One day i will make an app you can connect with telnet or ssh so that you can do pricetracker.wtf on cli. One day. Very cool project!

given that go has an ssh server in stdlib or close to it, this might even be a oneshot prompt with opus.

Lovely project. Yet checking out "cargo install weathr" and is it me or rust is becoming the next nodejs? :D

I had the same thought seeing the long list of "Downloaded" and "Compiling" lines. Looking at Cargo.toml, I believe tokio could be overkill for this. I might clone it and play with reducing deps to see how far I can get reducing the npm-ness of this tool.

TUI twice (1) a day. Interesting tendency. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47075124

I'm convinced we are cycling through the stages of programming as it becomes commoditized.

I propose 'fast coding'.

Like fast fashion, but for software development. One piece of software, one-time use: run, have fun, delete. No maintenance, no support, and no regret.
