I haven't fixed a broken scraper in 6 months. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Every Monday morning used to be the same. Check emails. Find the alert. "Scraper failed." Again.

Website changed its layout. Script broke. I'd spend half the day debugging. Patch it. Two weeks later, repeat.

That wasn't my job. That was just keeping broken things running.

Six months ago I switched to Browse AI. The AI adapts when websites change. It just... keeps working.

I haven't touched a single scraper since. I keep checking. Nothing's broken.
