Vibe Coding with Claude.ai – Social Media Poster with Poster

I think it's Vibe Coding. I don't even know WTF Vibe Coding is honestly. This is just, coding with AI, some more. I will fully admit that while I am skeptical of AI in general, i do use it. I guess I am mildly hypocritical like that,. I'm not going through every step of code here, though I will post the finished script. What I set out to do, was to build an automation tool for posting to social media. I will probably work on making some better input tools, but for now, it works fine for posting, and could…

Porting Playlists With Python

I had a brief sting last year where I was using Spotify, but I dumped it, mostly for financial reasons, but also because as much as I like the ability to just, listen to whatever, I kind of dislike the whole "Music as a service" aspect. I can still find new stuff via Youtube and then add it to my list of "Albums to maybe buy eventually". One thing I lost though was my Playlists. I was worried they were just gone, soon after logging in, I swear they hd just vanished, but checking now, they seem to all be…

LinkedIn Daily Games

A lot of people like to play brain games, and while Crosswords have been popular for a while, Wordle really popularized the whole "Once Daily" craze for online games a few years ago. I have done Wordle, and a ton of variations on Wordle. I did Sudoku for a while. I was even doing Crosswords for a bit. Currently, my go to is the daily LinkedIn Games. They are in the app, they may be on the web too, I don't know, I don't look at the website. Hell, I don't even really look at the app except to play…

A Brick of Coffee

Let's do a "boring post". I bought a coffee brick. It's not fancy, it came from Aldi. Hell, it's possible this is the "least fancy" way to make coffee. Most of the time these days I buy beans and hand grind them, but I like to keep alternatives in case I am feeling lazy. So I decided to try the "brick coffee". I was not sure what to expect here at all. Would I need to cut slices off and grind them up? Would I need some sort of other thing I didn't have, how do I store it between…

Python – Simple URL Extractor

This one is pretty basic tier, but more useful than most. I had a website full of links to pages of video files. I wanted a list that I could stick into yt-dlp. I could do a bunch of copy and pasting, or I could use Python to scrape and take all the links. It takes a URL as a CLI Argument, specifically like: > main.py https://website.com It skims the page with Beautiful Soup and spits out a text file with the date-time-url.txt format. Useful if a site changes over time. The site I was scraping was using some relative…
