He highlights the importance of treating tests as sacred and addressing failures promptly to maintain quality. Emberling's favorite Cypress feature is test replay in Cypress Cloud, and he recommends new users start by outlining their application's UX structure. Outside of work, he enjoys playing music and cards, running an open source web app for card games, and collaborating with other developers. He is proud of his work on E-TRIALS, a platform democratizing educational research.
