Hi, I'm on a job search right now (USA, full stack developer) and have learned a lot about what works: Emailing people at the company asking to be referred to the hiring person has resulted in way more interviews compared to applying. But there's a catch. When I email say three contacts, I...

Hey guys, I have a warriorforum for hire post but it's not getting any traction. Anyone want to help me by posting to my thread? I'll pay you through paypal for the help.

How do you guys rotate through several proxies to avoid a big website, say Google, from IP / captcha blocking you? Deathbycapcha has an api. I plan to write some scrapers using javascript (request + cheerio libraries). So using the Google example, I'd guess one could run something like...

In terms of popularity, here's what it looks like in the USA (as a whole): Wordpress React / Node Rails (declining) Django Laravel Vue I did not rate Java (too big biz for me) or mobile techs Wordpress pays less than the others overall but volume of work is much greater.

I followed that path too. I would suggest thinking of ways to leak traffic from other sites to yours. Twitter bots, blog comment bots, etc.

Anyone familiar with woocommerce sites and know of a good footprint to search and scrap using scrapebox? I need a big list of these sites for a project.

I started with Javascript and struggled with its more complex concepts. Went to Python, found it a joy. Now I'm back to JS. It makes sense now and I'm learning React (a popular componet based front end library). So my recommendation is to start with Python, its a great training wheels language.

I have the same thinking long term. Short term what do you think is better to prioritize? I am mixed because PHP has wordpress, but Javascript has the front end benefits and also the new front end frameworks.

I've heard duckduckgo.com doesn't record any visitor data so it would seem good. Can't speak to quality or completeness of results though. Any other good ones that are nice to scrape without a ton of anti scrape hassles?

Which one is better for general botting tasks? PS PhantomJS is being deprecated by Selenium:

I'm trying to create more flexible matching patterns. Facebook uses a lot of dynamic classes with no id attributes when logged in

This is python 2.7 with Selenium: And it's targeting the log in button on Facebook.com. I think the syntax is off somewhere but not sure.

I'm thinking PHP / Wordpress / Laravel, or Javascript / Express / React. Concern with PHP is the smaller business / lower pay nature of the work especially in the Wordpress world, however I hear it's easier to get into. Javascript seems to be getting big for startups / front end / back end with...

What resources did you guys use to learn how to multi-thread your Python programs? I would like my simple selenium bot to be able to run multiple instances concurrently, but find the subject a bit intimidating (I'm in the early stages of learning OOP).

After 5 days of trying to get Selenium/Python to use my proxies with Firefox I'm ready to try a workaround. I may use PhantomJS instead but I actually prefer a GUI browser. The other option is controlling IP at the system level, which sounds like a VPN. Are there any good VPNs that work well...
