Originally it was created in 10 days by Brendan Eich in 1995 for building simple scripts on the web pages but now it&rsquo;s used for the development of different types of applications like sophisticated frontend or highload backend or even terminal tools - the one language to rule them all.</p> <p>JavaScript evolves dramatically during the last 25 years. In 2020 it has a bunch of features that allow developers to write elegant code for solving everyday problems. JavaScript object model differs a lot from other languages like Java or Python. Some people in the community love JavaScript, but it would be futile to deny that the language has some weird moments. In this article, I&rsquo;ll try to describe the top 3 things in JavaScript that are most weird for me.</p> Interesting Things from Webpack Sources /posts/interesting-things-from-webpack-sources/ Wed, 17 Jun 2020 11:00:00 +0000 /posts/interesting-things-from-webpack-sources/ <p>A lot of frontend projects use <a href="https://webpack.js.org/">webpack</a> as a bundler tool.

We used Node.js v8.9.1. Tests had such workflow: open a page; click an element; check if the page has some content. As you can see it&rsquo;s just a regular workflow for end-to-end tests, nothing special. Such tests allow us to reduce the amount of manual testing and eliminate bugs before the code will be delivered to the users.
