There is also this Github Discussions thread on how it compares with things like Cypress, which is a E2E testing tool used by lots of people on the frontend web. TLDR: Playwright can achieve nearly all the things cypress can & more due to it being a fully scriptable browser - https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/discussions/11201 - https://cathalmacdonnacha.com/cypress-vs-playwright-which-is... - https://alisterbscott.com/2021/10/27/five-reasons-why-playwr...

Joshua Waitzkin, US Chess Champion, Taichi Push Hands World Champion, covers the topic of intuition several times in his book the Author of the Art of Learning. I highly recommend this read (favorite book of all time). Its not a book focused on intuition specifically, but it does cover it alot .

Once you achieve a high level of mastery and experience your area of work, intuition, seems a lot more relevant and reliable. Here are some clear visual examples in sports (but they apply to all disciplines i firmly believe):

Example1: How is Cristiano Ronaldo such a phenomenal elite soccer player? - https://youtu.be/4achmhzLNoY?t=1060

  Example2: How are master level chess players able to calculate positions almost instantly or recall game positions from a long time ago?

I found this conversation with Tim Ferris and Josh Waitzkin might pique your curiosity and they talk about intuition in sports and business. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r6gr7uytQA

TLDR of whole response: topic mastery and experience really help develop intuition

Recent personal example of building intuition for me:

I have been doing a lot of programming contest questions. Initially I was getting stumped on how to approach the problems that kept re-appearing again and again. After so much repeated failure, I felt what I was missing was an understanding of underlying principles and patterns for certain coding questions. I found a resource online and discovered there were lots of topics I had never heard of in these programming contests / coding interview problems like “sliding window”, “2 pointer” etc….

After I started drilling down on those types of problems I struggled with, when I encountered new unseen or familiar looking questions my mind was able to *immediately suggest to me an approach towards solving the problem. Before It would take me a long time to decide how I was going to approach the problem and it was because I lacked knowledge and depth in the area I was working in.

In the javascript world, we have test frameworks like jest which provide mocking implementations. How does `spy` (also a JS/TS lib) compare with Jest? - https://jestjs.io/docs/mock-function-api
