visox··on Quick but powerful research for AI agents with data scrapping and selenium
I did many projects with web scrapping, that is in the past without AI :)

always felt nice to gather data but rarely could i do something useful with them or some sort of a good product. So today i dont think data is the problem, rather usefulness, PMF and marketing

visox··on Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots
man you would be a good villain, wp
visox··on Ask HN: What Technologies Should I Learn to Quickly Secure a Remote Position

visox··on Ask HN: What was your biggest startup fail?

visox··on How to crawl big websites with no sitemap?
well i did basically an infinite stream of site consumption, i stored visited and to-be-visited urls but this can easily grow too much.
visox··on Ask HN: What would you do with $1M?
Guess i would invest most of it stock index investing would be enough. Then i would do some travelling. I may not give up on my job right away even tho in my country the 4% from the 1M would be enough.
visox··on Ask HN: What's an old software that you would like to have again?
Do have some nostalgia towards ICQ, think it was great at finding people based on interest and geo-location. Dont think there is anything like that now, but i also think it cant be copied.
visox··on Tell HN: HN soon to hit 40M entries

visox··on Ask HN: Projects You Thought Were Cool but Failed Miserably – What Happened?
Man i have a whole grave yard of projects that failed, most of the time the problem is i can build it but i cant sell it :D so not even sure if it could sell if i knew how.

On the other hand i did gain some fulfilment while building my projects, sometimes learned something and sometimes even earned some money in a different way

visox··on Ask HN: Anyone else feels anxious not using their free time to its full extent?

visox··on Show HN: Google for Jobs
oh 10 seconds ? what did you search for
visox··on Ask HN: Have you been affected by layoffs?
Yes i was laid off with 20 other people.

Got 6 weeks worth of salary, managed to find a job within a month or so, so it wasnt too bad, but i only got the same salary (i didnt ask for more since i needed a job :D, its different if one does not need a new job)

It didnt feel good but i shacked my feelings of and moved on pretty quickly.

visox··on Is it prudent to use Scala for anything new?
I love scala, much better than java, tho java does steal features from scala.

You can express yourself in much less code and safer.

I do use it profesionaly for past maybe 8 years, mostly backend services.

Anyway kotlin is probably also better than java.

visox··on Ask HN: What will be the first AI “incident”?
