When I take on a web scraping project, my focus extends beyond just "getting the data." I consider:
1. Robustness: What happens when the website changes? My scripts are built with error handling and dynamic selectors to adapt.
2. Scalability: Need 1,000 records today and 100,000 next month? The solution scales without breaking.
3. Ethical Lines: Guiding clients on what's public, acceptable, and how to avoid legal pitfalls.
Data is a long-term asset. Ensure your extraction strategy is too.
What's your biggest concern when acquiring external data?

This is a great perspective. Robustness and ethics are often overlooked in favor of quick wins, but they’re exactly what make data usable long-term. Building for change instead of reacting to it is the real differentiator 👏
