How to Benchmark LLMs: Five Mistakes That Skew Your Results

Infrastructure for Continuous Web Data Collection

A one‑off scrape is a weekend project. Running the same collection job every hour for three years is an infrastructure problem, and most teams underestimate how different those two things are. Continuous collection breaks in ways that batch jobs don't. Sites redesign their markup, rate limits tighten overnight, and the IP pool that worked in March gets flagged by June.

Recipients are globally distributed with a long tail in markets no payroll system covers. And the trigger is an event rather than a date: a task passed review, a submission scored above threshold, a referral converted. Nothing about that fits a monthly batch run approved by a controller.

The answer is no, and the confusion is worth unpicking, because the two things sound related and are governed by entirely separate machinery.
