👋 Hey there! 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐈 & 𝐐𝐀 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫. AI is changing Software Development. And it is changing QA with it. QA Engineers who know how to use AI will: ⬩Deliver in days what used to take two weeks ⬩Do work that used to require deep expertise. With AI, basic knowledge can produce senior-level results ⬩Get instant AI feedback on tests, code, and debugging decisions The same applies to Software Developers. AI multiplies their delivery speed. QA becomes the bottleneck. That's why companies are fighting to hire QA Engineers who can match that speed. 💡 In fact, as of early 2026, many companies started adding AI coding tasks to their interview process. QA Engineers who ignore AI won't just fall behind, they risk losing their career entirely. That's not doomsaying. In 2026, tech companies laid off 55,775 people (https://www.trueup.io/layoffs). So, are those layoffs because AI is replacing people? No. AI is not replacing anyone. People who use AI are replacing people who don’t. Unlike the transition from Manual Testing to QA Automation, which took a decade, this shift is happening fast. Capable AI Coding Agents only became real in late 2025. Just a few months later, the entire tech world had changed. That's what this community is about. It's for people who see this shift and understand that right now is not just a pivotal moment for them. It's a short golden window to become one of the first truly AI-Powered QA Automation Engineers / SDETs and set yourself up for a long, safe, and extremely high-paying QA career. ──────────────────────────────────────── 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 I'm 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐯𝐢𝐲, a Vegas-based 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐃𝐄𝐓 with 𝟏𝟎+ 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. I’ve worked across startups and large enterprises, building QA automation frameworks and testing infrastructure across pretty much all modern stacks and tools. In 2025 I introduced AI coding agents into my team's QA Automation workflows. The team adopted it. Management noticed.
