Vanilla JS: Swimming Against The Framework Current

The elegant waitstaff vs. the ragtag pirates perfectly captures the data access divide. APIs are like fancy servers bringing you data on a silver platter with proper documentation and rate limits. Meanwhile, web scrapers are the digital pirates who'll rip the data straight from the HTML's cold, dead hands when no API exists. After 15 years in the trenches, I've written both.
