help me. I am stuck working in SDET and my job makes me do a cert every 6 months that's "no code" and I need to transition to writing code.

I've been SDET since 2013, in c# and java. I am so fucking sick of selenium and getting manual testing dumped on my lap. I led a test team for a fortune 500 company as a contractor for a project. I can also program in the useless salesforce stack (apex, LWC).

I am the sole breadwinner for my household. I have no fucking idea what to do.

If you're not already messing with mcp tools that do browser orchestration, you might want to investigate that.

For example, if you setup puppeteer, you can have a natural conversation about the website you're working on, and the agent can orchestrate your browser for you. The implication is that the agent can get into a feedback loop on its own to verify the feature you're asking it to build.

I don't want to make any assumptions about additional tooling, but this is a great one in this space https://www.agentql.com/
