Modern Web Automation With Python and Selenium (opens on the source site)
Selenium is a web automation tool that allows you to use Python to programmatically interact with dynamic, JavaScript-generated web pages. Your Python Selenium code drives a real browser that you can instruct to fill out forms, click buttons, scrape dynamically generated data, or write automated tests for web applications. By implementing the Page Object Model (POM) design pattern, you can create clean and scalable automation scripts that are straightforward to read and maintain. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll understand that: Selenium allows you to launch browsers, visit URLs, and…

Marketing ops as code: Automating events from planning to follow-up on GitHub (opens on the source site)
If you can write down how you do your work, you can automate it. Here's what I did to support GitHub's APAC marketing team. The post Marketing ops as code: Automating events from planning to follow-up on GitHub appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
Agentic browser automation with Zyte CDP (opens on the source site)
What if your AI agent could use a real browser to search, click, compare products, and collect data, without you writing a selector for every step? By connecting it to a remote Zyte CDP browser, you can turn plain-language instructions into practical browser automation.
From incident to remediation: Building an AI-driven AIOps workflow with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (opens on the source site)
Red Hat ·
AI can help operations teams make sense of an incident, but understanding a problem is only half the challenge. The next question is: How do you turn that insight into a safe, repeatable action? To explore this, I built a simple AIOps workflow using an AWS EC2 instance running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Claude Code, and model context protocol (MCP). The post From incident to remediation: Building an AI-driven AIOps workflow with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform appeared first on Red Hat Developer.

Browser automation with Pydantic AI + Playwright (opens on the source site)
When we build agents, we often want to give them the ability to browse the web: open webpages, navigate from one page to the other, and read the content of a webpage. By combining Pydantic AI with the Playwright capability from Pydantic AI Harness, we can build agents that browse the web safely and programmatically. Using Pydantic AI with Microsoft Foundry models Pydantic AI is an open-source model-agnostic framework from Pydantic for building LLM-based applications and agents. It's type-safe and supports OpenTelemetry, making it a great choice for robust production applications. We can use…

From Chaos to Clarity: How We Built a Unified, Self-Routing Support Ops Ticketing System at Lyft (opens on the source site)
Lyft ·
Written by Atul Gupta, Analytics Manager — LUS Support Ops, LyftAt Lyft, getting operators and riders connected quickly and reliably depends on more than technology — it depends on the teams working behind the scenes to keep that technology running smoothly. For the operators managing Lyft’s fleet across markets, having fast, reliable access to support is what keeps bikes on the road, stations stocked, and issues resolved before they affect riders. Building the infrastructure that makes that support possible is what our team does; this is the story of how we built it.When I first joined Lyft…
The Ironies We Don't See: Why Better AI Demands More Investment in Humans (opens on the source site)
When we talk about integrating AI agents into software engineering, our minds go straight to the wins: faster development, smaller teams, quicker time to market, increased revenue. The pitch is compelling. Who wouldn’t want to ship faster and spend less? But in our rush towards these gains, we’re missing something fundamental. We’re optimising for immediate productivity whilst overlooking a deeper problem. Let me take you back to 1983. A psychologist named Lisanne Bainbridge published a paper on the ironies of automation.1 Working in human factors research, she studied how humans interact…
A GitHub agentic workflow (opens on the source site)
Last month, I became aware of GitHub agentic workflows. I read the site carefully, but the use cases weren’t very exciting to me. I tried the continuous documentation It didn’t work out initially, and because of my lack of involvement, I left it as it was. However, I succeeded in another one that I want to describe in this post. With lessons learned here, I managed to make the documentation workflow work!
XcodeGen and the quest to modularize the Wealthfront iOS app (opens on the source site)
Every iOS application starts as a monolith. Xcode’s default project structure places all source files, resources, and build configuration into a single module (or target, for all the iOS devs reading this). For small apps, this works fine. For a 10+ year old financial application with roughly 2,000 Swift and a handful of Objective-C files,... Read more

We take code correctness and code quality seriously at Wealthfront. One of the most effective ways we ensure that our code is correct is through rigorous unit testing and strong typing. In Kotlin, sealed classes and sealed interfaces offer a powerful tool to model restricted class hierarchies. They provide strong guarantees about the types in... Read more
Automation Scripting with Bash (opens on the source site)
The need for automation in software engineering, especially in Cloud and Platform Roles is apparent. Manual, repetitive tasks consume time, introduce the possibility of human error and can become tedious for team members. In this blog post, I wish to document my journey of automation using Bash. We’ll look at the process and explore how automation can positively impact our workflows and our team. Automating Simple Commands with Bash Scripts For my first project at Capgemini, I have been working as a Platform Engineer within Cloud & Custom Applications. I quickly recognised the importance of…
Doximity Mobile Releases Streamlined with Automation (opens on the source site)
Doximity ·
Releasing mobile apps to the store is inherently slower than web updates due to manual process overhead, such as versioning, packaging, and submitting to the App Store for review. While web developers have long enjoyed full buzzword-compliant Continuous Deployment, mobile teams generally use a defined release cadence, typically 2-4 weeks. The DORA metric, which stands for DevOps Research and Assessment, evaluates performance using four key metrics: Deployment Frequency (DF), Lead Time for Changes (LT), Mean Time To Recover (MTTR), and Change Failure Rate (CFR). These metrics are commonly used…

The Art of Automation (opens on the source site)
I am unsure if my love of automation comes from a dislike of doing the same thing twice or an overall desire to be more productive and make everything more efficient. Like a lot of programmers, I often ask myself “can this be scripted” when I find myself doing a manual task. I was inspired recently by reading Wolfram’s writing on his personal infrastructure for productivity1. I, too, have written about my personal infrastructure2, but not at the level of depth or with the same focus on productivity as Wolfram. There is no time like the present to take another swing at it! Not only do I want…
