Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I've gone ages without using Spotify and found the list still regularly updates regardless of whether or not I'm actually there listening. This is also why I threw in the Last.FM recommendations though, so I can have something more dynamic based on my current listening.

Do you mean like this?

Edit: To more directly answer your question, this is using the "Public Pages" feature that is already built into Azuracast along with a bunch of custom CSS to make it look nicer

Honestly just go for it, it's pretty straightforward! I'd share my chat transcript but it at points contained things like my API keys.

I can however give some excerpts from the conversation:

You are a senior software engineer. Create a python script that logs into a website using the selenium/standalone-chrome docker container

This was actually my first time using the "You are a senior software engineer" bit, but I've heard a few people saying it works. I came across the idea for using Selenium from this prompt:

Please write a python script to load a website, login, navigate to a URL, and then scrape all of the text that matches a CSS selector

In fact here is the chat transcript for that one. Once I got to the end of this transcript I decided to try out the code. I realized selenium was using my installed browser and that wasn't going to work once I moved this to a server. That was when I moved into a new chat that contains what became the final script, where I started the conversation with this prompt:

I need to write a script that submits a form on a webpage. This script needs to be run from a VPS that does not have a browser

It was in this conversation that I learned about using the headless chrome container. Everything I did was a combination of prompting for additions and reading the documentation on what that was capable of.

I will regularly ditch a chat thread and take the output from a previous one into a new one, as it takes the previous context of the conversation into account for informing future generation, and sometimes I want to pivot or I want to focus in on a specific approach.

Once I had a more focused idea of what the tech stack was going to be it was just a matter of prompt what I needed, test, feed it back any errors and get corrections, notice something wrong (like it wasn't appending .mp3) to the files, or something else I wanted to change, and prompt it in plain english.

There's all kinds of people saying you should use X method and Y approach, but I find I get great results by just being clear and concise with what I'm looking for, as I would when speaking to another developer.

I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to swap out the docker container running Chrome with another that is running Chromium or Firefox. The only interaction with the browser itself is via Selenium, which should be agnostic. I just went with what ChatGPT was able to suggest immediately.

I should clarify this is running a headless browser, so you don't actually need Chrome installed, it exists entirely within the confines of the container and is completely ephemeral. You could also modify this to work with the standard Selenium webdriver and your installed browser of choice, but I made this with the intention of running it on my server rather than my personal machine.

ChatGPT and GPT in general is like having a pair programming intern who simultaneously knows everything but is also capable of making really dumb and obvious mistakes. When combined with the new code interpreter it's crazy powerful, but at the end of the day to get the best results you need a skilled human operator guiding its outputs.

That said, give it a shot as it can definitely help you to improve your skill by explaining what a block of code does.

spotdl, like pytube, is looking up the tracks on Youtube and then using youtube-dl to grab the audio. It's not FLAC, but it's perfectly good for my needs.
