The 5 stages of JSON_TABLES
When JSON_TABLES released Jay Miller thought this would be the greatest thing ever!
Several months in, I'm not seeing the hype that I through it would get around the web. Even AI doesn't seem to care about it.
I'm hoping to get the most out of my local content based heavily on the metadata stored as JSON.
This talk embarks on a journey of learning to accept JSON_TABLES for what they are, powerful but not quite the next big thing. I also highlight the feelings that came from this and exploration and how things could be sweeter.

Awkard End-to-End Testing with Playwright
Maybe if you own all the components or if you have a testing team to make sure everything is acting the way it should. Sadly end-to-end testing is full of pitfalls and things to think about, especially when you don't control the entire stack. Often you end up with awkward conversations with engineering, marketing and others as you all fight for space to get your message across.
Enter Playwright, the open-source testing platform, to help us test what we control and what we don't. This talk will walk through testing your site End-to-End with playwright. We'll address the highlights, concerns and next steps when you need to test things that may or may not be in your control. It won't solve all your testing problems but it will help you identify when you need to have those awkward conversations early before they're with your users.
