

My six-year old son thinks that there should be a Encanto version of Uno. You could call it: Bruno Uno.

Nobody talks about Uno no no no.

Congressman @edmarkey.bsky.social , how could we verify this is true and possibly put a halt to this?

I'm persisting, doing paid work (yay, since Medicare and Social Security are likely to vanish), taking time to feel grateful, supporting politicians and orgs fighting the oligarchy, getting involved locally. And, every time I see the news, it feels like a body blow.

Already got a few for the wife.

I can’t believe that after years of being on the platform, I finally deactivate my account on Twitter. I just can’t anymore.

I am really loving Welcome to Nightvale, @nightvaleradio.bsky.social! Started around Thanksgiving, and I am up to episode 165 so far. I love how nonchalant Cecil is telling about all the craziness around him. And how much he loves his town, his friends, and family.

Be right back. Need to get carrots for Santa‘s reindeer.

Introduce yourself as a TV character:

The Wonderful thing about Tiggers
is Tiggers are wonderful things
tops are made out of rubber
their bottoms are made out of springs
Their bouncey, trouncey, ouncey, pouncey
fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
is I'm the only one

We all feared the transition from his old ABA school where he has been for two years to public school was going to be a rocky one. But no -- somehow he was able to at such a young age absorb lessons what to do when he starts becoming disregulated. With only minor redirection, he is really thriving.

It is so good to see my kiddo doing so well in kindergarten -- and in a mainstreamed class, too! I am so glad the school and the school district really paid attention to his needs when formulating his IEP, observing what supports he needed with his ADHD + Autism.
