Scraping millions of pages a day taught me the failure modes nobody blogs about: retry backoff that DDoSes the same site twice, parsers that go quietly null on 30% of pages, queues that turn into landfills. That's what I post about here.

Side quest that became a business: scraping (and many other things) make cloud bills explode, and I got good at un-exploding them. Cut one client's AWS 85% in a week. That's https://t.co/x57dHqy0ri. You pay a share of verified savings, nothing upfront.

TypeScript learning phase:

- I am such a bad developer
- I dedicate my life to TypeScript
