Addicted to Tech

So, today I woke🌇 early the same as yesterday and was done with my Yoga🧘‍♂️ and exercise for the day by around 🕗 8 am. Got my Coursera PY4E specialization certificate, got to know that the Udacity Scholarship's Phase -2 in which I was not selected, one of the students whom I helped got selected and thanked me, it felt awwwesome😎. It made my day😊😇. I was able to setup my Udacity Nanodegree's GitHub repo and progress in my Datacamp course. My college exam went well.

It's been a long time since my last post here, the reason being lack of time in my schedule. But, recently due to COVID I got some free time and thought of restarting the blog by posting at least one blog per day. These blogs are going to be more like a diary entry of what I have learned/built in a day. I will try to be as concise as possible. So, first in the series is "youLike.py". It is a script I started working on the day before yesterday which changes the rating(👍 / 👎) of 20 latest videos of a channel as specified in the code by using the channel id of the channel whose video's ratings you want to change. This idea came to my mind when my mother insisted me to like my sister's newly created youtube channel . As I am a lazy guy🥱 and not interested to open each video and hit the like button, so, I thought of writing a script that would do the same for me.
