tl;dr When using Python to write web scraping / general automation scripts, run Python using the -i flag preserve and interact with the latest state (i.e python -i script.py). This let’s you avoid re-running the whole script every time a change is made. Problem When developing a bot or web scraper that operates behind a login screen, development, testing, and debugging can take longer than you might expect. The process of write code --> test --> debug --> repeat hits a bottleneck every time the browser starts, pages load, login details are entered, the welcome page loads, and so on.

tl;dr It’s hard to underestimate the importance of typing. Unless you are a journalist, legal secretary, or professional writer, you probably don’t get enough practice to ever become truly fast. I built Typr and used it to simultaneously read & type “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!”. Two weeks and 100,195 words later, I was maintaining between 100-110 WPM after starting out at 50 WPM. If you like reading, kill two birds with one stone by using Typr to practice typing material you would otherwise be reading.
