Thanks for sharing. Love the zstd trick. I suspect it still works with older (e.g. bs/python based scrapers) but with puppeteer/chrome not so much...

Nice, what’s your setup? How much work was involved?

FYI I just tried to read your blog but I’m getting the: “Sorry, you have been blocked” banner from CF.

Nah you're misreading it, it's just a creative interpretation of the famous Kent Beck comment:

"for each desired change, make the change easy, then make the easy change"

Yes! I picked up a similar trick so to speak from Jackson Galaxy.

The main rule for me is this: show that you’re not a threat, don’t get too close but give them a chance to approach you. Curiosity > fear

Unfortunately my dog has too much of a prey drive to tolerate cats, but the silver lining is that he’s quite cat-like anyway.

I saw it first on a recent Anthropic post, followed by a similar comment thread. There’s some sloppy techbro poetry to it, like when we used to call marketing people growth hackers a decade ago.

How's the sequel now, is it... playable? Good enough to replace CS1 (which I imagine a lot of folks are still playing)?

Yeah, although, the word “just” is doing a lot of work here.

Any chance you could share a bit more detail? I’d love to try this myself but could use some proven structure / approach.

Who is them and who is us? People are dying and we’ve been tricked to treat this as if it were a football game.

Years ago I used to get a neat (50%) tax discount in Poland for creative / artistic work as a SWE.

Wiping tears with my Portuguese tax return this year.

Humans adapt and will always break the rules, but that’s not something that can be solved with tech. Think: prohibition vs public anti smoking campaigns/healthcare support/and then increasing prices

Culture/social pressures work better than purely technical solutions
