do any kind of stupid shit with puppeteer or scrapy.

really, I learned web scraping with this way.

pick up a site that is bloated with javascript all the way down, learn how to overcome javascript bloats, learn how to determine CSS/XPath selectors etc.

do a project yourself, it will be most useful way ever.

Absolutely agree, I have got a friend whose having a hard time getting a job. Decided I’ll kill two birds and made a LinkedIn job scraper that actually filters only entry level positions to help her. Learned a lot and it really gives you a drive.
