Oh dear, HTML emails maintenance/creation is the worst "dev" task one could ever get, best of luck with that!

those templates never work
I had a bad time with them
even though I hate this but find it from scratch and bootstrap are my best go to options
PS: Just completed the node tasks. -
bots for solving captchas? 😲
so you're a criminal? scaming old people of their life savings? And sending millions of spam emails with fake email accounts your bots create? -
I had to do that shit at my internship. The boss was like shitty jobs for people he doesn't need to pay

@heyheni both are different projects
bots for solving captchas is related to web scraping
the email template was another project, plus those are transactional emails -
@heyheni
Automatic captcha solving is a good thing to do.
Don't check for being human.
Check for unwanted behaviour instead.
Yes, embedding a captcha service is easy. But you don't actually want to detect whether the wrongdoer is a human. You want to detect, whether he is a wrongdoer.
Most of the SPAM i get in my forum is written and entered by humans.
There are countries, where humans are obscenely cheap...

This week is unproductive as fuck.
I work as python developer and write bots to solve captchas.
But due to lack of resources I have been moved (working on both) my assigned python tasks and node project.
Guess what, I have been updating html templates for emails for this node project.
I wish to find cactus for the management.
