What motivates you to be a Cypress Ambassador?
I was motivated to have interactions with engineers across the world and trying to solve the issues they have with Cypress.
How do you currently help others that are either using Cypress or interested in using Cypress?
I host a Dutch meetup group and write blog posts but I'm the most active on the Cypress Discord channel to answer questions.
What is your favorite Cypress feature?
It's the feature that made me want to use Cypress and that is the ability to time travel and debug what happened in your application
What is your favorite "Cypress Best Practice" and why?
Logging in by using cy.request(). This removes a lot of test waste because you don't have to use a UI to login so instead of 10-15 seconds of visiting a page you are logged in a matter of seconds.
Outside of work, what are your favorite things to do (hobbies, passions, etc.)?
Playing videogames and I love to cook
What is one professional milestone you are proud of? (an accomplishment, celebration, recognition, etc.)
Becoming a Cypress Ambassador
For new users - what is the best way to "get started" with Cypress?
By installing Cypress and opening your very first project. Cypress will scaffold a demo project for you with all commands available. With this you will have your Cypress live documentation with you and you can always look back if you don't know how to select a certain element.
What is your favorite quote or saying?
Don't be afraid to ask questions we all started from scratch.
