Today, I switched things up. Instead of just talking about it, I recorded a short video showing how I solved a real Web Scraping exercise using Scrapy.

Specifically,I used response.follow() to navigate through the links I scraped.
Alongside this, I also worked through several exercises in Introduction to Statistics in Python, focusing on:
Using scatterplots to see relationships
Computing correlation coefficients
Knowing when to use correlation after visualization
Even though I didn't record the statistics exercises, they strongly complemented today's scraping work. One helps you collect data, the other helps you reason about what that data actually means.
I'm enjoying documenting not just what I'm learning, but how I approach problems, step by step.
