Another trick: You can hover over elements in chrome with F12 and the inspect tool, then right click > copy > copy selector and chrome will generate one for you that way you don't have to actually do any work.
With a selector it's easy to grab data, here's a linux command that gets every user that posted in this thread:
lynx -base -source 'https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12345693' | hxnormalize -x | \
hxselect -c -s '\n' "td > table > tbody > tr > td.default > div:nth-child(1) > span > a.hnuser"
