Think of a time when you had to do a test assignment for a job interview but the task wasn't in the programming language you currently use. After installing the new IDE, you probably had trouble setting up the correct versions for JDK or python packages.
I heard this weekend that finally there will be an IDE dedicated only to test automation and test management, JetBrains Aqua. I believe this tool can reduce the problems of setting up the local environment before trying out new automation tools, and that's why I think we're going to hear more about it in the coming days.
Another small but big update was Selenium Manager. Now selenium comes with batteries(browser drivers) included. It's always been a challenge for beginners. In addition, this will be useful for large projects because you won't have to deal with updating drivers for new browser versions every month.
Do you think Aqua will become widely used? Please let me know via Twitter, Linkedin, or email.
Now, onto the third week’s episode.
As automation projects scale, execution time becomes more important due to the need for faster feedback and rising costs. Andrey Enin created this comprehensive guide to help you speed up your tests.

As I mentioned in the last episode, testing has become the responsibility of the whole team. PactumJS is an automation testing tool for all levels in a Test Pyramid so I think it can be a good reason to try that. The other big reason is this nice tutorial from Marie Cruz.

I believe Krisnawan Hartanto’s 3-minute article can reduce your odds of hearing "It works on my machine". Also, you should definitely check the articles in the Resources section.
