Back in 2020–2021 I ran a short-lived newsletter on Substack called Alex’s Newsletter. I wrote 5 posts there before life got in the way, and they’ve been sitting off on their own ever since.
As part of my ongoing effort to get all my writing in one place (see Hello, Astro), I’ve now migrated those 5 posts here under the new source-substack tag.
The process was almost embarrassingly easy. I asked an agent to write a Python migration script that pulled the posts from the Substack RSS feed, stripped the boilerplate, downloaded the images locally, and converted everything to Markdown. The whole thing was done in under 10 minutes.
Modern agents are genuinely good at this kind of task.
