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…

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…

Code Project: Automated List From Reddit Comments

This is one of those quick and kind of dirty projects I've been meaning to do for a while. Basically, I wanted a script that would scrape all of the top level comments from a Reddit post and push them out to a list. Most commonly, to use on /r/AskReddit style threads like, well, for this example, "What is a song from the 90s that young people should listen to." Basically, threads that ask for useful opinions on list. Sometimes it's lists of websites or something. Often it's music. The script here is made for music but could be adjusted…

Judging by the comments on the lessons, The lessons are getting harder, though frankly, I am finding they are a bit easier.  I feel like my experience with Web Design is a lot of this.  I also have been looking a bit into how to properly host some of these apps to share here, on my Code Projects Page.  I believe I could set them up to run on a production Flask environment, with different ports, then just map sub directories n the domain to different ports. But I am doing my best not to get distracted.  Yes, I have…

100 Days of Python, Projects 45-50 #100DaysofCode

Things are continuing to be interesting and useful here with the introduction of Beautiful Soup, a tool used to parse unstructured data into usable structured data.  Well, more or less that's what it does.  Useful for parsing through Scraped Web Page data that does not have it's own API available. As normal, everything is on GitHub. Day 45 - Must Watch Movies List and Hacker News Headline Scraper As an introduction to using the tool, Beautiful Soup, we had two simple projects.  The training project actually feels more useful than the official project of the day, though I also remixed…
