Yo, mixing implicit and explicit waits? Big no-no. That’s like pouring cereal *after* milk—just chaos.
Stick to explicit waits for precision. For stubborn elements, I use polling intervals. Like, instead of checking every 500ms, try 250ms. Feels faster, even if it’s not.
Pro tip: If wait in webdriver keeps failing, maybe the locator’s the issue. Try XPath or CSS with more unique attributes.
And hey, for random timeouts, maybe your test env’s just slow. Docker + Selenium Grid helps me avoid that mess.
