interesting timing to see this video, literally the day after I completed my first full-stack application which literally revolves around web-scraping :D

I used to web scrape all the time, but stupid js frameworks obsfucated css class names has made it very difficutlt.

In my opinion as i developed multiple web scraping application, half of the time is not spent coding but instead trying to reverse engineer the web application. Simple ones are just matter of looking at requests from dev tools and manually make api calls, while most complicated ones involve backtracing how content is loaded on the page to find the js code responsable to do that. Basically its 70% reverse engineering and 30% coding, if you do things the smart way.

I remember starting to watch your videos when I was entering computer science Ba, and as a 28 year old 1 semester left to graduate, you’re still uploading good content that’s unique. Never get tired of your vids , keep it up brother . I’m also concerned with the job market , can you make a vid about new grad Cs students ? For example seems almost every job wants front end or something and my school never taught any of it

You want to get a job from what your school taught you? You are in for a ride brother. Tech is about your own research and self learning, every fucking day.I pity people that majored in CS because they heard about a programmer earning 6figs

Unless u went to ivy league and wanna be a quant then u gotta do front end js react sql are key for majority. School is duhm unless ivybleague except for piece of paper

AFAIK the button highlighting is a feature based on video subtitles, including those generated automatically, but still somewhat random. I didn't catch those because I was already subscribed and like the video a moment before you said it.

@v1d300 2 ай бұрын

I don't think its a video subtitles feature. It just happens randomly in my experience. The thumb up button shakes and subscribe highlights. Didn't happen for me on this video though :(

Hi Forrest. I was wondering how you still feel about AI and the future of software engineering. With chat GPT out for over a year now, have your views changed much? Maybe a good topic for another vid.

@redbill5197 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for the amazing video! Much appreciated as a young web developer. By the way, none of the buttons lit up or did any animations... I am a subscriber, so I don't know if that's why. Peace!!!

Is there a reason/advantage to using Bright Data's "scraping browser" product instead of integrating their proxy and IP rotation services into a script I'm running on my own server?

@yafethtb 2 ай бұрын

Yeah. Scraping a dynamic website really makes me want to scream like Linus Torvalds to NVIDIA. And I also hate CloudFlare 😂

I am working on building a project that heavily requires scraping so I been doing a lot of research. And its really hard to find anything good that is not sponsored by brightdata. I get it, their marketing team has done a great job with tapping a perfect niche of creators who provide valuable information but this also creates a problem to ending up finding that almost each good resource is related to using brightdata and its not something I want to pay for when starting a hobby project. Anyway, this is a great video either way. I learned a lot of things I hadn't considered in my planning. Like the ETL(thats a new rabbit hole I need to dive into) or adaptive content extraction to account of layout changes. I was just assuming I will set up reporting to notify me when I start getting no content and then I will fix it. So thank you for that. Do you setup redis or something to make sure some requests are accessed from the cache of recently requested data than scraping again or accessing the db? is that necessary? And at what point should a webhook be setup and for what purpose exactly? Thank you

Speaking of Females, if Hitler's fuhrer have Magog carrier of motorized machine monsters then the Northern Magog have ice snow predominant in their place near Arctic circle, and ice surface can better conduct gases and science elements and compounds interaction which can attract those science things from everywhere, who between them is stronger except for the Super Magog Dark Matter? Will they suffice at full force during the final battle end times?
