mikelev.in/tweets All the talk is about how the field of mid-level programming is dead because ChatGPT and things like it. Oh yeah? Can does it have your login credentials? Can it copy/paste the code into your systems? A human guiding hand is still going to be needed for a good long while.
This video is me knocking out one of my longstanding to-do's of getting my Tweets going back to 2007 on my website as my own asset instead of that of Twitter. I can also organize it and use it to capture and extract ideas for further refinement.
I take the result of a query against the Python Tweepy package, fixing the authentication mistakes made by ChatGPT and store the raw data as a persistent dict using SQLite. I then transforme the raw Twitter data capture that batched up the tweets into broken out tweets and populate a table and Pandas DataFrame.
Finally, I iterate through the resulting table that has an id, full_text, created_on and url field and make it into a markdown textfile and drop it into the Github repo for my website. I git add, commit and push it and my page is pulbished.
There are a few follow-ups including going back to the beginning of my tweets. It stopped
