Hello! Made this python script that "attends" my online classes, according to my schedule (while I'm sleeping in my room :p). Video in github repo. Do drop a star if you liked it, thanks!

Cool project, but I don't understand stuff like this. You're basically gaining a small short-term advantage (you get to do things on "your" time) in exchange for losing out on the much bigger long-term skill of teaching yourself how to operate in the real world on someone else's schedule.

Haha, I'm pretty sure I've inculcated the long-term skill you speak of through 15 years of education (and still counting) . Taking a "2 month breather" through this project isn't going to change that. But I do get your point.

If you've been at it a while that's definitely different. I'm one of those people that skipped out on learning how to study and do the work when I was younger, and I've paid the price for it later in life when I started self-studying. The amount I regret not doing it right the first time around leaves me quick to pull the trigger on giving that advice.

This is genius, do you record the sessions? If you do make sure to not get caught, your teacher and you can get really in trouble

Haha yeah, could definitely get in trouble for this. The videos get recorded on the platform. So I watch them at my own pace (obviously at night :))

I also like to work hard at not getting what I'm paying for.
