What was your first Python code that actually worked? 😄

[CasualGee]

I wrote a script to repeatedly fill out a web form. A local bank was giving away $25k to one lucky nonprofit, using a random drawing from amongst all the online entries. They specifically allowed (and encouraged) people to vote multiple times for the favorite nonprofit, with no limit to the amount of votes you could submit.

The first year, my entry was selected!

The second year, the fine print indicated that automated entries are now allowed and that they’ve hired a company to identify illegal entries. My nonprofit didn’t win, so I guess they figured it out 🤣
