He runs an online Cypress and Cucumber bootcamp where students build real exercises in their own repositories. His favorite Cypress features are interactive time-travel debugging and automatic waiting, which eliminate flaky timing issues. He advocates for writing small, independent, deterministic tests with stable selectors as a core best practice. For beginners, he recommends installing Cypress, running example specs, and learning core commands like cy.get, cy.request, and cy.intercept while using dedicated selectors like data-cy.
