Typescript has surpassed Python and JS as most used on Github for a similar reason https://xcancel.com/github/status/2029277638934839605?s=20

> making strict typing an advantage, not a chore It's crazy that people think strict typing is a chore. Says a lot about our society.

I learned TS after a few years with JS. I thought having strict types was cool. Many of my colleagues with much more (JS) experience than me thought it was a hassle. Not sure if they meant the setup or TS or what but I always thought it was weird.

I was excited to see this but all of that went away when I realized you need to create an app in GCP to use it. Can't really expect non technical users to set this up across the company.

It's an un-invite. A hollow gesture.

Google's Gemini can read Google Docs directly.

They really don't want you to use another LLM product.

So they make the setup as difficult as possible.

Interesting post from the main contributor about this (at least I assume it’s what he’s referencing) https://justin.poehnelt.com/posts/rewrite-your-cli-for-ai-ag...

This is really interesting: "Humans hate writing nested JSON in the terminal. Agents prefer it." Are others seeing the same thing? I've just moved away from json-default because agents were always using jq to convert it to what I could have been producing anyway.

In my experience agents struggle with escape sequence nesting as much as humans do. IMHO that is one well-paved road to RCE via code injection.

God, getting this set up is frustrating. I've spent 45 minutes trying to get this to work, just following their defaults the whole way through. Multiple errors and issues along the way, now I'm on `gws auth login`, and trying to pick the oAuth scopes. I go ahead and trust their defaults and select `recommended`, only to get a warning that this is too many scopes and may error out (then why is this the recommended set…

I have "Advanced Protection" turned on, so I just can't use this at all, because my newly created Google Cloud GCP app isn't trusted (even though I own it and I'm requesting read-only scopes). What a mess.

  Access blocked: [app name] is not approved by Advanced Protection. Error 400: policy_enforced

I'm still confused, @googleworkspace is not affiliated with Google? Seems like it was made by Google employee: https://justin.poehnelt.com/posts/rewrite-your-cli-for-ai-ag...

Google operates across so many verticals that it's difficult to argue a side project is outside the scope of Google’s business and therefore Google could argue it has copyright over the work. To make it easier for engineers to keep contributing to open source, there’s a fairly straightforward path to release code through a Google-owned repository (if you look at github.com/google it is full of personal projects alongside official ones).

There is an official process where an engineer can apply to a committee to have Google waive any copyright claim. That requires additional work so if your goal is simply to publish the code as open source and you do not mind it living under the Google org, using the Google repo path is usually much faster.

Disclaimer: ex-googler, not a lawyer, not arguing whether or not the situation with copyright assignment is legally enforceable or not/good or bad/etc.

Images wouldn't work though, right? I'd be amazed if that worked. My CLI tools handle those.

Obsidian has become almost an operating system for working with markdown. Its Live View / Edit mode is excellent (WYSIWYG) and its ability to accept pasted content and handle it appropriately is good and getting better. Its plugin/extension ecosystem is robust (and has a low barrier to entry), and now that it has a CLI I expect to see an acceleration of clever workflows and integrations. No affiliation, just a very h…

BUT the main supported sync module is cloud only they wont let you self host for free which is really shitty and lame.
