I'm impressed you went with an automated solution (PlayWright) for 500 videos after all that, considering they could be cross-loaded from Google Drive almost instantaneously. I'm glad it worked, but coding around a screw-up under the gun seems like a high-risk operation compared to spending 4 hours doing the task manually (albeit being super bored the whole time), but with the benefit of knowing it's being done correctly instead of hurriedly writing a script to potentially do something else wrong very efficiently and dig your hole deeper.
- bruhbruhbruh 4y ago+1 to this. After the few major screw-ups I've caused at work, my self-confidence in my coding ability is rocked, and I tended to react by erring towards manual cleanup, rather than coding some scalable solution for fixing the issues
- leokennis 4y agoActually I was surprised reading that the person wrote a script to delete 900 videos. If you need to do it once, it’s probably 2-3 hours of work? That is identifying a duplicate video and then clicking the button(s) to delete it once every 20 seconds. Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/1205/ https://xkcd.com/1205/
