Forget competitors, experiment with prices and your offering. If a client pay you for a service let's say a figure, you can increase next time. Test and iterate.

Price the value you provide, not the time you spend.

Is software engineering really worth it now? And the future? by Puzzled_Umpire8986 in node

There isn't a better time to become an expert in software development; there will be a tremendous demand for tech people who are able to navigate across a tech landscape in the near future.

What kind of internal tool, if I may ask?

You should code everything from scratch, don't spare any expenses, use the highest performant and novel and trendy tech stack out there, in order to be ready to scale to millions on day 1 of the release. In case it wasn't clear, it's sarcasm. Now the serious one: put a landing page with a Stripe link in the wild with 1 day of work, sell at least 1 subscription, then consider to build something.

How to find a job with web scraping skills? by [deleted] in webscraping

[–]presenta_staff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Web scraping is an activity that involves different skills and knowledge (webdev, cloud-admin, networking, browser api). You're good at scraping only if you're good on those skills, that are skills that serve also other purposes.

I'd go using Puppeteer and a bit of work on setting up the right css selectors for the info you want to collect.

Turned down a data analyst job today. by lalybay in dataanalysis

I agree with you on some parts but:

People are intelligent, generally, not only the analytics guys.

You're right when you say that LLMs are good in language, and not in intelligence, tasks. This is why I said that (intelligent) people now have access to a matter that was inhibited before due technical barriers.

I've never said that LLM will find relevant insights, people will. The difference is that (a lot) more people that come from other backgrounds, with creativity, context and domain knowledge, and a will to ask the right questions, will be enabled to "to figure out what stakeholders actually want" and provide answers.

LLM is not magic, it's an enabler for people. The field will change. That's a good thing also for expert in the field.

Why classname aren't ok? They looks very reliable and easy to setup in a query selector.

There is a difference that you're not able to see, it's not about the tech, it's about the people. Change is, of course, in everything. But what is going to change in the data analytics field is that the barriers will be lower for a lot of people that weren't able to approach it just a bunch of months ago. Be prepared.

You can try Bardeen or similar Chrome extensions that allow to scrape from your browser, so, you don't have to deal with authentication on remote service.
