I’m definitely not going into depth, but just briefly summarizing from a 10,000 foot view. This is a continuation of the review for week one. Why […]

Coursera Machine Learning Review: Introduction

I’m definitely not going into depth, but just briefly summarizing from a 10,000 foot view. This is a review of week one. Defining Machine Learning First […]
Publishing Blog Posts to LinkedIn Automatically
My Struggle with Sharing Content on LinkedIn Automating stuff takes some investment time to set up. I imagine this is a big reason why some people don’t do it at the very beginning. This investment in infrastructure does not always make sense with regards to time. That being said, I think a lot of people […]
Machine Learning, Nanodegrees, and Bitcoin
Learning Machine Learning I am by no means an expert in machine learning. I actually know very little about it. From my limited understanding, it is a program designed to make the computer learn from some inputs in order to generate an output. That output will probably be better than what humans could do on […]
Automated Testing with REST Example Part 3
This is part three of a series about developing and testing a simple REST interface. Code can be cloned or viewed from https://github.com/tscott8706/restexample. I encourage you to follow along in this series if you want to learn any of the following: TDD or unit testing in general VIM/screen Docker REST implementation using Python My normal development […]
How Can I Get My Team to Embrace Test Automation?
Have a question for me? See my About Me page and send me an email. Based on this post and question, I am considering starting an online book club where we email our insights based on going through a book. If you are interested, please let me know by emailing me (tim [at] developerautomation.com) or leaving a […]

Vim and Hotkeys to Automate Tasks
My Learning Experience with Vim I’m not going to go into the details of how to use Vim – there are plenty of tutorials out there already for that. I will briefly explain how I started and learned vim. My entire curiosity with it started from hearing stories from co-workers about people who could code […]
42 Reasons to Use Software Automation
Software Automation is Better than Manual Testing I hate manual testing. I would rather the computer do the testing for me (as long as I tell it how to do so through automation). It increases my job satisfaction. Manual testing takes a lot more time than an automated test (assuming both are doing the same […]
