It is very hard to upload video everyday with good editing.




He is one of the most hardworking youtuber

The quality of the desktop record is so low!

[louzynerd]

what I love about this channel is the fact that when he sees a good comment about a video idea he makes a video about it, such a great channel I love it <3

At 5:35, instead of cleaning up the list every time the program is executed, you should do it just once, then save it an an external file, and then import it. Also, at 6:00, instead of choosing a random number within the list index range, and then selecting the element at that index, you can simply choose a random element from the list, by random.choice(bird_list)

[BryanJenks]

Dude, you're one of my biggest youtube inspirations, inspired me to REALLY want to learn python better. Love your aesthetic and how you balance nature and tech!

[akra]

Great video, would be good to try and improve the desktop recording as it does degrade what you're trying to show. Keep up the good work.

Believe me the best thing ever happened to this channel is the daily videos especially the automation videos that I like thank you

[vaughnsmith]

This is awesome! I just woke up but you motivate me to jump on my computer and code

[sanjay]

Selenium has WebDriverWait and expected_conditions which can check if an element is loaded and then proceed on further.Time.sleep is still a good idea but page load times are inconsistent and variations can occur in network speed.Great video btw

The first thing popped into my head as a data scientist and ml practitioner: "a pretrained RNN(a neural network basically) could generate new names based on existing ones"

[samueldemissie]

You just solved my problem which i was trying to fix this 3 days. THANKS.

[Ecupable]

I really appreciate these sort of videos. Great inspiration, and learning too, for a realtively low level python user like me. In fact, I like that your code isn't optimized and perfect, . You rather show your projects as they are, kinks and all. That lead me to have a great time learning by other experienced programmers in the comment section, who all contributed with different ways to solve the same problem. Keep it up Kalle!

Youtube: *plays ad about the war against bots*

[HelloWorldCode]

Nice idea! Really difficult to read the text on your screen though

[axelrod]

Yeeees. I love automation. I started learn python after ur videos☺

[franky]

Good idea, but I have a few remarks:
1. i would call the Birds API only once and then save the list of names in a file. The data is static, so why query the API all the time?
2. selenium has explicit wait functions (instead of time.sleep)
3. i would rather use requests and beautifulsoup4. Selenium is easier in the first moment. But every few weeks my Selenium scripts do not work anymore. Every time Chrome is updated, you have to update the chrome drivers manually...
4. there are already public APIs that allow you to search for (free) domains. Just google for them. I would rather use these APIs than scrape the website?
5. or just use whois or the corresponding Python library?

[flightrisk]

just realized i wasn’t subbed to you, am now

i’ve been watching your vids for a bit now i love them thanks

[shivamshandilya]

9:01 Use explicit wait and implicit wait to stop selenium from getting to another function.

[villadseskesen]

1. Request library would've been better and faster here.
2. Maybe make it look through 300 domains and everytime it finds an available one, it saves it in a log file. And then maybe sends a push message to the user when done searching.

[khushchauhan]

Have you considered using the requests module instead of selenium as it’s a lot faster.
