| | Welcome to the **179th** issue!Today, I want to share with you some recent developments about [Cypress](https://www.cypress.io/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F179).Everything started three months ago with an [unverified Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/softwaretesting/comments/12ii8ib/cypressio%5Fis%5Fabout%5Fto%5Fdie%5Fyou%5Fshould%5Fmigrate%5Fyour/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F179) where someone shared an opinion on the potential problems at Cypress.I remember seeing that thread back then, but refrained from amplifying it as it didn't seem credible enough (unlike the [Cucumber case](https://softwaretestingweekly.com/issues/166?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F179#start)).But that changed last week when none other than [Gleb Bahmutov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bahmutov/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F179) — one of Cypress' creators and ex-employees — also [expressed his dissatisfaction](https://twitter.com/bahmutov/status/1681271097344380928?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F179) with the company's direction.That post stirred [a big discussion](https://twitter.com/bahmutov/status/1681271097344380928/retweets/with%5Fcomments?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F179) on Twitter, prompting another former Cypress lead developer, [Jessica Sachs](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jess-sh/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F179), to also [share her thoughts](https://twitter.com/%5Fjessicasachs/status/1681309404153675780?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F179).So, what's really happening at Cypress? We can only guess at this point, as I don't expect the company to refer to the revelations publicly.First, I recommend reading [Filip Hric](https://www.linkedin.com/in/filip-hric/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F179)'s article summarising the current situation: [Cypress panic (if there even is one)](https://filiphric.com/cypress-panic-if-there-even-is-one?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F179).Secondly, let's wait for more insights from Gleb.And finally, remember that Cypress is primarily a powerful, open-source tool. And that's unlikely to change overnight, regardless of the company's situation.So, happy testing! 🙂*PS.
