USING CHATGPT TO BUILD A DATA PIPELINE

Instead of a prompt roundup, I just wanted to share with you all the design that I plan to launch next week, along with some details on how I used ChatGPT to create it. First, here's what we're going to, starting on Monday:

I think it's a better-looking format, and I got there with no programming skills whatsoever, although I have managed to pick up a few along the way. In the end, this is what it's capable of:

• Searching the web for newly published stories that feature relevant key terms
• Using logic to delineate PromptCraft from Tool Spotlight from Headlines
• Subcategorizing all Headlines so the stories featured are scannable thematically
• Building all scraped content into the HTML wrapper
• Correctly hyperlinking to the original source for every featured item, so no 403s or 404s appear
• Storing some scraped data for later use, removing those items once they are used, and remembering them so they aren't shown again in future publications
• Leaving easily editable space for my editor's note at the top of each issue

Here's how I made it happen:

1. Opened a ChatGPT Project and told it to walk me through building a data pipeline one step at a time.

2. I followed its direction on tools to use, packages to install, scripts to run, etc.

3. I leveled with it when something wasn't working, or I was confused, and it helped me troubleshoot.

4. When the conversation got too long, I Ctrl+A'd that bad boy and pasted it into a Notepad file, which was then uploaded to my mAIn Street News Project as a Source.

5. I started a new chat, asking it to pick up where my Source file left off.

6. I had it build an HTML wrapper with my color scheme so that there was HTML language I could paste into Kit once I was finished with a day's run of news.

7. I relentlessly tested before deciding to make it public.

A few eggs may break along the way as this rolls out live next week, but the important thing to remember is that I went from non-techie novice to data pipeline builder in one week. That was as an English major with no programming skills whatsoever.

Choose something you find difficult. Start by asking ChatGPT to walk you through it one step at a time. When the task becomes big enough (i.e., the chat session starts forgetting things or acting odd), consider starting a Project and uploading your conversations as a Source. Then, keep talking and doing. Eventually, you'll get where you want to go, and you'll learn a whole lot along the way.

With ChatGPT, you can do hard things :)
