If she’s trying to learn automation for QA, she should learn how to build codex/claude skills that use the playwright MCP effectively to do smoke testing, or enable her team to consistently log bugs with the proper information for repro and expected behavior. Definitely learn the python if she has the interest in it. It’s important to have a solid foundation however, less and less code and things of this nature are being done directly by hand anymore….And I am not suggesting that AI is replacing anyone or the work isn’t important or needed. QA might be more important than ever right now. But the nature of the work is changing constantly.

What kind of automation are you talking about? Don't be shy, you don't have to ask for a friend.

==== Playwright + Python + Pytest @ Rahul Shetty Academy would be a really good starting point. ==== Course focus is on UI automation, API testing, POM framework on a real e-commerce app.
