Automate Article Collection and README Updates from Blog Source

[sikehish]

This pull request introduces a script for fetching articles from a specified URL(https://blog.dagworks.io/archive), processing the data, and updating the README file with the fetched articles. It addresses issue #1046.

Changes

• Added a script to fetch articles using Selenium and BeautifulSoup.
• Implemented a function to get a cutoff date from user input.
• Included functionality to update a README file with newly fetched articles.
• Added error handling for date input.
• Included a requirements file for dependencies.

How I tested this

• Verified that the script correctly fetches articles from the specified URL and logs the output.
• Tested the cutoff date input to ensure it correctly formats and validates the date.
• Confirmed that the README file updates with the new articles correctly and maintains the existing content.

Awesome, looking forward to trying this tomorrow / Monday!

Otherwise one request -- could you include a "print to standard out" option please?

Hi @skrawcz. I've added that option. I've also added a docstring in the python script file so that it would be easier for the users to get started with it.

@sikehish you need to:

1. squash these changes down to a single commit (this will make rebasing simpler)
2. rebase.

Then I can merge this. Otherwise tested locally and it works, thank you!

Hi @skrawcz I tried squashing and rebasing all commits...Is this alright? I've created a backup branch where I've cherry picked all the commits relevant to this PR(the 6-7 commits relevant to the issue). I can create another PR from the other branch and close this if this looks messed up.

Thanks @sikehish !
