Prompt

Full Thread

The full thread with ChatGPT can be found here.

I've also included the first prompt I provided just for posterity.

Initial Prompt

Paul Graham's website links to an old RSS feed at this link: http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/feeds/feed.xml

It looks like so

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"><channel>

He links to it the RSS feed from the following link for reference: https://www.paulgraham.com/rss.html

However, this is outdated and there are my new essays available at here: https://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html

In particular, here is the tbody on the webiste above:

I want to have an updated RSS feed myself and others could use and am thinking of doing this:

  1. Write a A python script that:

  2. Use GitHub actions to run this daily or weekly

  3. Host the feed on GitHub pages

I have two questions:

  1. Can you think of a better approach?
  2. If so, what is it?
  3. If not, please provide all the code I need for this.
