Quick hack to scrape data without losing your mind

Imagine this:
• You’re on a website.

• You need to pull some data (tweets, prices, whatever).

• You don’t feel like putting together a script, debugging it, crying, doing it all over again…

Solution:
• Open Dev Tools (F12).

• Ask your favorite AI to spit out a script that’s ready to paste.

Practical example:
"Create a script to run in Dev Tools that scrapes all the tweets from my feed (I’m logged in and looking at my timeline)."

Result:
• Clean, working code.

• No installing anything, no hassle.

• All from the browser.

• Data saved in an array and exported as JSON.

What other use cases can you think of? 👇

Enjoyed this post?

Leave me your email and I'll let you know when I publish something new.

Yesterday I asked what tools you use to edit videos with AI.

Between your recommendations and what I've been looking into since, I've ended up compiling more than 80 tools, libraries and repositories.

There's a lot more out there than I expected.

    1️⃣ Editing videos you've already recorded

    There are a few ways to do this.

    If you prefer a traditional editor:

  2. 3

    2️⃣ Transcripts, cuts and subtitles

    I find this part especially interesting because it lets you edit the video based on what's being said.

  3. 4

    3️⃣ Animations, motion graphics and infographics

    This is where I've found the most interesting tools.

  4. 5

    4️⃣ Generating videos from scratch or modifying scenes

    Things change quite a bit here. You don't necessarily need a recording anymore.

  5. 6

    5️⃣ Voices, music and sound

    Audio is another part of the process you can automate quite a bit.

  6. 7

    6️⃣ Visual resources and inspiration

    One thing a lot of you recommended was giving the agent visual references and components it can reuse.

  7. 8

    7️⃣ Turning long videos into shorts and automating posts

    Finally, there are more specialized tools for repurposing content and producing videos at scale.

  8. 9

    8️⃣ And what AI do I use to coordinate it all?

    Looks like Opus 5.5 is king (someone also recommended Sonnet 5.5). But it seems like OpenAI's models aren't up to scratch.

🇨🇭 Websites to look for software jobs in Switzerland:

- LinkedIn - Indeed - SwissDevJobs - EFinancialCareers (Finance-focused) - Tie Talent - Google Jobs (the one I recommend most)

These jobs usually pay between €80,000 and €160,000 a year.

    A lot of people ask me which websites I used to find a job in Switzerland, and I always end up recommending the same ones.

    There are a thousand options, but these are some of the ones I used back then.

    I’ll probably keep posting them from time to time to clear up any questions.
