The evolution of data collection in three acts of increasing desperation. First, you've got your fancy waiters (API) - clean, professional, brings exactly what you ordered. Then there's the pirates (scraping) - stealing what you need because the restaurant won't serve you. And finally, the undead hordes (archive.md) - the nuclear option when a site has died but you still need that precious data. It's the developer's journey from "I'd like to make a request" to "I'm breaking into your house at 2am with bolt cutters."
