In today’s post, I’d like to expand on a recent webinar where I participated as a speaker. The event was organized with Sii Poland, and I discussed using AI with Playwright in various scenarios. During the presentation, I focused on several key topics, and I encourage you to watch the recording. These included what’s possible with LLMs, ideas for leveraging MCPs, the most important limitations of LLMs, and why learning technical skills is still crucial. #playwright #webinar #mcp #testautomation #testing #softwaretesting

Great to be on Romanian TV again, sharing thoughts on the local IT market. Tech’s impact is real — it drives 8% of our GDP. That’s no small feat. It’s a signal that we’ve built something real. Tangible. Valuable. But of course, the big question I was asked — and the one we’re all quietly thinking — is this: "What’s next for IT in 2025?" Here’s my honest take: The market is shifting. Dramatically. Many companies have let people go. What’s left are the essential teams and the core projects. Gone are the days of “classic” outsourcing — now, the conversation is moving toward product, funding, and innovation. And no, AI is not stealing all the jobs. That narrative makes for good headlines, but not real business insight. We’ll still need engineers. Just not for the same kind of projects. The need will evolve, not disappear. That said, while the industry may slow in some areas, I’m still optimistic. We’re not facing a collapse, we’re facing a transition. New verticals, new models, new opportunities. But when I was asked what’s holding Romania back from becoming a real product-driven tech hub? My answer came down to two things: 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞. It takes guts to move from service provider to product builder. From stability to risk. From short-term cash flow to long-term value. 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥. Romania still lacks serious funding infrastructure. Too often, the checks are too small, the risk appetite too low. So the innovators — the ones building things that could actually put Romania on the global map — they go abroad. And sadly, their products usually stay there too. #OvesEnterprise #IT

Dev teams often mistake surface polish for strategic clarity. ​​A sleek UI might win design awards, but if it’s built on shaky assumptions, it’s just an expensive mirage. If your idea is going to support real users, scale with your business, and withstand inevitable pivots, it needs more than aesthetics. It needs structure. It needs a blueprint. If a project kicks off without a validated plan that accounts for business goals, user needs, tech constraints, and delivery realities, things can go sideways fast. A presentation slide is made to sell an idea. A blueprint is made to build it. ❌ Slides don’t clarify scope. ❌ They don’t define trade-offs. ❌ They don’t align delivery teams with decision-makers. A blueprint does all of that and ensures that every hour spent building moves you toward something that works, lasts, and supports the business. At Mavric, we believe innovation should serve your business, not the other way around. Our role is to bring strategic thinking and technical expertise to your vision, staying grounded in your goals every step of the way. Strategy beats sizzle in every successful software build. Build it right, or don’t build it at all. Are you building from a blueprint or a pitch deck? #productstrategy #softwaredevelopment #digitaltransformation #buildbetter
