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…

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…

Coding with Perplexity AI – Hirst Painting Drawer

Ive not been using AI a lot, frankly, I find it to be pretty lame for the most part, the images are almost always weirdly uncanny and ugly, and the writing is just bland. I've heard it's pretty good at coding though, and I have not tried using it for code at all. So I decided to give it a go. Specifically, I wanted to use it to augment an existing project from when I was taking that 100 Days of Python course. Specifically, Day 18, the Hirst Painting Project. The full original code is here: import colorgram from turtle import…

Iterating Again, Already

A few days ago I posted about updates to my little FreshRSS script. I already did some fairly quick simple updates, though some didn't quite work out as hoped initially. Firstly, I didn't care for the big blob daily article file it pushed out to the archive. So now it spits out a bunch of individual articles, formatted "YYYY-MM-DD-Article Title.md." this created my first issue. I got a "Filename too long error." So I set up a check to truncate the article title to 100 characters, if its longer than 100 characters. I can't just always slice it, because if…
