As the founder of one of the screen-scraping tools he alluded to in the video (Selenium), I just want to say the video has one of the best explanations for the difference between automating a process through a user interface vs an API. In the end, entropy always gets you, but you can push it off a little bit longer if there's an API.

I got my first job in software writing selenium code, your library literally changed my and my family's life.

Your work has had a huge impact in my career and life.

Introducing Selenium to testing teams has been a complete game-changers for a lot of organisations I work with. Often traditional orgs will assume you can't automate front-end testing because it requires a user to go through all of these processes in different front-end SaaS apps. It's literally saved hundreds of man-hours across the organisations I've introduced it to and allowed the project teams to focus on features and reporting instead of testing.

Thank you!

Selenium is awesome, but the browser GUI for it in Firefox seemed to... Regress heavily from where it was a few years ago? It used to allow you to export a script as any type of code and now that's no longer possible. The newer gui based tools have maybe a fraction of the features that the selenium GUI used to have

What happened?

I love and use Selenium all the time. Thank you!

Thank you for your work sir. I love Selenium.

It's a team effort! I'm more of a fan and advocate for the project these days.

Thank you for Selenium. I recently used it to parse some hotel data for Covid.
