You are on a steep learning curve. It is good because it means you are learning: tech, tech best practices, about your org, about the product and domain expertise. On top of that, you got to form lots of new social connections. Like @disrae

I think the problem is that a number of books that claim to have direct impact on your life/career are perfectly capable of being written as a 100 page book, but are stuffed with repetition to pad it 300-400 pages. Reading through thes

import gc gc.disable() in python. The python script would previously take 4 hours to run. There were lots of small functions and these were called on a loop. I ensured that there were no circular references within any of the functions and t

Count me in. I love 15" Thinkpads. The keyboard with numpad pushes the main letter pad offside. Also the demarcation of the main keyboard and the numpad is non existent making typing a terrible experience. That was a deal breaker for

I feel your pain. I have often reached 600+ tabs. I might have touched thousands. Didn't count. I tried One Tab. It seems to work for many people here but for me once in a while it lost all the tabs, which is not acceptable. See, the w

Maybe it didn't have python support? Sorry, I may have misremembered. I do remember something missing that I couldn't use it in my existing dev setup. As solo developer, I prefer to keep my dependencies minimal, mostly python.

Not OP. For one thing, Selenium was not super reliable, at least for me, especially when trying to run multiple instances. Do note that I used the official docker swarm method. When I was exploring that option, Playwright was still windows
