About
I'm a software engineer who likes the messy half of the problem: the retailer that blocks your scraper, the video with a scoreboard you have to read with OCR, the API that times out before your job finishes.
Most of what's here started as a question I couldn't answer by reading. Can a genetic algorithm learn to play a platformer? Can you get a usable price comparison out of four websites that don't want to give you one? Each one turned into something that runs.
