It's been running slow for hours (page refreshes taking minutes instead of a second) but it seems to be working again.
The scrapper I use for the "Still alive spammers" normally takes about a minute to run, more for "3 page" lists of the undead. But today? Well over an hour ...

what is a scrapper ?
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

A scraper that has been spell corrected?
Or else a scraper that tries harder?

But I should have known guess 4 was wrong ...

Why? Guess 4 was also not staright forward and could be a valid confusing one.
|
|
|
|
|
Without giving spoilers, the result of guess 3 directly said guess 4 was wrong - it could not be that character in that position. Stupid of me ...

My father was a toolmaker.
A toolmaker is essentially someone who creates tools that do things like stamp sheet-metal.
He was brilliant.
I could have seen myself involved in fabrication quite happily in a different life. My driving core is that I like to build - I just happened to settle on software.
I especially like to build things for other developers. I suppose it's the toolmaker in me. 
I love writing code generation tools. Especially the ones that write code that's not realistic to do by hand, such as LALR parsers.
Unfortunately, reading the room I feel like it's not a well understood art. Some of my most elaborate, really cool tools like Slang/Deslang[^] collect dust on this site, despite all the amazing things you can create with it[^]
In the end it has sort of put me off. Maybe code generation just isn't cool enough for the cool kids.

I don't think it's a question of whether code generation is cool enough, but of use cases. A potential user must first have an application in mind that would benefit from a tool or framework. Then they have to learn how to use it to build that application. To overcome those hurdles, it's important to have some non-trivial examples that use the tool or framework.

My father (step father) was also a tool maker and a vary talented man but didn't bother to pass along any knowledge to me.
But I've always been curious and eager to learn. I don't have the patience to do anything as precise as toolmaking but I love to create things.

I also enjoy making software tools which help me or other developers. But no one else uses my tools. 
I also dislike using code written and published by other developers, I'd rather roll my own (in most cases).

It sounds like we're similar in that way.
I have a whole ecosystem of code I use for IoT and it all works together beautifully. That's the advantage of rolling your own, but it sure is a lot of work!

I hope you guys don't miss the irony of all this: everyone complaining that no one wants to follow their path and prefer to make their own.
