More scraping. Starting to build a tool track monitors Amazon prices today. Was hoping to build it in one day but things went sideways. Started out scraping with html-requests, but Amazon picks you up if you do this. Gotta use Selenium! Following (again) the 30 Days of Python tutorial - they're so good. Also shouts out to Stack Overflow, saving my life every hour.

Learned about list comprehensions today - pretty nifty as it allows you to build lists way faster (in terms of characters used) then for loops. Wondering if the run speed is also faster?

Let's see. Getting late now so I'll stop coding now. Works better if I go about it well rested.

See you tomorrow!

Ohhhh before I forget - figured lots of becoming a dramatically better programmer was programming, but also reading about programming.

Started going through Julia Evans' blog (she did RC and writes great - probably is great, too. Here's her explaining what a shell does: https://jvns.ca/blog/2013/09/30/hacker-school-day-2-what-does-a-shell-even-do/). Also found out about Tiny Factories, a group of indie programmers working on cool mini projects. Might look into it!

That's all for tonight!
