The author shared an approach to significantly save app QA time: giving AI agents "vision" capabilities to run tests via a self-hosted simulator.
The post includes the command npx serve-sim to quickly spin up a custom simulator environment for building and testing apps. The author notes that compared to a few years ago, automated QA tools have become much more effective, advising developers to just "build and ship."
