Web scraping is an essential skill for developers, but learning it can be tricky. That’s why I created Housefly, a hands-on project designed to teach web scraping through interactive exercises. Inspired by Google Gruyere, Housefly provides a series of small tutorials with dedicated companion websites built to be scraped. The goal? To give you a safe, structured environment to practice and refine your scraping skills.

nothing novel or crazy but i've found it useful so figured I'd share my repo

> just looked at https://hub.docker.com/_/python/?tab=tags shows container a small as ~26 MB

I believe that's just for the top layer. When I pull python:latest from dockerhub I get an image size of ~934MB.

> And I am pretty sure that writing unsafe Rust is as easy as it is to write unsafe C++

You can write rust code that's as unsafe as C++ but I don't think it's as easy. It would require a lot of ugly, unidiomatic rust.

Do you have plans to get this to other cities? I run a club that does tech workshops and tech talks and I think this would very helpful for us.
