Don’t Let AI Erase The Next Generation Of Dev Leaders

Don’t let AI erase the next generation of dev leaders

As AI tools take over more routine coding work, some companies are cutting early-career dev roles — a short-sighted move that could quietly erode the next generation of tech leaders if we aren’t careful.

  1. Below error occured,

    Cannot find module ‘react-dom/client’ from ‘node_modules/@testing-library/react/dist/pure.js’

    1. Hey Somnath! This error might have been caused because of your packages not being properly installed. Please delete the “node_modules” folder and run “npm install” again. Make sure you’re importing functions and components from the correct package.

  2. hey, the second test is failed:
    ` it(“adds numbers”, () => {
    render()
    // check if adds properly
    const num1input = screen.getByTestId(“num1”)
    const num2input = screen.getByTestId(“num2”)
    const addButton = screen.getByTestId(“add”)
    const resultArea = screen.getByTestId(“result”)
    fireEvent.change(num1input, { target: { value: 5 } })
    fireEvent.change(num2input, { target: { value: 8 } })
    addButton.click()
    expect(resultArea).toHaveTextContent(“13”)
    })`

    Expected element to have text content:
    13
    Received:
    0

  3. This if for a Next.js Project. It said “As of Jest 28 “jest-environment-jsdom” is no longer shipped by default, make sure to install it separately.” So I did “npm install –save-dev jest-environment-jsdom” and I’ve removed the line “testEnvironment: “jest-environment-jsdom”,” from the “jest.config.js” file. Then it works..!
