By the way, a lot of money goes to open-source projects via donations in exchange for an SEO backlink. A lot of stuff going down there.


I wanted to see if chatGPT will be able to understand the meaning of this comic, and i think it did.

*Gpt message:*

This comic humorously highlights a critical issue in the tech world: the dependency of massive modern digital infrastructure on small, often overlooked, and underfunded components maintained by individual contributors. The large stack in the illustration represents the complex and sprawling "modern digital infrastructure," while the tiny piece at the bottom, maintained by a "random person in Nebraska," symbolizes open-source software or obscure tools that are crucial for the functioning of this entire system.

The key message is that large systems often rely on foundational work done by unsung heroes who may not receive the recognition, support, or resources they deserve, despite the critical nature of their contributions. This comic resonates particularly with the tech community, where dependencies on small open-source projects are common.


Yeah, it’s a bit late since it’s already October, but I’m working on a few areas. One is digging deep into AI and how to integrate it with web automation, especially with the tool I’ve been building for a couple of years, https://automatio.ai.

We’re focusing on improving multi-threading, releasing smaller packages, and working on documentation. A lot of effort also went into content creation and boosting the site’s domain authority and backlinks.

Tnx for those games.


Amazing. I am fun of cellular automata and Conway game of life. This looks like a nice game.


I like it because it's Rust


Wow, that’s a tricky bug! Time zones can be so confusing. Glad you figured it out and fixed it. Do you think this could happen in other time zones too?


Its https://automatio.co. We built initial version back in 2019 (actually the first MVP was in 2017).

And after 3-4 years, we paused development to explore the world of blockchain.

We are all in and back fully on Automatio. Gonna catch up with lost time.


A few years ago, we had a client and built a price-monitoring app for women's beauty products. They had multiple marketplaces, and like someone mentioned before, it was tricky because many products come in different sizes and EANs, and you need to be able to match them.

We built a system for admins so they can match products from Site A with products from Site B.

The scraping part was not that hard. We used our product https://automatio.co/ where possible, and where we couldn't, we built some scrapers from scratch t using simple CURL or Puppetteer.

Thanks for sharing your experience, especially that I didn't use Playwright before.
