Curfew worth it or not for freshers ?

curfew is the most intresting part of first sem.
the thrill of being outside hostel and enjoying your first ever night out in your dream campus feels becomes your core memory of your life.

The thrill of tricking the guard or already being outside the hostel and doing random things with group of 5-6 people doing random things like exploring the whole campus, finding couple spots and actually disturbing them by making random noises in the dark and all ( we all did that), clicking selfies with your group on that new phone that your parents just bought for you, actually singing songs and calling it a mehfil and if some guy with guitar then it will be a hell lot of funnnn.

experiencing actually your first night canteen, eating patties of that RKB, ahhhhhahaha
that first bite will feel surreal, and that cheese, ohhhohoh. Do try it....

attempting to go the Maths department terrace. ( sadly it is closed after 12 ig, not sure fully tho)

going to very random places in the campus and just making wiered noises in dark assuming no one will listen.

clicking photos with Thomson building, in night thomson building feels very beautiful. the clock and the architechture , ahahaha, and wired poses we make with that building, those photos you will remeber for you whole life and these photos will actually hit when you will be leaving the college ;(((

So yes curfew are not restricitng you freedom...

Self-healing Playwright scraper

I run a few small scrapers on cron price trackers, a job feed, a stock watcher. Every couple of weeks one dies because a site renamed a CSS class. Patch, push, repeat. Maybe 30 min/month of pure boredom. So I spent a weekend on a fix.

Selfmend is a Playwright scraper where you describe each field in plain English (e.g. "the price in pounds, e.g. £51.77"). When a selector returns nothing, or returns something that fails the field validator, it sends the page's accessibility tree (not raw HTML) to an LLM, which proposes a new locator. A validator gate (type / regex / range) checks the result before it goes in the cache. So the LLM proposes; deterministic code accepts or rejects. That gate is the whole trick without it, the LLM silently corrupts your data over time.
