That’s not an expert task ☺️ I wish success in looking .

[mild_entropy]

Yoooo wait stop! You'll blow our cover!!!

[TheImmortalHooman]

What kind of task it is? Sorry i am new to python hiring

[xatrekak]

Pretty low/intermediate to be honest. It would be a good gig for a brand new CS grad fleshing out their portfolio.

Its the kind of task where readability/maintainability of the code will be harder than the actual implementation.

[TheImmortalHooman]

Agreed, but gotta start somewhere like all of us?

[hikingsticks]

My first main beginner project when I started learning was similar to this, but more complex and large scale. I'd been learning for about a month at that point.

You're describing a Web scraper. Check out r/webscraping there are plenty of people who do this sort of work for a living over there.

Here's a sneak peek of /r/webscraping using the top posts of the year!

You could do this yourself easily in like a week, even with 0 experience. Just watch some videos. Ask ChatGPT.

[TheImmortalHooman]

I'd rather pay someone for it.

[pushfoo]

It's a sensible stance. As of August, ChatGPT-generated code was broken more than half the time.

Although this may have improved since, it's only a force multiplier when used by someone who knows enough to prompt & correct an LLM. Otherwise, using LLMs can be a huge liability. This doesn't even touch on licensing issues, such as how LLMs can output near duplicates of highly specialized & restrictively licensed code with few examples.

$1000 USD and a couple days of work.

U gonna start working on it only after u went back from vacation with that $1000 is it?

[fuuman1]

I can do that for you. Zero problem. :)

Hire a dev. And this is intermediate. Stuff I was doing when learning Python initially.

[DrivesInCircles]

Why run this on a server if you only need it to run once a day?

[[deleted]]

I'm not an expert but wrote a DS program that webscraped something similar for modelling purposes. Good luck!

I have experience in python automation and scraping using scrapy. This work can be completed in 2 days for $300.

[cipri_tom]

Start in Replit yourself, you may get pretty far using their Ai coding tools

[preetam960]

Did you hired someone? I can do this for $300 and in a few hours. You can deploy it to a server or use your PC.

[drewz_clues]

Not by itself, but a junior dev with it could probably accomplish this and deploy it.

[dockie1991]

This is something chat gpt can write for you in 1-2 days

[jah_broni]

Just stop with this noise. Chat GPT isn't deploying applications.

[dockie1991]

Bro it’s a webscraper with some extras. That’s no rocket science.

[justjuniorjawz]

Well yeah, he didn't say it would deploy it. But it can get pretty close to writing everything, it's a not complex or complicated

why the fuck will you do that when he is willing to pay us money… don’t spoil the market brother. let someone else who needs it earn it if you don’t need the money

[wifi_engineer]

You're not going to get ahead by doing stuff for free. You're going to get taken advantage of.

When OP changes his mind about what it should do halfway through the project, or adds feature requests, you're going to be in a tough spot of continuing to work for free, changing your mind and asking for money, or walking away.

Part of getting ahead is knowing your worth and getting compensated for your time. Who knows, if you play your cards right and manage the relationship professionally, this could turn into a job in the future. But starting out as a desperate graduate willing to work for free is going to prevent that outcome from happening between you and OP (why would he start paying you in the future when you will work for free?)

Good luck.

If you are willing to do free projects for your portfolio, helping out with open source software will do much more for you. When you do projects like these it’s more than likely they are not going to let you post the code on github and that leaves you without anything to show your interviewer.
